Particle motion, simulation, behaviour, and theory are at the core of the FX artist’s skillset. Andrew Lowell is back with a new course that will challenge you with various particle and motion exercises and the construction of a non-human crowd.

Skills gathered will be a strong command of animation and movement. Rotational math, angular calculations, and various other types of environment interaction like distance curves, and speed calculations. The learner will gain an understanding of particle motion and attributes, fuzzy logic and development methodology.
