BlackholeSon 0 #27 November 18, 2003 It helps to have some After Effects background too. About three years ago our production staff used After Effects for most 2d compositing and animation. Since the launch of Combustion I haven't looked back, especially with it's integration in Edit. Rendering nested effects directly into a timeline without leaving the editing platform is wicked cool. The Edit/Combustion integration is almost exactly like Discreet Smoke, thier nonlinear HD editing and compositing system. Except 200K cheaper, same keyer and same color correction too. It rocks. The text and particle effects in Combustion are worth it alone. What used to take hours in 3DS Max or even After Effects now takes only a few moments, ahem, plus rendering time. The courseware is like 45 bucks or so. Pick it up, you will love it! ---------- Here's to cheating, stealing, fighting, and drinking. If you cheat, cheat death. If you steal, steal a woman's heart.
