How I made leaves and grass swirl about on a windy day for the Mardini daily challenge.Tutorial explains procedural method for generating chain link fence, simulating wind, swirly particle sims, VEX, and much more.


This year I was fortunate enough to have five wins during the Mardini challenge. I took two 2nd place, three 3rd place wins, and finished in 10th overall. I decided to make breakdown / tutorials of all of these winning entries, as well as some of my other entries that I enjoyed making. Even if they didn't win.

  • 00:12:23 - Fence build
  • 00:46:29 - Ground build
  • 00:52:21 - Grass build and simulation
  • 01:12:38 - Leaf objects build
  • 01:18:28 - Leaves simulation
  • 01:47:55 - Geo breakouts for render
  • 01:49:20 - Lighting
  • 01:50:43 - Camera specs
