Strife Posted April 28, 2011 Share Posted April 28, 2011 Hi, I am planning to do sand-like particles effect for my school project. I saw some thread/post regarding sand like the one with the walking sand girl. I had this idea where sand particles, forming into sandcastle. Its quite similar to the sequence in SpiderMan 3 when Sandman first form. Is this idea within the manageable range? as I started Houdini about 4 months ago. Will appreciate any advice/tip Thank You Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pclaes Posted April 28, 2011 Share Posted April 28, 2011 I like it! And I think it is manageable too, how much time do you have? That file with the sandgirl will give you pretty much everything you need. Probably it's a good idea to animate your target shapes too. (Kinda like crushing them into base shapes and reverse animating them into an expanding mesh of a tower of a sandcastle). Break the model into different pieces, animate the base shapes and timings first. Sounds like fun! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strife Posted April 29, 2011 Author Share Posted April 29, 2011 Yea, thank you for the tip. I will have about 3 months to work on this project. Oh regarding the sand girl file, I had a slight problem opening it. Its seems weird when I open it as it takes quite long to open. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
