Clown fish school

Add the clown fish school

  1. Place the clown fish near to the cliff face. This will be behind the user.

  2. On the timeline, extend the container for the clown fish to be the same length as the container for the recording.

  3. Select the cog for the clown fish container.

  4. On the Current Effect Options page, in the FISH SCHOOL section, select Create a Fish School.

  5. Set Fish Quantity to 7, Fish Scale (Min) to 0.5, and Fish Scale (Max) to 2.

  6. Select SAVE EFFECT.

Animate the school of clown fish

We’ll have the school of clown fish appear from behind the user, and then swim off into the distance. When you animate a school of fish, you animate the center target that the fish swim around. This provides a lot of leeway in how you animate their motion.

  1. Move the playhead forward a few seconds, move the clown fish IFX in front of the user's position, and then create a new key. This ensures that they fish quickly come into view.

  2. Move the playhead approximately halfway along the clown fish IFX container, move the clown fish IFX behind the recorded avatar, and then create a new key. This ensures that the clown fish are visible for most of the recording.

  3. Move the playhead to the end of the clown fish IFX container, move the close fish IFX into the distance until it is obscured by the fog, and then create a new key. The fish will swim towards this point and hopefully fade into the murky distance before they disappear from the timeline.

Add a fade out

To help the clown fish appear to disappear into the murky water, complete the following steps:

  1. On the timeline, select the cog for the clown fish container.

  2. On the Current Effect Options page, select Fade Out until Fade Out (1s) is displayed.
