In this multi-part, video tutorial about Blender’s Hair Particles System, we will learn some very useful options to use when trying to create cool or convincing hair effects. We will also add colour to the hair, light the scene, add a few compositing nodes, and finally set the particle system as a softbody so we can animate it.

How to Create a Dancing Particle Effect using 3ds Max and Thinking Particles
Nov 15th in 3D Art, Animation, Autodesk 3Ds Max, Particles, Thinking Particles by Cristian PopIn this intermediate level tutorial you will learn how to create an interesting “dancing” particle effect using 3ds Max and Thinking Particles. You also will be able to choreograph the animation to your audio track by creating an animated map using AfterEffects.
Match Your 3d Animation to Live Action Footage using Syntheyes, Cinema 4D, Realflow, and After Effects
Nov 12th in 3D Art, Adobe After Effects, Animation, Maxon Cinema 4D, Particles, RealFlow by Chris Martin3d camera matching is simultaneously one of the most widely used and most elusive to learn CG techniques in both the film and advertising industries today. In this video tutorial, we will discuss a comprehensive method for tracking video footage, and eventually exporting it for use in your 3d package of choice.
Create Awesome Cloth Simulations using nDynamics in Maya
Nov 11th in 3D Art, Animation, Autodesk Maya, Particles by Alan MonroigDynamics simulations can be a powerful tool when trying to generate realistic looking effects that would be very difficult to achieve manually. In this tutorial you will learn how to use nDynamics’ passive colliders and ncloth objects, in conjunction with fields like air and gravity, to easily simulate realistic dynamic objects such as a windy flag or a water container.
