  how do they animate this?

  Posted by Daniel Rueda on August 1, 2010 at 6:00 pm

  Hello everyone.

  I am trying to animate a bunch of butterflies like they do on this video.

  When the girls fart the butterflies, they have this natural looking movement, that I dont know how to achieve…

  do they use expressions for this?

  I know how to brake down and animate a butterfly, but here there are so many of them and with a natural looking movement…I was thinking about linking a butterfly to a particle (using particular)…I dont know if this can be done…

  anyaway thanks for your responses and guidance

  i think Particular is your best bet to recreate the effect.

  You need to have your butterfly animation within a separate comp on your timeline. In particular you need to pick your particle type as a Sprite, then open the Texture and set the layer to the butterfly comp, time sampling to random loop.

  As for the actual initial wind force – thats up to you to achieve, but i would certainly try experimenting with the air resistance and wind in the physics options.

  good luck

  It also wouldn’t hurt to mess with some of the Air Physics settings like the turbulence fields.
