powerful solution to many complex dynamic effects,
however it takes a good deal of time to get comfortable
with the tool. These
DVDs were created to save effects animators countless hours,
by sharing

In the second DVD in this series on
Maya Fluid Effects, effects animator David Schoneveld imparts
a detailed view of the various methods and advanced features
of particle and rigid body control through fluid dynamics.
This multi-faceted lesson takes you through the beginning and
inter- mediate techniques of the Ocean Shader before revealing
how you can create object-avoiding particles without scripting.
The lesson culminates by teaching you how to create particles
driven by fluid dynamics that can interact with an object or
character.
Over 3 hours of lecture.
