[@TheFalconking]

When I bring the newton field and press play, the particles fall to the ground instead of getting attracted to the icon. what can be wrong ? thanks.

[@vuongtrinhquoc9241]

thanks, great tutorial

[@AcademicPhoenixPlus]

Thank you for watching!

[@chrisvalentin6644]

Thank you so much Monica🤗 so sweet of you to do this tutorial👍 just one question how to render thise bees out as geometry. I want to bring Them in to Nuke for compositing. 😊

[@AcademicPhoenixPlus]

yes you can! they are considered duplicates of the original geometry so they will render and then comp them in nuke. I'm glad this is helpful! would love to see your final scene when complete!

[@tanisha.mp4]

So useful! Can you do this with low intensity point light sources?

[@AcademicPhoenixPlus]

Unfortunately no, lights can't be used. But you can make geometry 'glow' with emission :)

[@MathiasJ89]

Great butt-flies, thanks :D Can you somehow activate animation on the geometry to for example make their wings flap?

[@AcademicPhoenixPlus]

you can! It's a bigger process, but I'm making a tutorial on it now (it's a bird). Should be out by next week so keep an eye out!

[@zeffraser7885]

How did you model the firefly?

[@DGFA-]

Cool! I made swarm of fireflies but I stock on the glowing material. How to make a randomly (for each particle) flickering glow?

[@AcademicPhoenixPlus]

You can animate the texture, so the glow looks like it's flickering. I have a tutorial on it here. Hopefully it helps! kzbin.info/www/bejne/o3ezdZV3qauMa8k

[@mathewsjoseph5437]

Hi Monica Nice tutorial. How to cache this animation.

[@meiling6584]

Since it is particles, can particles render in Arnold?

[@badydo3501]

Thank you 😊

[@AcademicPhoenixPlus]

You are very welcome Bady Do! I really appreciate your support. :)

[@marksantiago22]

[@gabsinthsky]

You are very welcome Gabriel! Thank you for the comment!

[@prodijay1211]

Can you make them follow an object in real time

[@do_ob1815]

Thanks a bunch, Do you know how to export the animation of every particle individually?

[@michaelc3963]

[@grzeskowebazgroy9845]

I did not understand anything, but I drank a liter of vodka, I'm sorry, I still think your tutorials are affordable and great, even drunk.

[@AcademicPhoenixPlus]

lol! Thanks Grzegorz! I'm glad it was entertaining. :)

[@FamousMaxy]
