#120

Ah sorry guys, site went down and I have been sooo busy, I’ll mirror them asap.

preparat - im not sure what you mean man, want to post a file or a video?

#121

I’v got them, can post them up on Rapid share or mega video, if Andrew is cool with that?

#122

@Headsmell: TP tutorials urgently needed :slight_smile: The website is still off :frowning:

#123

A big one is coming! Check out my site: http://velevfx.com/

Really looking forward to this Hristo! :thumbsup:

The teaser looks badass, Any chance on mentioning some other topics your gona be Showing?

Cant wait for this!

#125

The goal is to make you proficient in the tools TP gives, and more importantly - in building TP systems. It looks at basic, intermediate and advanced concepts, and how they are implemented in TP, and will be pretty exhaustive. There will also be a second DVD, in a few months hopefully, where the more artistic side will be explored.

:buttrock:

Very cool…

#127

@Glacierise: looks promising! Any ETA?
@Headsmell: Can you upload all existing TP tuts on ur HD to rapidshare? Would be really awesome. A Torrent file would be a good alternative too.

#128

Release date is not gonna be far away and will be announced soon.

Hi,
I’m trying to control with curve, random values assigned to each particles. I remmember this setup in some tutorial. It was setting particle size with Random Op, but with custom curve you could control bias of the random values. eg. majority of higher values from random op range were chosen.

Hope u understand what i’m sayin :slight_smile:

cheers!

#133

valueTOtime op

#134

I’m familiar with valuetotime, but don’t know how to utilize it in this case.

#135

You create a random value per particle, in a range of let’s say 0…1. Now what the value to time setup gives you, is basically the position in the animation of a certain node, for each input value. It’s exactly that animation that you can control in the curve editor to get biases, etc. So the setup is - random-valuetotime-float, with the time output of the VTT linked to the time input of the float. then you tweak the float’s curve, and probably multiply by a max value its output, and there you go. Non-linear animation is a bit of a brainbender, but it’s explained in my DVD, so you might wanna check that out :stuck_out_tongue:

#136

Thanks, it works the way I needed.
It’s true about this VTT mindbender thing…

cheers

#137

I was cleaning up one of my hard drives today and came across the content from Andrew Melnychuk’s website.
I’ve uploaded it all to Rapidshare.
I’m pretty sure it’s everything up until the site went offline.
Most of it is mirrors of the stuff that ULB already posted, but there are a few more things.
Enjoy.

I got unlimited bandwidth recently, so I can host them temporarily, until Andrew reopens his site, if he’s ok with that. Rapidshare blows :slight_smile:

#139

Ok, they are up! There is a new topic in tutorials/thinking particles, the tuts are there. Enjoy!
