- 1) Create morph targets using single point polygons in modeler.
- 2) Create the wick as a seperate object so it can move in to the dynamite
- stick (to simulate it shrinking)..you could also use the stretch feature
- in layout i guess.
- 4) use particle blur to simulate the streaks..some flares too..you might
- need medium aliasing for particle blur to work...
-
- 5) sparks might not have worked for this project..because particles do not
- blur
- correctly when using sparks plugin..so i hear..anyone wiht sparks confirm
- this? if i remember correctly it has been noted by allen already...and
- will work correctly with sparks on the next revision...so if you have
- sparks and you can't get the particles to blur..this is why.
