Simulating Fast-moving Smoke Characters in Maya and NUKE

Learn to create stunning visual effects with this comprehensive Maya and NUKE tutorial! This training focuses on harnessing the power of Maya Fluids to generate a captivating character composed of smoke and energy.

You'll start with a solid understanding of working with fast-moving fluids in Maya, mastering the fundamentals necessary for realistic simulations. The tutorial guides you through the process of generating multiple fluid passes from a motion-captured character, providing flexibility in your final compositing.

Next, we'll delve into setting up unique render passes within NUKE. These passes will be instrumental in crafting a variety of final composites, including variations showcasing both thick, viscous smoke and wispy smoke effects. Discover how to effectively integrate light and energy emanating from the fluid simulations.

By completing this Maya and NUKE training, you'll gain practical skills in manipulating fast-moving fluids and establish a robust, flexible compositing pipeline specifically designed for fluid effects in NUKE.

Software Required: Maya 2015, NUKE 9.

This tutorial is perfect for artists looking to enhance their skills in fluid simulation and compositing for compelling visual effects.
