3D Animator reacts to Lord of the Rings title sequence

[@pixelspring]

much of this would have been done practical with chaladni plates

[@pixelspring]

could have also welded some extr metal beads on the reverse of the metal plate.. these would naturally become nodes where the sand would slow and attract away from the antinodes

[@PRRonVideos]

Is this sarcasm? If not I need to tell you that this title sequence was not done in a 3D editor, it was done practical.

[@imhaidee]

It was actually done in 3d and live action you should go check out their work they have a full break down they used 3ds max with tyflow and houdini

[@Al1987ac]

I think the point is it could be done in 3D.

[@anglereserve]

It was done using practical and CG elements. Plains of Yonder credits on their site include a Houdini artist along with several compositors.

@@anglereserve Interesting. I bet the black grains were CGI.
