In this tutorial from Blender Made Easy, you’ll learn how to create a satisfying grass growing animation using Dynamic Paint and a particle system in Blender. This video is part of a series exploring dynamic paint surface types, with this episode focusing on weight painting.

Hosted by Stephen Pearson, this tutorial will guide you through:

• Setting up your project: Delete the default cube and add an icosphere with increased subdivisions for better geometry.
• Creating brushes: Add UV spheres as brushes and animate them with noise modifiers for random movement.
• Dynamic paint setup: Configure the icosphere as a canvas and the UV spheres as brushes, then bake the dynamic paint.
• Particle system: Create a hair particle system on the icosphere, using the dynamic paint weight to control the hair length.
• Materials: Design a simple material for the icosphere and a grass material for the particles, using a color ramp for varied shades of green.
• Lighting and compositing: Set up an HDRI for lighting, add a background in the compositor, and include a vignette effect for focus.

By the end of this tutorial, you’ll have created a captivating grass growing animation and gained skills in dynamic paint, particle systems, and materials in Blender.
