Fire, smoke, energy blasts
and rain are just some of the dynamic effects required by today’s
demanding visual effects industry. More and more, films, television
and video games are using dynamic effects to create a heightened
sense of realism in their projects. Maya’s hardware rendering
technology is a staple of the visual effects industry and allows
artists to create these complex effects without putting stress
on already compressed deadlines. In this DVD you will learn
about the main hardware render types and what kind of effects
they can be used for. Real world examples of how to create
specific effects and integrate them with photographic elements
will show you how hardware renders are used in a production
environment.
