car and ground collision

Use a car size gird to follow the car
Solver

Week Seven
WHAT I DID
Dust for the Ladybug
WHAT Need TO DO
dirt
Wingparticle
Footparticle_pop
dop network
1.Modify the dirt (particle) emits from the ladybug's feet
(the amount and speed of the dirt looks even,will fix that).
2.Modify the dust
3.Help Candice to do the car dust, especially when the car comes closer to the camera.

Because high detailed geos influence the sim time and RBD (also bullet concave)
Week Five
WAHT I DID
Use color to control grain area
-
Rumbling of the Ground
Solved: Sand particles and Rock drop down and penetrate the ground.
Solution:
1. Subdivide the ground
2. Make sure the collision shape bigger than the objects.
3. Avoid rocks intersect with each other.
4. Modify initial position of the rocks and sand.
Need to do: test reality rocks and sand.
-
Trails
Study the attributes and parameters of Grain and test what I can use in the project.
Need to do: modify the grain area to reduce render time; modify grain attributes.
-
Try to model a ladybug in two days. Just finish 60%, and give up for needing more time on effects..
WHAT NEED TO DO
-
Keep working on rumbling and trial of the ladybag
-
Dust and Debris - Particles
-
Leaf models and shaders - Particles

Week Six
WHAT I DID
RBD ROCK
How to use it? Topology
Ground Rumbling in Camera
Because the ladybug is 0.04 m and the rocks are very small, the rocks are very easy to penetrate the ground. Especially need to make the ground as Deforming object. In the shot 1, it looks only the rocks are shaking. Because I parent the camera and the ground. Hopefully it could make composition easier in this way (the tech students will shake in the camera in Nuke).
Personally don't think this effect is very necessary, for it will cost a lot of time for composition and shader the rocks. But if we keep it, I will do the shader of rocks in week seven
Ground Rumbling (chop)
What need to do
Dust for the ladybug
I will use smoke. If time allows. I will add small debris with particles (just a little bit).
I spent a lot of time to study smoke and particles in week six.

Week Three
This time, we changed the collision position
But I found a "problem piece" after Timmy render out all frames...
