This course will look in the fundamentals of modeling in Maya with an emphasis on creating good topology. It's aimed at people that have some modeling experience in Maya but are having trouble with
complex objects.
heya.
I need to make some proper northern lights (aurora borealis). But I wouldn't know where to begin. Particles? Fluids?
Couldn't find any tutorials on the subject.....
hi....i think you should play around with particles and then give a light a spot light with fog for the feel of that light.just particles may not help....just a suggestion. maybeyou can see the movie the polar express they have northern lights there.....might get some ideas.
i'd make a loft between two squiggly CV curves to form a type of really wide ribbon of mesh, and then let the magic lie in the texture applied... turn up the transparency, and for the color, create a ramp that goes through the rainbow, animate the places where the colors change, etc.
There's a gnomon dvd called Rendering 4, light fog which has some cool effects that might be useful for you. From what I remember, you can map an animated caustic sequence to the colour on a spotlight with lightfog on it.
