How to make Grass blowing in the wind!

Post by Poptoogi »

Yes, I'm on a particle tutorial bender lately but HEY! Why not? It's one of the coolest tools in Anime Studio so why not show off it's many uses right? Well this is something that I though a lot of people making animations might want to use as it is very subtle but can still ad a lot of life to a static scene. You could use this technique for a lot of other things like crop fields on a farm, flowers, random swinging chains, tree branches, spiderwebs ect..... There really are a ton of uses I can think of when using a few bones and some varied shaking. For this, I used a few bones, a 3 keyframes set to random movement and a particle layer to create a small field of grass. If you've used these tools before it is really simple and if not, watch the video and if you have questions just ask!

Practice random acts of kindness and senseless acts of beauty! Pause, consider, do! I dare you!

Thanks for the tutorial guyver93. It should be possible to use the same technique to create a water surface effect.

Cheers

Would you create a tutorial for a water surface effect, like you might see on a swimming pool?
