Surface Advection is a 2 session class that will walk you through generating point normal data by way of advection. This will produce interesting flowing movement fx for use in design work.

Multiple setups will be explored to offer different approaches in producing this effect as well as harnessing the power of Redshift3D instancing.

Classes are taught live and recorded for on-demand access after class is complete.
