Experimenting with some Particles

-
Hey Folks,

Apologies for the delays between blog posts, lately its been hard to get a even balance of work and personal time due to having 5 university projects on the go at the same time.

So in between university and free time I decided to have a go at some particle effects using a range of 3D software like Maya Particles, Fume Fx and Krakatoa and then doing some composting in After Effects. It was all quite fun and I really did enjoy fiddling around with settings in After Effects to change how things looked from the original render. Here are some screenshots of what I came up with.

3ds Max FumeFx Tornado
Maya Krakatoa Particles

Maya Particles Sword
Hopefully I'll have some time over the Christmas break to upload some of these in a video format.

I thought I'd share with you the very main three reasons of why I'm here doing what I'm doing with my work and future. So get the coffee or tea, sit back and enjoy the read... So long ago when I was probably about the age of 4 or 5 my mum had gotten me a Super Nintendo Entertainment System with Super Mario World on it.

Anyway, I used to play Super Mario World (1991) on the SNES a lot, and I still never managed to complete Super Mario World, ( but that soundtrack was so awesome). I really need to dig out the console from the attic and play that game again with the cartridge. Super Maro World (1991) on the Super Nintendo Entertainment System From the SNES I moved to over the GameBoy Colour with Pokemo...
