I mean those yellow and thin flashes which come out of the machine guns of the plane that follows the other one (second sample video). The yellow flashes are machine gun shots in my opinion.
And I'd like to know how you did them.
To clarify my intention I painted a very high complicated picture

FubaR: The tracers are quite simple. I've got two small but long nurbsplanes with a yellow painted streak and glow. The planes are then instanced by two directional emitters that also have a second smoke emitter attached. When they are renderd I applyed a wave filter in AFX to bend them! Hope that made sense?
Tim_LIVID: I had a look at your ship and I think it looks great! A lot of hard modelling has been put into that! Keep it up! I've always been interested in old ships, so i'll keep an eye on your thread!

Ok, just a small update on whats going on. The ocean layer takes about 40min/frame to render so its probably gonna take a while before I post any major updates... :/ But anyway, here is a still from cut 4:

And here's the reel:

Its a private little project... probably end up on my reel some day but for now it's more of an experiment and you always learn something new when you do this stuff, so its just good fun!

just a couple of small things like at 2:08 there are those white trails coming from the wing...but it looks as if it should fade behind the smoke.
the end sequence where the spit shoots off the wing of the bf-109? and the wing fragment just misses the camera (all looks awsome btw) perhaps the camera could have a bit of a shake at the near-miss moment.
silly question but why are the tracers wriggling around?
great stuff again

*lol* the trace smoke at 2.08, I haven't seen that actually. Nicely spotted! The smoke should fade into the black one... I'll see if I can fix that later!
Yeah, add a bit of camera shake would help.
The trace bullets fly in spiral way from what I've seen... sience they move so fast and when they are captured they look as if they bend... Not too happy with them in the second cut, frame 47-49. So I think I have to edit them a bit.

pbman: Well, I have an idea that you should see one or two Henkels going down in the background and have a few more fighters around them but I save that for the end. About the water crash. It would be cool but I just have a bit too much on my to-do list so if there's time and I have the energy to do that final shoot I will... but just thinking about the amount of particle systems for water and smoke it would require makes me go a bit mad!
Thanks for asking!Not final but from the first cut... I've manualy painted the dust and scratches on the film, 85 frames all fun... :/
