Practical application of Maya particles

Creation requirements: In a desert, when the sand is buried by the grains of sand to stand up, the sand will be with its movement, due to the gravitational effect of falling down, coupled with the impact of wind, part of the fall in situ, part of the fall in other places.

Creative thinking: First prepare a scene composed of sand, this uses a surface for the emission of particles, while the transmitter speed of 0, the role is for the next animation preparation, the particle group specified RGBPP, and then specify a particle color channel map to simulate the material of the sand, The emphasis is on how the particles are assigned to each other in relation to the scene and the launch surface and between the protagonists. Through the practice of this tutorial, you will certainly have something to gain.

1. Create a plane, designate as the surface emitter, and set the parameters as shown in the figure.

2. Set the rate animation parameters as shown, to ensure that there is enough sand for the animation behind the preparation, transmitter speed of 0.

3. Make the protagonist's animation, I use a sphere to replace.

4. This is the animation of the sphere.

5. Particle binding gravity.

6. The creation of a green surface is actually a copy of the original emitted particle surface, then specify the material after the transparency set to 1, to ensure that the view is not seen, but it has a very important role, is through the collision of particles, so that the particles even by the gravitational action, not to produce whereabouts, for the surface of the emission particles, I have tried the particle and the launch surface to collide, to prevent the gravity of the particle effect of the fall of the breakdown surface, but the side effect is too large, so the use of this method.

7. This is the basic parameters of the morphology of the particles, the parameters of the particle shape, conserve regulation, we can try it, the life of the particles must be set to live forever.

8. This is the ultimate effect:

Process to do a bit simple, lazy to model, use these things instead of it, the ultimate effect to rely on everyone to properly adjust, I just provide a method, can not expect me to adjust a good result.

Finish the tutorial.
