Maya 2020 fundamentals - modelling the real world
Get halfway through a model and find it's an unworkable mess? Can't add edge loops where you need them? Can't subdivide a mesh properly? If any of this sounds familiar check this course out.

Image will consist of Stonehenge over which will hover some sort of alien spacecraft. Gathered around Stonehenge will be a crowd of Druids, at the center of stonehenge will exist the aforementioned black monolith and kneeling in front of the monolith a single druid. The space craft will be emitting some form of 'beam of knowledge' into the monolith which will then be emitting that beam to all the druids in the scene.
I suspect that this will work better as an animation and so, I will shoot for that.

Here's a first quickie render of the stonehenge model with a small fire.

It's all rather basic right now, the stones are too perfect, the bump is not set up correctly and so it stretches badly. The ground plane still has only the default Lambert shader. The logs (or as my wife described them: cinnamon sticks) look ok, so I'll leave them as they are as I am not planning on getting much closer to them than this.
There is a point light sitting in the middle of the fire, but I would like to decay the light at a point that I decide, is this possible?

Fire is neat, but if you're shooting for the "bonus" aspect of this challenge, remember that it'd need to be a particle effect or a fluid effect (if a fluid or particle pre-set is used, it probably won't really count much toward judging in the end.).
Looking forward to more!

As for the "bonus" that will be taken care of much much later... for now, I want to use 'fire' and 'moonlight' to light the scene as much as possible as, within the context of my concept, these are the only light sources available.
