Day 24

Day 24


Today Mr. Douglas came to view on our progress and I showed him my impact wave. Overall he liked the idea but also advised me to have some noise in the particles. He also advised me to use metaball as there would be more controls in controlling the particles. Luckily for me, I did the tornado tutrial which had the metaball force he was talking about.

Mr.Ron also came to help every one of us. And he showed me various ways that I could do the wave and also emit particles.

dynamics network

This uses a metaball which then acts as a magnet and it is dropped from above the grid. It then "attracts" points of the grid to it. Basically it is like a ball being dropped in a water. I will definitely test it tomorrow.

another method of emission particles from the wave

the highlighted nodes shows how its done.

This is done by selecting the surface with is above the ground, that means the wave and separating it by deleting and uses source from the pop network to emit from the surface.

For tomorrow I think I will try using Mr.Ron's method of emitting the particles and use the metaball which I learn from the tornado tutorial to add a little swirl to it. Hopefully it works!


Now I'm gonna have dinner on my own, May is having her delicious meal with her family..
