hurray i am the first nice preview
Seriously? Every time? And laughably you aren’t even first to comment most of the time. There is something definitely wrong with you dude.
probably a bot.
wow this is one of the best premium tut ive seen i think! I like the syncing with the music
that looks great James … nice job sir
Very nice tuto
WOW. Mind sharing the source for the audio, it’s also awesome. O:
thanks guys!
the band are called AFI, the track is prelude and the album is called december underground.. and its a fantastic track!, i had to do a fair bit of editing to get it working for the animation. its on itunes.
BTW James, very nice reel.
Sounds like the intro to the long version of Miss Murder by AFI… i might be wrong on that but either way its a great tune!
wish that i had premiun account….
Awesome tutorial. Thank’s a lot.
Very well explained. Cool techniques! Learn something new today! I love these kinds of tutorials. I wish there were more like these. I hope you will do more in the future. Thanks!

looks awsome! it´s time to think about a premium account.
Where did that recent flourish quick tip go?? Kinda disappeared of the site!
pretty cool, but like the tutorial Web of Deceit’ by Dean Velez….
Looks awesome, need to try this one!
What song is that? ive been looking all over for it, Sounds like prelude but it doesn’t have any vocals in this one.
hi robert, yep, its prelude, i edited the track to cut out the vocals.
I’m a premium member and yet this is another tut I can’t access… yet I can download the project files… just not the actual tutorial. Can someone please fix this?? Yes I`m logged in. It just seems to be a bunch of tuts (maybe 6 or 7) which I can’t access…. the rest are fine.
Same as above, premium member here can’t access this tutorial, access others easily, not this one!!!!!!
hay i’m premium member and cant view tutorial redirects to sneak peak????
How to get all of effect I get message from my AF cs4 that 64 effect are missing, any one can help me ?
Thanks
Sweetness! Sounds great too.
like what you did with form here but i think the effect could be just as achievable using a web created in photoshop couldn’t it? maybe even would cut the render time down too… though i guess this is more of a demonstration as to how diverse the plugin really is!
hi ash, thanks for your input, yeah, your absolutely right!
for me, this was the best way, as i am then able to get in really close, macro close, plus get a really nice shallow depth of field from it. also, if i wanted to play around with transitions, i am able to split up the particle strands, put movement into it, the list is endless with what you can do with setting it up this way.
if i was not planning on getting the camera close to the web, for sure, i would have set up the lines in illustrator or photoshop.
Hey James
I just recently became a premium member on tutsplus, and was following your tutorial…
I hit a snag around 7:50 into the tutorial. Whenever I changed the z position on the camera, all of my web strands positions messed up and they were no longer in the right place. This seems to happen if I move anything to do with the zoom or position of the camera. Any ideas why this might be happening?
Cheers,
Lena
Hey James,
Just wondering what did you use to edit the vocals out of the audio track? did you just have a mp3 of the song to begin with?
