Dynamics 03 Surface Emission

Posted by IDM under Graphics & Design, Video Training

Any polygonal or NURBS surface can be used as a particle emitter. But the real flexibility lies with NURBS. In this video we look at a variety of techniques which allow for a high level of control over surface emitted particles. Using the ‘Emit from Object’ tool, we focus on texture emission. Various methods for working with and creating the source textures are demonstrated. Example scenes include Crawling Fire, Smoke, Steam, and Erosion.

Dynamics 02 Emit From Object

Posted by IDM under Graphics & Design, Video Training

Particle expressions are a way of using MEL (Maya-Embedded Language) to form and control relationships between particle and object attributes over time. Visual effects animators rely on expressions to create a variety of complex motion and behavior that is impossible to create using other dynamics techniques. This lecture will show you how to tap into the power of expressions by going over the basic types of expressions and how to generate them. In addition, it will introduce you to different methods for creating and utilizing custom particle attributes for maximum effect.

LightWave 3D 8: Get into Spline Modeling [Video Training]
Larry Shultz ‘Get into Spline Modeling” I Have found this training video to be excellent, in it’s demystification of spline modeling in Lightwave. The style of instruction is clear, and never expects the learner to jump through a series of hoops. All the why’s and wherefore’s are fully explained. Highly recomended, very enlightening.
