Drive forces with custom growth attributes, by using simple and effective methods that are entirely art directable.

EXPLORE COURSE

What You'll Learn

Take your skills to the next level with an in-depth course design

Vellum grains

We start by setting up the grains and optimizing them for simulation. Using a growing attribute we can drive different behaviour for the sand grains

Vectors & forces

Combining different forces like gravity and custom velocity fields we can achieve an organic and interesting motion.

Optimize grains

After we simulate we’ll cover a lot of optimization tricks to render millions of grains in an efficient way.

Nuke compositing

Finally we render everything using the power of Redshift proxies and complete the render by compositing in Nuke.
