the particle effects can either be animated or static by either distributing the particles from an emitter over time or rendered all at once. these types of particle systems can be described as either being "snowflakes" or "hair", snowflakes being animated and distributed and hair being static and rendered.]]> 2019-01-18 11:31:28 UTC https://padlet.com/Phil_the_Lecturer/kep28jm2ag7d/wish/322067386 https://padlet.com/Phil_the_Lecturer/kep28jm2ag7d/wish/322067500 Special make up effects for various films such as terminator, predator, iron man, Edward scissorhands, aliens and predator. He founded his own company Stan Wilson studios. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ES6BIC4fwaE

He built a reputation as a master creator of robotic/animatronic creatures and prosthetic makeup, well-versed at blending physical effects with computer-generated imagery.

Winston, a frequent collaborator with director james cameron , owned several effects studios, including Stan Winston Digital. The established areas of expertise for Winston were in makeup, puppets and practical effects, but he had recently expanded his studio to encompass digital effects as well.

Originally sprites referred to independent objects that are composited together, by hardware, with other elements such as a background." - Sprites, upon first glance are simplistic, however when scaled correctly and used in combination they can work well, and are still used within productions today, with small objects and or textures. The difference now, is that it is known as a Quad, and has the ability to face the camera at all times, tracking it as it moves.]]> 2019-01-18 11:32:07 UTC https://padlet.com/Phil_the_Lecturer/kep28jm2ag7d/wish/322067521 https://padlet.com/Phil_the_Lecturer/kep28jm2ag7d/wish/322067815 "Sprite. A sprite is a bitmap graphic that is designed to be part of a larger scene. It can either be a static image or an animated graphic. Examples of sprites include objects in 2D video games, icons that are part of an application user interface, and small images published on websites."

They were useful for adding minute details, and populating the setting for the game. In more recent years, the further developed quads have been used for populating games such as need for speed, they take up little power, and are fixed in position, beyond the reach of the player, enabling them to be effective. ]]> 2019-01-18 11:35:53 UTC https://padlet.com/Phil_the_Lecturer/kep28jm2ag7d/wish/322068271 https://padlet.com/Phil_the_Lecturer/kep28jm2ag7d/wish/322068284 2019-01-18 11:35:59 UTC https://padlet.com/Phil_the_Lecturer/kep28jm2ag7d/wish/322068284 https://padlet.com/Phil_the_Lecturer/kep28jm2ag7d/wish/322068911 2019-01-18 11:38:53 UTC https://padlet.com/Phil_the_Lecturer/kep28jm2ag7d/wish/322068911 https://padlet.com/Phil_the_Lecturer/kep28jm2ag7d/wish/322069153 2019-01-18 11:39:49 UTC https://padlet.com/Phil_the_Lecturer/kep28jm2ag7d/wish/322069153 https://padlet.com/Phil_the_Lecturer/kep28jm2ag7d/wish/322069160 John Knoll is currently a visual effects supervisor and the CCO at industrial light & magic, John and his brother Thomas Knoll created photoshop in 1987, they then sold the software to adobe in 1988, Knoll also created Knoll light factory which was a software which generated lens flairs.

The consequence of this distinction is similar to the difference between snowflakes and hair - animated particles are akin to snowflakes, which move around as distinct points in space, and static particles are akin to hair, which consists of a distinct number of curves."]]> 2019-01-18 11:40:36 UTC https://padlet.com/Phil_the_Lecturer/kep28jm2ag7d/wish/322069345 https://padlet.com/Phil_the_Lecturer/kep28jm2ag7d/wish/322069498 John Knoll is currently a visual effects supervisor and the CCO at industrial light & magic, John and his brother Thomas Knoll created photoshop in 1987, they then sold the software to adobe in 1988, Knoll also created Knoll light factory which was a software which generated lens flairs.

They are a common feature in adding a tone of realism, to represent real impact, and effect, via motion etc. It allows for the environment to move around the character, and or object. Group particles are made up of multiple, small scale sprites, that can be overlaid, and to create blur, or as said, to match environmental themes. These systems are not limited to using sprites although in many cases they can do.
