Element 3D Sphere replicator tutorial
In this tutorial we look at the Sphere replicator shape option in Element 3D. The way this works is that the replicator itself is a sphere and depending on the number of instances of a particle you have in a scene, the more filled out the sphere will be.
Here are the different sections covered in this tutorial:
Using the sphere replicator
Adjusting the sphere properties
Adding rotations to particles
Using the particle look random rotation
