About Maya Dynamics: Creating Effects With Multiple Solvers
Have you ever wished to create a deadly and powerful tornado? In this course, Maya Dynamics: Creating Effects With Multiple Solvers, you'll learn the various fundamentals and stages of tornado creation and its impacts. First, you'll discover how to get started with basic blocking and structuring of tornado using multiple solver approach. Next, you'll learn how to add realism in your fluid simulations and detailing in particle debris, along with learning various useful mel-expressions and able to control the external fields. Finally, when you're done with simulations and cache, you'll learn the techniques to render out the entire effect using Arnold rendering engine. When you're finished with this course, you'll be ready to show-case the simulation of the various stages and phenomena of a tornado, such as wall-cloud formation, ground-dust, and particle debris. Software required: Maya.
