Particles

My idea for the particle effects homework was to make a fall tree from the leaf effect and change the colors from green to red and gold. This is what I came up with at first:



It looks kind of like a Minecraft tree, and the falling autumn leaves particle is invisible. In class, after adding a mask to the leaves, moving the autumn leaves to a different layer, and making two layers of the tree trunk so that it would work properly, it looks like this:



I couldn't find how to change the colors of the particles at first so I took a screenshot. You have to go into the particles menu and make sure the last node is selected.

Exploring the ocean in my submarine.

I used a background image from Google for the water and stretched it out so there would be lots of room for the sub to go. The kelp are closest to the foreground, the sub's in the middle and everything else is way in the back. The camera and sub are keyframed to move to the right.

2D composite

My first homework was a 2D composite where Roscoe and I fight a giant praying mantis.

Originally the FIGHT had a fiery texture using the Set Matte operator, but when I opened the file to take a screenshot it wasn't there.
