Digital Tutors Simulating a Large Dust Storm in Maya

English | Size: 908.31 MB (952,432,643 Bytes)
Category: Tutorial


In this Maya course we will simulate a large dust storm with the help of Maya Fluids. Throughout these lessons we will explore the attributes and an easy to follow method of simulating a computationally large effect. We will be covering in depth and detail the entire process of simulating a dust storm, wind motions and finally turbulence of electric wires attached to poles. By the end of this course you will have improved your knowledge of Maya fluids and have a better understanding for solving tricky simulations. [Read more…]

Digital Tutors – Simulating a Fluid Driven Particle System in Maya
English | Size: 400.5MB
Category: Tutorial


In this course, we’ll be simulating the velocity fields of Maya’s powerful fluid dynamics for the particle system. This course will lead to a new level of understanding and handling of particles in the millions and will take viewers through the impact of energy effects using Maya dynamics. Throughout this course, you will learn two unique methods of simulating an energy effect as well as learn the important shading networks for rendering software render particles of Maya. By the end of this training, you will be ready to simulate your own fluid-driven particle system. Software required: Maya 2015. [Read more…]

Digital Tutors – Simulating Fast Moving Smoke Characters in Maya and NUKE
English | Size: 2.6GB
Category: Tutorial


In this Maya and NUKE tutorial we’ll create a character made out of smoke and energy using Maya Fluids.

We’ll begin by covering the fundamentals of working with fast moving fluids and move on to creating several fluid passes of our motion captured character. We’ll then set up unique render passes which will be used inside of NUKE to create numerous final composites including versions that have thick viscous smoke as well as more wispy, with light and energy emanating from them.
