			<content type="html"><![CDATA[[quote=Kd2000]Would it include bricks-as-motion blur?[/quote]It can be anything that a person would see in a brickfilm.  So Flash's superspeed blur, for example, would definitely fall in this thread.

Excellent.

I should add that if you have any requests, like say I'm looking for squib explosion effects for when a plane shoots bullets into the ground, ask it here and hopefully someone can provide resources and suggestions.]]></content>

Would it include bricks-as-motion blur?
[quote=Lechnology]So share what you've done, what you know, and what you've seen.  I, myself, would like to see some animation effects that I could adapt.[/quote]

This playlist of NXTManiac's Technic video commissioned by the LEGO group makes good use of bricks as smoke, dust, and snow [url]https://youtube.com/watch?list=PLP6mk0hz8Q4dF1yYtZZ-gCEWtrun7xOW9&params=OAFIAVgI&v=uEfjOya55_s&mode=NORMAL[/url]

I think the folks who made these effects in The LEGO Movie used Maya and Houdini as their software.

[quote=Lechnology]For posterity, I'll update this post occasionally with a list of links to said examples and techniques.  Organization and formatting shall come about in the future but to start things off, these are what I managed to find so far.[/quote]
I will not share everything I see right now- for that reason too.]]></content>

			<content type="html"><![CDATA[I thought it best to have a collection of effects animation and techniques done in brickfilms, both stop-motion and CGI.  This can include Minecraft-style effects, since both are blocky, but it's more than just putting blocks together into shapes of the effects you're making.  It's also using the pieces available to create such effects like muzzle flashes and ripples in water and swapping techniques for digging a hole.  [url=http://www.bricksinmotion.com/forums/user/47]MindGame's film directory[/url] is an example of creative approaches in animating these effects.

So share what you've done, what you know, and what you've seen in brick-based effects.  Or if you have a request on how to animate an effect in LEGO/plastic construction toy pieces, ask it here and hopefully someone can share their knowledge on it.

For posterity, I'll update this post occasionally with a list of links to said examples and techniques.  Organization and formatting shall come about in the future but to start things off, these are what I managed to find so far.
