Lynda.com - 3ds Max 2011: Particle Effects | ISO | 1.3 GB
Genre: Video Training
In 3ds Max 2011: Particle Effects , Steve Nelle Shows How to create a Wide Variety of Special Effects Including Particle 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. Files accompany the exercise 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
Creating realistic-looking particles using maps
Adding Gravity and Wind
Using Space Warps like Vortex, Motor, and PBomb
Making particles follow a path
Spawning particles
Creating realistic smoke
