Blender's Particle System

[MasterZ96]

what is the system you use

[SijujiS]

in my case is just a glowing pile of undefinable particle :/

[GreenSheild]

OMG Bro ! Could you make one for me like Next Entertainment or GreenStream Entertainment! That would be awsome bro!! let me know take care man!

[BMAnnArbor]

@GreenSheild I can...

[austrian5]

THIS IS SPARTA!!! :D

[JayDetoX]

I made some text in Blender and I want to use it in a sony vegas video I'm making. Can someone plz tell me how to do this??

[TPSEstudiosHH]

could you make a tutorial??

[BIackVayne]

i'm a noob, so bare with me...where can I download this program from?

[BMAnnArbor]

@BIackVayne Blender.org

[55vadamee]

Well done mate!

[BadMindfilms]

Nice, looks great!!

[mat5637]

how to add a backwardsin a video?

[BMAnnArbor]

@mat5637 Render normally and reverse in vegas or something

[souzak99]

It takes a little too much time for the words to form, but it's a great affect!!! :)

[SNESIvan]

How do you convert the text into a mesh?

[BMAnnArbor]

@SNESIvan alt C then select "convert curve/text/meta to mesh"

[JONIMASAKIS]

shrek!

[MrHaroto]

where exactly do you located these "particle systems" at in blender? Or do you have to diy?

[ErrorrPerfect]

That would have blew my mind AND made my day if that said "This is Sparta"

[slavery100]

how do u render backwards?

[mastergandeolee]

can you make us a custom video of how to make it pls... we need it... pls.. make a video tutorials.. using blender file... pls..

[kryps1]

This sample is 12 seconds too long.

[MrLegoCloneCommander]

omg thats really awesome!

could you please make a tut on how to make that?

[beachbabe123100]

how did you make this?? :O

[lx45803]

@beachbabe123100

This is really easy, because the video is reversed.

First create a Text and convert it into a mesh with some thickness, then parent a sphere or a cube, or what ever you want to use as a particle and select DupliVerts. Next add a particle system to the text and

adjust the settings as you want it. Importend is that you deselect mesh and select unborn! within the particle settings.

The next thing is do render it backwards. thats it

[anthoney987654321]

please please please please make a tutorial on this, or link me to one ?? i really need to do something like this for my graphocs project

[Logichy]

When i choose Halo, my text gets invisible even i set the particles to start at frame 10

What am i gonna do?!

[pixeljuice666]

Find it? Blender is free :)

[ProduccionesLeoSan]

were can i find it?

or anybody can sendit to me

PLEASE!

[ProduccionesLeoSan]

the link its notworking anymore!!

[xGodlyDoogie]

how can you do things like this, it never lets me do this kind of thing

is there any tutorials you used ?

[CHEYENNE117]

OK THAT'S ALL WELL AND GOOD BUT HOW THE HELL DO YOU MAKE IT GO IN REVERSE

srry for caps

[TheAcromarts94]

The hardness' slider adjusts the sharpness of your particles. Make sure to have a good value, max value isn't bad actually. now next to those sliders, there are some buttons. Click The 'rings' button to get a 'ring' effect like in this video, you will not get a ring effect by choosing 'visualization: rings' in the particle menu.

Alright, I hope this works for you guys! Hope Colezero won't kill me for posting this small explanation :P

Srry for Capital words, But they're Important :P

Laterz!

[TheAcromarts94]

very quickly: Make a text, select it in object mode, press Alt+ C and click 'convert to mesh' then add a particle system, specify your settings as wanted for the particle MOVEMENT, then go to the materials tab, pick a color, and in 'Render Pipeline' click 'Halo'. now go to the Shaders menu' next to Mirror Transp' and there, You will see some Halo settings. the Halo size has to be LOWERED, otherwise your text looks like one big block of light.

[Crysis97]

How did you make the particle system?

Thank You!! ;)

[Rhazgulz]

Tutorial would be nice :)

[Jem30191]

implotion?! lol how the..?! Nice!

[UltimateMusicMaker]

How did u get particles go to that text, did u reverse or use reactor or what? 5/5

[dfhohj]

My guess is that it was reversed

[BMAnnArbor]

@UltimateMusicMaker It's reversed, but you could probably do it using keyed. Also, reactor wouldn't work at all for this.

[Hellmholtz]

How did you created that kind of material for particles??

[UltimateMusicMaker]

change particle type from point to ring

[cssloverboy]

Tutorial? :)

[xSwiissSkiillz]

You have to program this, or its an effect like "exploding particles" or something.

[compufreak7]

Rofl I thought it said 'This is Sparta!'

[waggabiggadoo]

FUCK YEAH

[Zarnik]

you played the video backwards right?

[chellydawg2002]

wich program does this?

[VicViper26]

It's called Blender. It's a free 3D modeling and animation program.

[farflungfloyd]

Did you do the particles exploding from the text and play it backwards?

[PurpleDinoGlitching]

it is way to long. but it looks great

[MouthofSaurons]

You have chosen Microsoft Sam as the computers default voice.

[minhphuc3us]

salvation, I like your work is what you can have your tutorial on this effect?

[cerwinthedoc]

rofl on the guy below me

lol

[raretrick]

this is a comment

[LitalienJoey]

ROFL

[GlueTube101]

x'D

[tekken138isback]

lol what a killer comment

[MrTekken138]

@raretrick hahah XD

[ccasander]

nice idea great work, but its a little bit to long

[designerskate]

Really nice i really like the idea... ^o^

Nice material for the particles too *thumbs up*

5/5

[Emmy101101]

wow plz tell me hw!

[l102212]

Very nice. I guess you converted the text to a mesh and set that as a particle emitter and then played the animation backwards?

[ColeZero]

Exactly. This was done with the old particle system within blender ( < 2.46) The new one is much better to archive such effects.

[KING20007009]

@l102212 You forgot to mention the visibility track :D

[Sowldred]

@l102212 Wait. How do you convert text object to mesh?

[l102212]

@Sowldred I think it was this: select the object, hit alt+c and select convert to mesh. Not entirely sure though.

[akirameru2]

damn its so niceeeee

[FunnyMoviesR4Me]

So cool! I also found this other animation, Plythora Particle Animation (maybe by the same guy?)

You should check it out!

God Bless

[sayfaylo]

ahhhh...that is sick...all from Blender huh?

[Bosf10]

PLEASE UPLOAD A BLEND FILE AND MAKE A TUTORIAL!Its best particle short of i ever seen.Thank you very much for doing tutorial.

[SeriousIlya]

You should use that effect as the intro for your company or something :D

really reminds me of those. Nice particles!

Like it how it glows & stuff nice work

[Fesumien]

O_O sweet!! how'd you make it though?

[Cheazno]

lol same as roeas29 but wow lol

[roeas29]

Lol... all the particles were forming and I couldn't quite make out everything except "THIS IS..." and I thought, "Wow, this is dramatic!" and then it all came together and all it said was "THIS IS A SAMPLE".

But still cool.

[bruhe]

it should have said "Be sure to drink your ovaltine" guess the reference? :)

[ace24ace1224]

You have got to make a tut. on this. Great Job. your description is kind of hard to understand.

[44delta]

very nice indeed

[AkoyPinoy2]

Render backwards? Is that possible? I would think you rendered it normal and reversed it afterward.

[bioter]

wow

[attacker0100]

i didnt know that the video is reversed, thx

[attacker0100]

how did u create it?

dont know how to use particels with text oder images

[ColeZero]

This is really easy, because the video is reversed.

First create a Text and convert it into a mesh with some thickness, then parent a sphere or a cube, or what ever you want to use as a particle and select DupliVerts. Next add a particle system to the text and

adjust the settings as you want it. Importend is that you deselect mesh and select unborn! within the particle settings.

The next thing is do render it backwards. thats it

[MehMeh5000]

I think you can just reverse the time IPO for the particles to get similar effect, but interesting test nevertheless.

[AkoyPinoy2]

Did you have it such that the first frame is after last frame?

[MehMeh5000]

Just set the Y value for the first point in Time IPO(you might have to create it first)higher than the end point(set the end point Y value to zero) and it'll play in reverse.

You can use it to create cool slowdown effects as well.

[TheMorMor]

That is really cool. shame that youtubes compression fucks it up.

[ur8p2]

great! verry Beautiful.
