Jace
Yeah, definitely.
Could you take one of the animations, maybe the explosion or something, and, I don't know, just show what it's like to modify it?
Yeah, sure.
You can
Simon
do that.
I'm just going to do this.
Whoops.
Boom.
Does it work now?
Yes.
We can change the color maybe on the flames.
Okay, okay, okay.
Can I do this?
I'm going to do this.
Shit.
Shit.
Okay, I can move now.
Where is it?
Okay, can you see this now?
Jace
Yeah,
Simon
yeah.
So let's change the colors.
So I have a color parameter here for the smoke, for example.
You have the colors.
If I would change this to blue, you see the blue smoke blue.
So you can you can like you can tweak all this stuff.
You can change so many things, like size by life.
I usually have it start smaller and grow up, and then it will fade away as well.
You have this graph down here where you can set keyframes.
Jace
Can you just make the graph weird?
Yes.
Make it go bigger than smaller than bigger.
Simon
Okay.
We can do it on the smoke.
I think it's easier to see because it's...
Okay.
Do I have a size by life?
I have one right here.
I just have
to do this first.
Simon
Let's bring it up to the graph and we can see it right here.
So now it's just a linear thing, right?
Just grows.
Yeah.
So let's do it.
Fuck.
I can't.
It's so small.
I can't see anything.
Jace
It is.
What's this?
Simon
No comment.
Jace
It's perfect.
It's perfect.
Simon
I hope it will allow me to see this or I'm going to get exposed again.
Jace
Boom,
Simon
beautiful.
Jace
Like this?
Oh, this is going to be beautiful.
Simon
I'm fucking saving this.
Commit this.
Put this in the patch
Jace
notes.
Simon
