Required Software: RealFlow 5 and up


In this series of lessons we'll learn how to use various daemons together to morph one object into another in realflow. Using daemons like noise, drag, dspline and magic together we can create interesting effects quickly.

We'll begin this project by importing our geometry into RealFlow and creating our initial emitter. We'll then add some random motion using a noise field daemon. To get a squashing effect, we'll use a Dspline daemon to pull all our particles into a line. Finally, we'll use the magic daemon to make our particle cloud form our second word. Our job is not done since we need to animate these daemons to work together in a specific sequence.

Once our particles are moving nicely, we'll take a look at some meshing challenges and see how to use a drag daemon to fix certain issues. We'll finish by taking our mesh into Maya and creating the shader and render setup to output our final images.
