Process overview

- [Instructor] In this chapter, we're going to look at using a number of more organic, soft body dynamics techniques to create this jellyfish asset. Going to play this back here. And we're going to do this by starting off with a couple base assets that are provided, but doing a very little bit of animation up front, mainly just to animate the top body of this object, which is done with some chops. And then everything else is created via simulation systems. And this is a great way to create organic, beautiful motion for all sorts of different primary or secondary needs, using dynamic systems. We're going to look at finite element solvers, wire solvers and pop solvers, working in concert in different ways to create this final result. So let's dive into making this jellyfish.
