Using PFlow particles to write ink on paper
In this set of videos, you will see how to use PFlow to write on paper from an animated pencil. In order to show the flexibility of this system, i will show you how to create a Spirograph and use the resulting pencil animation to draw on paper. Then, to challenge this system a bit, you'll see how to animate the paper using the cloth modifier and have the ink slowly dry on the paper as the paper is animated.
Creating Custom Object Properties
Creating custom properties for 3D objects allows you to define meta data that can be part of the object but is not necessarily related to its 3D definition. This workflow is great for games assets but has also many applications in many industries. In this set of video tutorials, i cover 2 techniques for adding meta data (or custom properties) to objects. And, for both techniques, i show you the user interface and the scritped methods.
