This DVD illuminates the particulars
of getting the most out of Maya’s Paint Effects. In the
second of a series, Ethan Summers teaches you to tune your
brushes, optimize large-scale scenes, use Paint Effects objects
as particle emitters, and create wind deformations. You’ll
also learn to correct such frequently occurring errors as blown-out
lighting and bad shadows. Finally, Ethan shows you how to integrate
Paint Effects with Pixologic ZBrush and Maya’s Dynamics.
Over 4 hours of lecture.
