Let´s get into Shape for Summer: Basic Techniques, Everyone should know

Hi Friends,

here are the basics on how to create awesome looking shapes/particles.

This is a beginners tutorial, but I just wanted to make sure everyone is successfully using these techniques in their daily workflow.

PS: For my next tutorial I will look for some audio filters, so the audio quality doesn´t suffer when my GPU´s go into intense render-mode.

Best,

Markus
