Sprites allow you to use an image of
your choice and map it onto the position of a dynamically controlled
particle. Sprites are used throughout the visual effects industry
for such diverse effects as crowd replication, smoke, fire
and cloud volumes. In this lecture you will learn to harness
the power of sprites. Covered topics include; creating sprite
images, smoke and magic effects, as well as a comprehensive “under
the hood” look at the sprite rendering type and all of
its unique attributes. You will also learn how to get the most
out of your sprites by using simple but powerful particle expressions.
