Neither knew about the spawning from instance nor the trails. Thank you Midge!

Another great video. Honestly was having trouble with particles and your micro displacement video already helped a ton!

[JohnSmith-rnvl]

The blender 2.8 build releasing today or tomorrow (27th/may/2019) apparently increases particle simulation from what would be a 31 second wait down to 3 seconds. In case you were interested.

2:10 there is another option: there is a separate “Rotation” panel in the particle settings; click the checkbox to enable this, then you can choose, say, “Object X” or “Object Y” for the “Initial Orientation”, instead of the default “Velocity/Hair”.

31:47 be careful with those two steps numbers. They are powers of 2, so each step up is doubling the amount of computation.

The first one you changed is used for rendering, the second one is used for display preview. Note also the “B-Spline” checkbox next to the first one: this gives you smoother rendered curves, which means you don’t need to set the steps value quite as high.

I've been frantically downloading all his series video but I always let him say his intro cause he makes it sound awesome =]

[peterkeis]

That was absolutely amazing stuff. Thank you very much 👏

[lawrencedoliveiro]

I learned quite a few new things. Thumbs up!

09:00 what sorcery did you use to toggle the outputs like that? I also have the node wrangler add-on enabled...

Hi how are you? I love the introduction, would you have the blender project to share?

[mbst]

Seems like Blender 2.8 does not treat particles as object instances. For me "random" seems to yield always the same value for all cubes.

[Gidowan]

wow particles of particles of particles is sOoo cool. Thx.

When using the particle instance modifier it seems that unless I create my emitter and my particle object right on top of each other, the instanced object is spatially offset from the actual particles. Is there a trick to instancing an object which is far away in 3D space?

[ianhamlett]

24:00 Anyone know if this particles from particles business still works the same in 2.8?
I’m on the first release candidate build and my object with the particle instance modifier on just emits copies of itself.

Also, thanks midge. This channel has been a godsend.

[johnmevis]

Thanks for tutor a lot) It' so sweet) what theme for blender do you user?

[wej]

dude, the little clip in the beginning looks so amazing! is there a chance you can give a tutorial on it or have you made one already?

[vasfigumus]

Why would you call this series weird shit, it is real shit which can be used in real sci-fi projects which are dominant in CG world. They can be even inspiring for more than sci-fi. Thanks for sharing the knowledge.
