Fall is coming...

Leaves falling from the tree, leaves blowing in the wind simulation. Autumn is here! I had lots of fun making this I hope you get a lot from it!

I started off making a simple leaf colour change, but soon it got out of hand and ended up being more of a simulation. I wish sometimes I could keep things more simple.

One of the things I struggled with was the leaves actual falling off the tree- or at least appearing that way! I had the ah-ha! moment and it all fell into place!
