9:40 Attendance & Article
9:50 Blender – Particle Systems Animations
Particles are lots of items emitted from mesh objects, typically in the thousands. Our new computers will handle particles better, but we have to be patient.
Each particle can be a point of light or a mesh, and be joined or dynamic.
They may react to many different influences and forces, and have the notion of a lifespan.
Dynamic particles can represent fire, smoke, mist, and other things such as dust or magic spells – here is where you can get really creative.
Let’s play with some particles this morning.
10:45 Break (15 Minutes)
11:00 – 12:10 Physics – Room m117
Class meets in room m117 at 11am. Go to class immediately from break. When class is over, you will head to lunch.
12:10 – 12-40 Lunch
12:40 – 1:05 Literacy in Focus
1:05 – 2:05 Particle Systems Challenge
As we saw this morning, working with particles is really interesting. There are thousands of combinations you can choose when you add the particle effect. Hey, we made it rain Monkeys.
This afternoon, I want you to continue to explore the Particle Systems in Blender. Some areas to challenge yourself:
- Trying out different force fields & modifiers
- Try out different particles (maybe hair) and settings
- Adding a color ramp for your particles so they change
- Adding a camera to capture your particle simulation from a variety of views – here is a tutorial (and 1 way to do this)
This is 55 minutes of exploratory time. Stay on task, stay in Blender.
We’ll do a Gallery Walk of your creations.
Render a screenshot and place in Week 22.
