Lose the music in the background. It's very distracting. | | | | |
| | | | the idea was you create 2 identical particle systems that each follow the same null (i showed how to make a 3d particle system follow a null in Ep 7). particle system #1 is the front particles and system #2 is the back particles (as we set up here) and then you just set up the null to move around the layer in 3D space. The rest is automated at this point. | | | | |
| | | | Nice tut! By the way, where can I find the tut with the girl on top of the amp playing guitar? I would like to know how those front and back particles work with a layer, which in your case was the girl.
I saw the episode 7 tut, but didnt see the front and back layering.
