This project displays a layered approach toward FX implementation. It includes the a basic particle simulation merged with various animations of curves, primary and secondary patterns.
Process
These were created via the following:
The Master Attribute Transfer : This Attribute Transfer sourced the affected area of all the layer with a customizable offset for all the different layer. I added a Turb noise for variation.
3. Curves : These curves were created from the findshortestpath SOP by creating respective start and end groups. The selection area was driven by the Master Attribute Transfer.
4. Geometry : The geometry is created via adjusting pscale of based on Color attribute created via the Master Attribute Transfer, applied on pscale for every polygon.
6. Patterns : The Patterns visibility is sourced out of the Master Attribute Transfer. I used the Resample SOP to create the following subdivisions and creating its copies to add an illusion of detail via the for each loop.
10. Particle Simulation : The Leading edge is created via using a Ramp on the Master Attribute Transfer and scatter particles as a source onto the same.
Following is the final breakdown of all the elements.
