Review
Maya Fluids offer a powerful solution to many complex dynamic effects, however it takes a good deal of time to get comfortable with the tool. These DVDs were created to save effects animators countless hours, by sharing David Schoneveld’s proven techniques. –Alex Alvarez – Director, Gnomon

In the second DVD in this series on Maya Fluid Effects, effects animator David Schoneveld imparts a detailed view of the various methods and advanced features of particle and rigid body control through fluid dynamics. This multi-faceted lesson takes you through the beginning and inter- mediate techniques of the Ocean Shader before revealing how you can create object-avoiding particles without scripting. The lesson culminates by teaching you how to create particles driven by fluid dynamics that can interact with an object or character.
