Take a journey to another world with Lee Lanier and learn how to animate and render a professional-looking space scene with Maya.
In this course the first in a two-part series Lee provides you with two prebuilt models a spaceship and an asteroid which youll keyframe to create a near-miss meeting in an orbit around an alien planet. Youll also add cameras light your scene and set up render layers and mental ray render passes to give the animation color and depth. Last Lee shows you how to focus the ships laser beam on the asteroid shattering its surface with a dynamic simulation and kicking up clouds of space dust with nParticles and then render your results.
Topics include:
Animating the spaceship and asteroid
Animating cameras to follow the action
Setting key and fill lights
Creating layers for the sun stars and planet
Setting up shadow and lighting layers
Creating mental ray render passes
Exploding geometry in a dynamic simulation
Attaching nParticle emitter to bodies
Batch rendering render layers

We always ask bloggers to scan all the files before publishing the posts, but sometimes it's hard to detect all these things, so if you found anything suspicious (Not false positive, Generic, Patcher, Riskware and Heuristic results, most patches could get false flags like that by some Antivirus companies.) be sure to post comments with the file name and a VirusTotal report result link or the file MD5 Hash (higher than 30% overall positive result). Thank you.
Thank you, Unique!
