Understanding dynamics
- [Instructor] In this video, we get to talk about one of my favorite sections in Particular, and that's the dynamics section. As you can see in the project panel here, I've got a folder that contains three different compositions and each composition is named after a different kind of dynamics that you can apply to the different particle systems in Particular. So I'll double click on the zero one air composition to open it in the timeline and then I'll select the layer that contains the particles and open the effect controls panel. In here, you'll notice this is where I have my physics section and under the physics model dropdown is where I could specify air, balance, or fluid. Now I'll press the space bar to begin playback and you'll see I've got particles that are gently blowing up vertically in the scene. Each different physics model will give you different options. If I open up the air options here, you can see I've got the wind blowing at a value of -47, which means it's blowing…
