Class 1: Introduction and course overview. We look at Maya Particle Dynamics, Maya Fluids Dynamics and Maya Particle-Fluids Integration.
Class 2: In this class, we discuss Fluid/Particle Density and Velocity emission. We understand fluids: voxels, density, velocity, temperature, fuel. Then we explore particles: per-object vs per-particle and particle-velocity, per-particle. We set custom per-particle attributes to drive fluid dynamics. Work with conditional Per-Particle Expressions and Parameter Reference Per-Particle Expressions. Then we set the particles as fluid density and velocity emitters and control a fluid simulation driven with particles.
Class 3: In class 3 we fine tune our Fluid dynamics. We discuss external fields and understand the dynamic fields and their differences when used with Fluids. We use fields to control a fluid simulation. We look at caching particles and fluids and work with retiming the cache. Finally, we well render the fluids.
Class 4: In this class we finish up our fluid project from class 3.
Class 5: Python Writing in Maya. We work with Mel and/or Python and introduce the basic programming concepts. We look at practical code writing.
Class 6: Practical implementation of Python programming in production. We discuss custom tool writing with Python and PyQt.
Class 7: Continuing the exercise of custom tool writing, writing up a GUI for the tool to be used within Maya.
Class 8: Practical high resolution simulation with fluids and particles. We set up the scene and build particles simulations. We discuss fluid particle integration, caching, rendering and compositing.
Class 9: Finish practical high resolution simulation with fluids and particles.
Class 10: We build stylized fluids/particles and show step by step practical approach and implementation.
Warning: Be sure to scan all the downloaded files with your Antivirus and if there is an executable or installer file, make sure to have your antivirus active and open in the background while installing or running the app. Some of the materials posted here are downloaded from CGPeers, So they could potentially have something injected in them.
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 so much! CGP ROCKS!
