AI.Paint Tutorial: Beasts vs. Romans
by admin on เม.ย..22, 2009, under Maya Tutorial, Tutorial
The AI.paint tool allows you to use Maya’s paint system to organize, create, position and modify large crowds of autonomous characters and other AI items. It is assumed that you are already familiar with basic Maya Paint concepts.
Through AI.paint, groups or layers of characters may be painted on surfaces while aligning with the curvature of the surface. Paint groups or layers allow you to manage and modify regions of your crowd while leaving inactive layers untouched. Layers of characters may then be modified to achieve interesting results quickly. For example a layer of proxy characters may be painted with various settings for crowd density, position, orientation, scale, and group color assignment. AI.paint allows you to paint on autonomous characters, behaviors, and all other AI objects. All AI object attributes can be modified using paint with interactive visual feedback for thousands of characters. The color feedback enables you to see what your characters are doing during the simulation. Perhaps the health of a few hundred characters is in question and needs to be verified. Maybe the first wave of warriors running down a hillside does not look quite right so the velocity of the characters could be painted. With the ability to modify so many attributes easily and interactively many more iterations of tests can be performed for refinement.Additionally, AI.paint gives you the ability to create targeted behaviors for many characters at once. A first painted stroke becomes the source for the behavior and a second stroke the destination. Targeted behavioral motion can be more easily choreographed for many characters at once using this method. You can even use the duplicate AI tool beforehand to copy the logic from a complicated character to a hoard of simple proxy characters generated by paint, then paint-personalize the crowd to transform all of the cloned characters into individuals. The following example demonstrates how easy it is to create, distribute, organize, and personalize characters.
