We will begin this course by learning how to import RealFlow meshes into
Maya, and we will go step-by-step through the process of adding lights,
materials and proper render settings to mimic appearance of realistic
glass and liquid materials. From there, we will go deeper into the
integration process, learning how to take geometry from Maya into
RealFlow, using RealFlow's soft and rigid body dynamics to create moving
objects, as well as understanding how scene scale plays a critical role
in the behavior of our simulations. We will learn how to cache and
re-use RealFlow simulation data and discuss many tips, tricks and
techniques that you will be able to use in both the simulation and the
rendering stages of your RealFlow projects.
