In this training series we will build on the solid foundation gained from Maya Dynamics Level 1 by exploring advanced particle behavior and expanding the use of fluids simulations in our effects. Students will also cover how to use Mayas Nucleus Solver to create optimized simulations connecting cloth nParticles and fluid elements. We will pay close attention to the use of Maya fluids and the possible applications not only as renderable elements but also as forces acting on particles and deformable objects.
MEL Scripting a fundamental area of effects animation will be covered and this will open a new world of possibilities for controlling and adapting simulations. We will learn to use MEL to create dynamic rigs and to help deal with repetitive tasks. As with any course in VFX Learning we will analyze effects sequences from films study them and determine the most cost effective way to achieve similar looks. At the end of this level students will have a broad knowledge of the dynamics engine in Maya and overall FX procedures and techniques.
