Tutorial#1_Particle Book

October 27th, 2006

This tutorial is about a solution found for a TV spot for a telephone company. The customer wanted to show his phone book to riffle its pages fast like an invisible hand its doing it.

So an idea was to do it with particle systems, And so it did. This just one way to do it, maybe there are more.

OK, the first thing was to make two pages animated, one which bend in one corner upwards slow, and the other one the exact move but in reverse and fast.

The second action is to create of course a particle flow system box size with a hight similar to a book, and a deflector, the simple one, large as the particle gismo. Then delete the speed, and rotation operators, add a collision test with the deflector chosen, and a shape instance with the first page picked, the slow one. The deflector has two keys, going up through the pages of the p. system.

Then add a spawn event, which is connected to the collision test and a shape instance with the second page picked.

So the deal is, first the edge of the book is raising due to the animation of the first page, but as the deflector is coming up and collides with every page it finds, the spawn event takes place and the second page is coming out and drops down.

Thats it.

I want to share my passion for visual art wich is my fuel to continue this voyage as far as i can , to learn as much as i can new exciting things every single day, meet new people and talk about amazing new techniques. This would be a place for visual art, visual fx, character animation, ideas, techniques, books, movies everything that makes cg so amazing.

So welcome to my field of dreams and hope to find something inspiring…

…If you want to see a tree

you must go to the valley

If you want to see the valley

you must go to a mountain

If you wat to see the mountain

you must raise to the clouds

…but if you want to see everything…

close your eyes and only think….imagination
