In an attempt to delve into more complex particle simulations and workflows, I took a stab at recreating Iago Mota's particle FX intro for his Youtube Video's. I didn't want to follow his tutorials directly, but instead, I wanted to attempt to replicate the simulation myself. I am fairly proud of the results, but I will be doing more work to further improve this simulation in a near future.
I started by creating three spheres and joining them together with keyframed location, size, and rotation. Then, I used a smoke simulation on the spheres, and instatiated a particles simulation onto that smoke. This is how I got the extraordinarily wispy effect from the particles.
