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.

dust in the air effect

hello. i'm trying to make a scene with the dust in the air. i followed these instructions: "make a spot light, then attach fog to it. In the fog's properties, map a 3D fractal node to the density." but that doesn't work. i'm using vray for maya and tried to do this with vray rect light. got no errors, but no effect too. then i tried to do the same with simple spot light, and got error message "Warning: Unsupported texture kLightFogMaterial". no effect also.

Well it doesn't seem to be supported. I'm sure Vray has a native node that can do the same thing.
