Plasma Ball with Paint Effects

The modifiers are amazing, but there is a bit of a puzzle how they really work.
Some in depth tutorial on just modifiers would be excellent, specially how more modifiers work when they overlap.
Tutorial is fantastic.
While changing the lenght of the brush, what is the best way to keep the size of the braches same?
Let's say if you start scaling ball, but trying to keep the same scale of the electricity?

Thanks

Respected sir,
Its time to bring out the best potential of paint effects

make them n-paint effects

awesome tutorial sir
very nice

PaintFX is one of the most unique tools out there. It such a shame it hasn't been updated for so long.
I'd love to be able to use it with MentalRay (converting to polygons is such a drag) or 3rd party renderers.

I agree. Paint effects has always had great potential to be used in most unusual ways. Its simple yet effective. I hope there will be some revamp to the whole paint effects module making it more accessible to other renderers as converting everything to polys can bog a scene down in production.

Yeah, paint effects is such a hidden monster. Waiting on sweet nParticle tutorials. :)

Awesome!!!

Great tutorial Duncan. I think paint effects potential are not fully understood by common users (I mean, me). Trying to do this with particles or soft bodies can be a pain in the ...

Hope you can post other "non-dynamics" tutorials... XD

Thanks a lot!!
