this week we divided our team projects game level into 3 parts so we had a part to model and animate, my part of the project was to do the volcano, mountains and a lava animation for the volcano

for the pain effects you have too:

• window -> general editors -> visor

for it to be able to be an polygon object you have to:

• mesh output -> output quads = ticked -> modify -> convert -> paint effects to polygons

this week I taught myself about emitters, I did use websites to find out how to do certain things with the emitters, it was fairly easy to understand

to make it collide you have to:

• select the emitter and the object you want it to collide with -> Mesh -> there should be an option to collide

this week I continued to modify the emitter and particles and tried to add a colour to the particles, the result was alright but it was my first time using an emitter
