The Particle instanter 1) OVERVIEW PARTICLE INSTANTER THE PARTICLE INSTANTER 1.1) What is particle instanter? Instancing? o An instance is similar to a duplicated object but the difference is, it is not actual object. Let`s say you are in a room surrounded by 100 mirrors. If you lift one leg, many of you in the mirror will lift one leg too. But it doesn`t mean every you in 100 mirrors are "actual" you. o An instance contains no actual surface information, but is just a redrawn version of an original object. The original object acts like a master to all of its instances like you in the mirror room. Instances will be updated as the original is updated on all shading and surface characteristics. o Instances contain less information than duplicates so they can be handled and redrawn faster. Particle Instancing o Particle instancing is the process of using the position and behaviour of particles to control the position and behaviour of instanced geometry. Although some complex results can be obtained using particle instancing, it is important not to interpret it as a full-featured behaviour animation system or flocking system. There are no behavioural relationships between the individual instanced elements. THE PARTICLE INSTANTER 1.2) What we can do with Particle Instanter ?
