I'd also like the option to choose world direction or emitter direction. Look at this to see why. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iwoqL5gbdCc You can see that the particles are changing the direction of the flow as the bones are rotated. If world direction was possible the the particles would constan...

And now for the reason I even started this... http://www.mediafire.com/?1j42jbwp96c60aa Wanted to see if there was a good way to make blades of grass pass by the camera. If you look at the file you will see that I moved the particle from z -10 to z 10 I reversed the direction from 90 to 270 And I ch...

Working on that grass made me think there had to be a better way. So I worked on a star field. http://www.lostmarble.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=17054 Then I changed the settings and got something that you will need to tweak (obviously), but useful for your grass. http://www.mediafire.com/?1j42jbwp96c...

Particle Effects tweaks

If you read the link below you will see that there are a few extra tasks to make a simple star field effect. http://www.mediafire.com/?er99e3auffma7l7 I'd like to request that the 3 dimensions for the emitter be visible and perhaps different colors like the axis in 3D software. This way it will be e...

Star field

Breaking my leave the computer alone rule for this week. :) I wanted to goof off so I decided to do a star field going towards the camera. Problem 1 The particle effects does not have a way of simply choosing the z axis as a direction. Solution Rotate the particle effects layer on the x axis 90 degr...

I liked it, I can see you put a lot of work into it. There a few things that need to be tweaked but I wanted to offer a solution to the grass for when the woman is running toward the camera. http://www.mediafire.com/?op47z0qbri2r2kx Hopefully you can open version 7 pro. I'm not sure how to save as a...

Hello jacklinjones A few animation tips... One thing I always hear from the professionals is to build a foundation of classical animation studies. This is because technology will always be changing but the root of animation still all comes from knowledge and practice of animating frame by frame in p...

lol parker. If it makes you feel better all the splashes were based off experiments at my apartment pool. I'd record dropping/throwing a ball and water bottle into the water for reference. The first water splash took me 5 hours to do. And I gave up half way through it. The second one took about 2 an...

Thank you, glad you liked it.

I took a little time to clean up my typos and I also added a few more links to animation test and added the gif of some of my water splash studies.

Rice Field Hop the notes

I don't know if this will be helpful or not. I do know I'm not a writer so there are plenty of mistakes. :) These are some rambling notes I took as I work on the Rice Field Hop animation from beginning to end. http://www.vimeo.com/13613633 Started out by drawing in pencil the character, some blades ...
