leaves

I decided, that as everyone will be doing rain as one of the three dynamics, i want to be different. Using the Instancer (replacement) tool, i can replace the particles with objects. I happily decided that i want leaves.
First i needed to model a leaf. I did this in Maya and it doesn't look that good. But this was a rough/practice run.

So the first particle emitter i made, i didn't change the speed of the particles. I'm pretty sure that leaves would knock people out, at the speed i had them going. After using the Instancer tool on the emitter, i couldn't change the speed after. To remedy this, i made another volume emitter for the leaves that fell at a less hazardous rate.

I really like my idea of the leaves gently falling on the scene, as it will make it look kinda peaceful. I suppose my pirate camp is becoming less 'piratey' by the minute.
