Maya - Dynamics Part 6: Surface Emission

here I have used Maya particles to make this can to dissolve away.

Maya - Dynamics Part 3: Omni Emitters

There was a task where I had to make a dynamite stick explode in Maya. I did this with a particle Omni emitter to create the effect of an explosion.

Maya - Dynamics Part 2: NParticles Grids

I was testing and understanding how dynamics in Maya work, for this one I needed to make sweeties be tipped out of a box into a funnel that will lead them into a bottle. I used the Maya NParticles tool but set it to balls to make small round sweetie, but I neede to turbulence Field to make the sweeties fall and scatter naturally into the box and add some settings to the funnel so the sweets land onto it more natural. here is what I came up with:

Maya - Dynamics Part 1: Sketching NParticles

I was testing and understanding how dynamics in Maya work, this one was making a cloud using Mayas NParticles tool. The NParticles can create particles based on what a person wants to use them for, like a dissolve effect on an item or sand run down an hourglass. for me, I used it to make a cloud and use the NParticles settings to give the object a fluffy look to it. here is what I came up with:

Maya - Practice Animation

Maya - Practice Animation

I was given a task to create a quick animation on being really creeped out, so I used the character called Moom to make the animation. here it is.

Maya - Stereo (3D) Camera Rigs

I had to make a special camera that would turn an image and animation into 3D so that when using 3D glasses the image is leaping out.

MAYA - 5 MINUTE POSING CHALLENGE 9

So this week I think I got the general pose, just his shoulder is out of place and a hip adjustment.

MAYA - 5 MINUTE POSING CHALLENGE 8

Ok so I think he is closer to the pose now, his hip neede an adjustment maybe more in and rotated and his leg needed a could be more pointed but other than that he is pretty close.

Maya - Spline IK's

using a combination of IK handle spines and curves for rigging here is the train animation and frog animation
