Employ Maya particles and fluids to generate stunning special effects simulations, including exploding fireworks, tumbling snowflakes, and burning flames. Using a project-based approach, Aaron F. Ross shows how to emit and render particles, write expressions to control and fine-tune effects, and animate and shade dynamic fluids. The course also includes tutorials on batch rendering and compositing in After Effects.
Topics include:
• Laying out the scene
• Sketching particles on a Live object
• Connecting particles to Fields such as Gravity
• Emitting particles from particles
• Varying particle shader attributes
• Modeling and shading for the Particle Instancer
• Importing and instancing geometry onto particles
• Randomizing particle rotation with Creation and Runtime Expressions
• Adding Turbulence
• Rendering depth of field with mental ray
• Creating 3D Fluid containers
• Emitting dynamic fluid attributes from an object
• Animating a dynamic fluid
• Using a fluid for atmosphere
• Modulating light intensity with a noise expression
