Digital Tutors – Rendering RealFlow Meshes in Maya
English | Size: 365 MB
Category: Tutorial


In this course we will learn how to use a variety of lighting and shading tools in mental ray to simulate the appearance of realistic liquid materials. In this series of lessons, we will guide you through the process of using mental ray to realistically render RealFlow geometry within Maya. We will begin this process by learning how to import your mesh sequences from RealFlow into Maya and placing primary illumination sources. From there we will use the mental ray Architectural Materials to create realistic, refractive liquid, and discuss some very important settings to be aware of when using these shaders. Finally, we will create refractive caustic patterns that can add a high level of realism to the final render. Getting the proper look for your final renders will require a lot of troubleshooting and adjustments of many different attributes. Through these lessons, we will address many of these common problems that you will run into and how they can be resolved, allowing you to achieve the desired result in a much sorter amount of time.

Pluralsight – Rendering a RealFlow Ocean in Maya
English | Size: 758.2MB
Category: Tutorial


Learn how to render a RealFlow ocean in Maya for your next project. In this course, Rendering a RealFlow Ocean in Maya, you’ll take an ocean scene from start to finish in a production environment. First, you’ll discover simulation in Realflow, displacement, splash and foam, and rendering in Maya. Next, you’ll explore the RealFlow RenderKit, mental ray, and Arnold in Maya 2016 and 2107. Then, you’ll go through some frequent problems that arise when doing FX in production that will require you to solve and have a workaround.

Category: Tutorial


BRAND NEW! A new standard of excellence has been established with the brand new cmiVFX Realflow training series geared towards the technically inclined independent or resident studio artist. In this series, we will have the chance to work on a conceptually high-end visual effects scene using a plethora of heavily researched techniques to apply a well focused art directed look on a epic, blockbuster quality destruction scenario of a church building. A variety of 3D tools such as FumeFX, Particles and Realflow were used to get the required plan executed with extreme precision while maintaining creative freedom. In this first standalone volume, we will be demonstrating strong rigid and soft body’s simulation tools, as well as its multi-joint control system to create a highly detailed explosion plus destruction of the hero asset due to a simulated rocket hit. In the second standalone volume, there will be an in-depth voyage by means of several particle driven effects accompanied by FumeFx, to create the multiple explosions, debris, dust and impact effects. The techniques used in this series, can be applied to any post production destruction scenario for film and commercial work. Learn step by step, how to create high-end film quality destruction effects using your home PC obtaining assets from the CG programs your already using! The two volumes in this series are being released separately to allow time for the users to collaborate what they have learned with the cmiVFX online community and build their own similar scenes on their own.

Digital tutors Particle Morphing in RealFlow
English | Size: 221 MB
Category: Tutorial


In this course we will learn how to morph liquid particles from one shape to another in RealFlow

In this process, we will learn how to set-up nice and efficient RealFlow scenes and learn how to use daemons like magic, drag force, and age to set-up particle morphing animations. In this exercise, we will go over how to fix different issues and greatly strengthen our problem solving abilities in RealFlow. This series of lessons is really only the first half of the set-up and in the following project, you can learn how to light and render generated liquid meshes. [Read more…]

In this RealFlow and Maya tutorial, we’ll learn the entire pipeline for creating an animated logo bumper.

We’ll start by taking a logo created in Illustrator and create a 3D mesh out of it in Maya. From there, we’ll bring the mesh into RealFlow where we’ll use the Magic daemon with the Dyverso solver to animate a fluid simulation that forms our logo. [Read more…]
