Radar – Dradis – Light Grid

May 6th, 2009

Dradis

This collection of 3 separate projects allows you to create any variation you can think of when it comes to radars, sonars and other scanning device screens. Because everything is determined with expressions, you need not worry about all that blinking and labeling. You just animate your targets and adapt the design, and the code does the rest. Also included is a setup that uses a regular 3D grid and triggers lights based on the rotation of a reference plane.

Curly Wurly

Proving the flexibility of the Optical Flares plug-in, this preset produces a background pattern from a series of scattered elements. As you move the imaginary light source around, the rings will rotate.

Wave

Using a lot of vertex pulling and displacement textures, this project simulates a wave tipping over using Freeform. Be warned that this project is quite rendering intense and will be slow on all accounts.

Sprite Grid

February 21st, 2010

Sprite Grid

Once more based on a question from a user on a forum, this project illustrates two techniques that you can use to create a dithered/ bitmapped look as in those old 8bit video games. By defining custom shapes, you could even use other geometric forms as the shape of each "pixel", e.g. stars or dingbat symbols from a font.
