When I posted the interview with Colin last week, many of you kindly informed me that it had been a while since my last tutorial. And you were right! At least 3 weeks to be exact. So rather than post another interview I’ve decided to revert back to some good ‘ol fashioned tutorial fun. Enjoy! 
If there’s one thing hollywood loves, it’s muzzle flashes. It lets the viewer know that has gun has been fired and hell is indeed breaking loose.
In fact if you had took a shot everytime you saw one in the Matrix you’d be on the floor before the halfway mark.
One, two, three, floor
The military use flash suppressors to help the soldier remain hidden in night time situations. But where’s the fun in that?

Hope you’ll enjoy it!
In the F-Curve Editor you created a key frame. it wasn´t the i key und you hadn´t said the key. I finally gave up
“…it wasn´t the i key und you hadn´t said the key. I finally gave up”
Wow some people amaze me… you gave up because you couldn’t find a key? Ever heard of google? or manuals? or you know, just figuring it out?
Great tutorial as always, thx.
Ok so I believe i followed the tutorial exactly up until the part where you changed the step size for the muzzle flash to 0.005, but when i render instead of getting a nice flash like you did with white in the middle and noise near the edges, mine looks inverted! Any ideas about what i did wrong? Here is the current render with the problem: http://i935.photobucket.com/albums/ad196/sckman14/help-2.png
Oops forgot to mention im using 2.58 if that makes any difference
To enter a keyframe you duplicate the one on frame two and then move it to the needed spot.

Thanks for sharing these great tutorials. The links to the “starting” Blend file is incorrect / broken. But I found out what it should be. It is the exact same as the “finished” URL except instead of “finished”, replace it with “starting”
great job might. u r real guru. Guru is a Bangla word, do u know that.
The link of the starter doesnt work
