In this course we're going to use vellum to reveal a logo underneath sand.

We start by setting up the grains and optimizing them for simulation. Using a growing attribute we can drive different behaviour for the sand grains.

Combining different forces like gravity and custom velocity fields we can achieve an organic and interesting motion.

After we simulate we'll cover a lot of optimization tricks to render millions of grains in an efficient way.

Finally we render everything with proxies in redshift and complete the render by compositing in nuke.

I hope you enjoy this course and lets get started!
