3ds Max 2011: Particle Effects Год выпуска: 2010 Производитель: Lynda.com Сайт производителя: http://www.lynda.com Автор: Steve Nelle Продолжительность: 05:53:50 Тип раздаваемого материала: Видеоклипы Язык: Английский Описание: In 3ds Max 2011: Particle Effects, Steve Nelle shows how to create a wide variety of particle special effects including smoke, water, and explosions. The course provides a detailed explanation of both event and non-event particle systems in 3ds Max, in addition to addressing the importance of a particle's material, the use of Space Warps and Deflectors, and creating fluid effects using MetaParticles. Six start-to-finish projects are also included in the course, which show practical techniques for creating ocean water for underwater scenes, mudslides, and more. Exercise files accompany the course. Topics include:
Controlling particle timing, quantity, and rotation
Comparing particle system types, such as PArray, Super Spray, and more
Using instanced particles to customize a particle's shape
Understanding how to set up a particle flow
Wiring PFlow operators and tests to change particle behavior
