Fluid dynamics are rapidly becoming a powerful alternative to particle effects. In the first lecture of this series, effects animator David Schoneveld introduces you to the rules of fluid production, showing how Maya Fluid Effects can be used for everything from smoke, dust and explosions, to underwater plane crashes and more. David details the fluid menu, emitter and container attributes, as well as shading and texturing, while conveying an understanding of the dynamic attributes of fluid dynamics and their uses in production. The lesson also details the basics of ponds, emphasizing an understanding of the fluid shader and texture controls.
Topics Covered
* Understanding Dynamic Attributes
* Fluid Emitters
* Fluid Container Attributes
* Menu and Options
* Animation Techniques
* Shading methods

Gnomonology: Ground Explosion

No Comment Articles: Gnomon Workshop

null

This tutorial demonstrates how to generate a volumetric ground
explosion that is software rendered with cloud particles. Through
the use of emitters, particles, fields, collisions, instancing,
expressions, cloud shading, lighting, rendering and compositing,
the effect is generated from scratch.

The Gnomon Workshop - Character Animation: Fundamentals

No Comment Articles: Gnomon Workshop

null

This is Chris’s first lecture in a series on character animation using Maya. In this lecture Chris introduces the basics of feature film style character animation. Starting with the bouncing ball and then moving on to using a character rig, Chris gives you a guided tour of the inner workings of Maya, covering the interface and how to develop good workflow habits. He discusses the basics of acting and emotion and demonstrates how to setup the always challenging walk cycle, from blocking in and smoothing out the animation to refining it by adding attitude and feeling.

The Gnomon Workshop: Character Animation- Acting and Lip Sync

No Comment Articles: Gnomon Workshop

null

This is Chris’s third lecture in a series on character animation using Maya. In this lecture, Chris delves ever deeper into the world of acting and its most important aspect: the character’s internal thought process.
Chris covers the fundamental principles of lip sync and dialogue, from keying the audio track and breaking it down to phrasing and inflection. Building on earlier themes, including dynamic posing, contrast of shape and emotion, line of action and use of negative space, Chris shows you the step-by-step process of bringing a scene to the level of full 3D theatrical animation.
