Hey what kind of software do you use to do your special effects and editing, I know you have 3ds Max and the gun flashes look like Combustion but what else do you use?

Yes. Sam.... I use Vegas Pro from Sony Creative software, and Particle Illusion. FXhome is good too. You also might want to look at 3DS MAX. This program is amazing, and I am moving more and more to using that for everything. :) Enjoy!

Oh, I envy you, I don't have any professional video software, all I have is pinnacle studio 9.4, blech!!! It doesn't even do HD!!! Of course I don't have an HD camera so it doesn't matter. I did recently move up from trueSpace to 3ds Max (and combustion and cleaner) but I don't have any money left for more editing power.

You should try voodoo, (if you have not already) it's a free match moving program that works quite well for it's price tag. Do you ever use the stuff from detonation films?

Do you use FX home or Combustion?

EDIT: Oh, I did get to use FCP in a video class and on a freelance I did, that is one amazing program!

Wax 2.0e from debugmode.com is the best program I know (It even has particles!). It's a little harder to get going (But not as bad as blender3D), but it's worth the, FREE DOWNLOAD! If you have wax, lsmaker, and anim8or then your good to go. I even made this using anim8or and wax

And using Wondertouch's free ShowIEL, and wax, this:

And once you add particles included in wax, Walla! Ghost rider. And the best part is theres no programming needed, it just takes time to get use to it.

Yeah. Those are great programs. I plan to have them available for download on my upcoming website, as well as a few tutorials. :D
