Blobs and Jet Packs

For the last couple parts of the tutorial, I went about adding a blob shadow and pretty jet pack effects. The blob shadow was added kind of like a spotlight above the character, appearing underneath him after I removed the part where he receives the shadow himself. It now helps show exactly where he will land when he, for example, jumps.

Secondly, he received some awesome animation on his little jet pack thrusters. I added a couple directional particle emitters under the jets, as well as a light. They only appear after he jumps, as he reaches max height and floats down. It looks pretty sweet.
