REFERENCE / INSPIRATION
For my final project for 428 Particles, I plan to emulate the birth of sandman scene from Spider-Man 3 (2007). Mostly I will be focusing on making a sand creature emerging from the sand and being destroyed.
My initial thought on how to create this effect was to use vellum grains, but I think that that initial approach will lead to long cache times, and I think that I can find a more efficient way to create this effect using POPs
