Gnomon Workshop – Houdini: Rigid Body Dynamics Comprehensive Overview (ENG)

English | AVC1 1024×768 | MP3 128 Kbps | 3.22 GB

Houdini’s dynamics system (DOPs) is a very powerful tool that allows users to not only simulate physics, but to interact with the simulation in order to make an impossible looking effects shot look realistic. This is what has made DOPs the dynamics software of choice for high-end feature effects in a very short time. This DVD covers the rigid body dynamics (RBD) features of Houdini, as well as the controls and forces that are common to RBD, cloth and hair systems (though cloth and hair are not covered in this DVD). Houdini?s rigid body dynamics have been used to make characters run through walls (X-Men 3), crumble to pieces (Gatorade commercial), and to make objects on a cruise ship fly around as the ship capsizes (Poseidon). This disc is a comprehensive reference, covering features in great detail through many simplified examples, as well as completed case studies of a bowling ball, dominoes, an exploding building and a crashing train.

Lynda.com – Creating Particle and Fire Effects with Maya | 1.15 GB
Duration: 3h 47m | Video: AVC (.mov) 960×540 15fps 300Kbps | Audio: AAC 48KHz 96Kbps 1ch

In Creating Particle and Fire Effects with Maya, author Aaron F. Ross employs Maya particles and fluids to generate stunning special effects simulations, including exploding fireworks, tumbling snowflakes, and burning flames. Following a project-based approach, the course shows how to emit and render particles, write expressions to control and fine-tune effects, and animate and shade dynamic fluids. Tutorials on batch rendering and compositing in After Effects are also included. Exercise files accompany the course.

Topics include:

* Laying out the scene
* Sketching particles on a Live object
* Connecting particles to Fields such as Gravity
* Emitting particles from particles
* Varying particle shader attributes
* Modeling and shading for the Particle Instancer
* Importing and instancing geometry onto particles
* Randomizing particle rotation with Creation and Runtime Expressions
* Adding Turbulence
* Rendering depth of field with mental ray
* Creating 3D Fluid containers
* Emitting dynamic fluid attributes from an object
* Animating a dynamic fluid
* Using a fluid for atmosphere
* Modulating light intensity with a noise expression
