Synopsis
Maya Techniques : Flow Workflows will teach you techniques for creating realistic flows. Flows, as in fluid effects and crowd simulations, are the new challenge in CG. In this course, you will see how to use Maya toolset to tackle some of the flow problems by harnessing and guiding of advanced particle systems. the course will demonstrate an advanced use of Maya, mixing nodes, particle systems, shaders and MEL scripts.
