Markus P. shows how to make a dynamic fern setup using rolling strands in Bifrost.

This new tutorial from Marcus P. covers creating a great-looking fern animation where fronds unfurl in succession. The technique in Bifrost creates secondary strands and rolls them up by sampling a scalar field.

Marcus uses Maximes Bifrost compounds that provide a comprehensive toolset for handling strand data. The tutorial also notes Roland Reyer’s video on how to use fields in Bifrost, which you can find here.
