Complex UV Layout in Maya
Over the last couple of years UV layout in Maya has changed for the better. In this course we're going to be taking a look at some of those changes as we UV map an entire character

similar to "dynamics with end position"

So I made this dynamic explosion in Maya 8 and composited it into a still. At the end the resulting smoke turns into a heart shape kinda.

Is there any way to constrain the smoke to a general shape such as a heart, a turbulent field maybe that is keyed to follow the smoke up?

any thoughts?

Whats it made from?

I would make a heart shape and then use that as a goal for wither the fluid or the particles (or both)

Well your using a 3d container, so your using fluids.

You could paint the density at a ciritan point to make the shape, that might work.
