Throughout these Maya tutorials we'll look into the process of taking a short animation and enhancing it dramatically with dynamic water and hair.
As our mermaid emerges from the ocean we'll enlist the help of one of Maya`s newest tools, Bifrost, to quickly and easily simulate the water around her to generate a realistic splash. In addition to this we'll also investigate the use of nHair to give her long flowing locks which also animate as she moves.
By the end of this Maya training you’ll understand more key tricks and shortcuts essential to produce a still image or an animated sequence.
