Thank you so much for your support, Kent and Spikey! This collab is so inspirational!
On taking the animation to blender
@spikeyxxx – you sure do know your way around them nodes! Some of those I have never seen before! Is that a “random integer pacemaker” on the far left? Would you mind sending me a high-rez version on the discord so I can replicate it for creating some wafting in blender?
This might be a good question for tomorrow: If everyone in the scene is working on a looping animation (wafting leaves, water, the tarp) should we agree on a frame number to make it looping? Off the top of my head I’d say 100 frames to have at least one different iteration of movement and counter-movement? In that case all looping animations need to end on frame 101? (I’ve never tried a looping animation before.)
Apart from Spikey’s node setup I can thing of several ways to do the leaf animation in blender:
– a lattice deform, maybe two lattices because one part of the vines are facing the y and the other one the x axis.
– a gentle f-curve modifier with noise on the location and maybe the scale of the alpha-cards.
Could you think of other ways I could approach this?
