В этом обучающем DVD от производителя The Gnomon Workshop инструктор
John Clark представляет процесс создания подводной среды и динамического
подводного окружения в Autodesk Maya. Он подробно разбирает процессы
создания морского дна, волнистую поверхность воды, плавающие элементы
композиции и другие особенности создания водной среды.
Description from the official site:In this DVD, John presents the process of creating an underwater effects
shot, thoroughly explaining each step of the process from inception to
completion. Starting with an ocean bottom and a camera move, John shows
how to create underwater atmospheric conditions such as floating
particulate matter, photo-real bubbles, water fog and caustic light
rippling down through a wavy sea surface. John then uses Maya's Dynamics
system to build additional elements into the shot, demonstrating their
use within the shot environment. He shows how to use springs and goals
to create an anchor and dynamic rope dropping to the sea floor, as well
as how to use particle instancing with goals to create dynamic schools
of fish. John then walks you through the final steps to create flowing
sea grass and billowing sand when the sea bottom is disturbed. By the
end of this DVD you will not only have a completed shot ready for
fine-tuning and compositing, you will also have the ability to create
your own fantastic underwater shots.
