Particle Systems

Todays Animation lecture with Andy was really cool. He showed us two short films from a OneDotZero dvd, which demonstrated the complex and various ways of using particle systems.

Last year during the Christmas holiday and then again at the beginning of the year just before term 2 started, I had been playing around with Particle Systems to create a SMOKE and Dripping Water effect - the latter didn't look very good in the end so I didn't post it.
I had a lot of fun modeling and creating the smoke effect and it wasn't as complicated as I had initially thought it was.

So now that I've got this (very cool) worksheet from Andy, I am going to go through the Particle Systems in 3ds Max to show my basic understanding and post my results...

Bulwell Academy Documentary Short

I found this on Danny Peachey's Blog and I wanted to share it via my blog because in Virtual Environments we are modeling block A and B of the building. (Renders will be posted this week). I like this documentary; the cuts are pretty good and it gets straight to the point only complaint is that it felt a bit long though.
