mini tut ..go on internet find image of butterfly

go to photoshop make workpath around shape and export ai file

open AM new model use ai wizard to get get butterfly shape..use decal included (also ai file..needs tweaking)

...or just make a butterfly if you're talented at modeling...

Create action for butterfly

I then rendered as many frames as I needed for the sample ..60

as a tga sequence

THIS IS THE FIRST CHOR IN PROJECT FILE

make simple model

make sprite material use sequence ( import tga sequence in images) as sprite image

apply material to tranparent simple model

make a few adjustments to limit numbe of butterflies

render ..in this case I went straight to QT

THIS IS SECOND CHOR
