Year 2022 - I'm learning X-Particles, starting here and going there, everywhere. And see where that takes me and how I might use it in real work some day.

01

Getting the hang of the basics

02

Speed advection and retiming

03

Trying out some scenery with particles

04

Another particle advection using an explosion as trigger

05

Shifting to spline advection using an explosion as trigger

06

Another go at the spline advection, this time with splines that collide

07

Now some cloth simulation in a scene

08

Another cloth simulation in a more refined scene with a better story

09

Moving on to trails and connections

10

Another go at trails, this time with objects that trigger a new effect

11

Back to particle advection using an explosion as trigger, but this time with some animated noise to match the animation

12

My first go at sound advection, using the Ukranian national antheme as a driver. It's set up so at every high note the ukranian colors dominates and everywhere else the russian colors fill out the blanks.

A more refined scene with splines and particles together
