· Complete a series of projects and thoroughly master Maya dynamics
· Learn professional-level techniques undocumented elsewhere
· Tap Newton's Law and Maya's Fields/Newton to make satellites orbit around planets
· Explore fluid dynamics and Maya fluid effects and design a sun
· Combine different simulation systems such as fluid effects, nCloth, and hair to destroy objects
· Create volcanoes, tornadoes, explosions, comets, floods, and more
· Simulate natural phenomena, then twist reality into fascinating results
Description
In the world of animation, the ability to create realistic water, wind, and fire effects is key. Autodesk Maya software includes powerful dynamics tools that have been used to design breathtaking effects for movies, games, commercials, and short films. This professional guide teaches you the primary techniques you need to make the most of Maya's toolkit, so you'll soon be creating water that ripples, gusting winds and gentle breezes, and flickering fires the way Hollywood pros do.
