Gain hands-on experience with innovative tools and techniques to create realistic smoke, fire, dust, and water. If your animations lack physical realism, this resource is essential. Master the Dynamics engine through engaging exercises that cover both rigid and soft body dynamics, particle animation, emitters, and more. Each chapter includes theoretical discussions to deepen your understanding, complemented by step-by-step tutorials for immediate application. The accompanying DVD-ROM features chapter overviews by Alias Certified Instructors, offering valuable insights and assistance. You'll also benefit from Maya Beginner's Dynamics to kickstart your learning. Key skills you'll develop include creating and animating rigid body objects, utilizing particles with various fields and expressions, rendering particles with different techniques, and dynamically animating NURBS and polygonal surfaces. Additionally, you'll learn to use Artisan functionality alongside Dynamics tools, instance geometry with particle motion, apply dynamic constraints, and troubleshoot your dynamics scenes. To use this resource, you'll need Maya Complete 6, Maya Unlimited 6, or Maya Personal Learning Edition, along with a DVD-ROM drive or set-top player.
