Topic: Wax 2.0 and water effects.

Hi Guys.

I need to make a fire, explosion and fireball effect for a brick film where the deep fat fryer shoots out a huge fireball that burns down the restraunt. But how do I do it on Wax 2.0?

I also need to make a puddle of oil that one of the chefs spilled on the floor but I don't know how to do it on ...
Well, I don't know how to spell the name but I think it is squiltle water reflections or something.

Thanks for all help!

Re: Wax 2.0 and water effects.

The FX in WAX are not the best. You need to use explosions from detonationfilms.com:
http://www.detonationfilms.com/free_stuff.htm
http://www.detonationfilms.com/free_stuff_page_2.htm
http://www.detonationfilms.com/free_stuff_page_3.htm
These clips you have to compose via WAX in your video. Use the green/bluescreen-tool. You can also use a masking-tool for explosions "behind" things like cars, tables, doors, windows.

Water-Effects you can make with the programm rsteenoven wrote above. Here you will find a tutorial:
http://bricktrick.de/index-wasser.php
To get fire-reflections on the water, you have to render your video with the Fire/Explosions, AFTER that you can load it into Squirlz. Later you can use a mask in Wax again to make it more "trancparent", so it more looks like an reflection on oil or water...

Hope could help you

Thanks!

The fire and explosions are just what I need!

But...
the water-effects guide is not in english.
Is there a english version?

Re: Wax 2.0 and water effects.

You need a zip-software like winzip, winrar, 7zip or somethting like these ones.
And you need the adobe-flashplayer, which is normaly included in every new browser

Than unzip the zipfiles into a folder like you want.
in that folder now you will find a html-file.
open it, and you should see the tutorial.
