Dynamic animation uses rules of physics to simulate natural forces. You specify the actions you want the object to take, then let the software figure out how to animate the object.  Dynamic animation lets you create realistic motion that’s hard to achieve with traditional keyframe animation. For instance, you can make effects such as tumbling dice, waving flags, and exploding fireworks. Dynamics overview 1.1) What we can do with Maya Dynamics ? Create, color, and animate particles. Soft bodies(bends, deforms) Emitters: stea , fire, rai , … Gravity and other force fields Dynamics overview 1.1) What we can do with Maya Dynamics ? Particle collisions(split, emit new particles, or disappear) Springs: a deformable spring Goals(make particles or soft bodies ) Rigid bodies (collisions between polygons or NURBS) Dynamics overview 1.1) What we can do with Maya Dynamics ? Rigid body constraints ( restrict the motion of rigid bodies) Animating Effects s oke, fire, … Particle caching (Store dynamic simulations either to disk ) Dynamics overview 1.1) What we can do with Maya Dynamics ? Relationship editor Instance(advanced features ) Render (software or hardware) Introduces Maya Dynamics 1) DYNAMICS OVERVIEW 1.1) What we can do with Maya Dynamics ? 1.2) Architecture and Features. 1.3) What will we learn in this topic ? Dynamics overview 1.2.1) Maya Architecture Nodes Attributes Connections Transforms & Shapes Dynamics overview 1.2.2) Dynamic Architecture           Particles.

Number of Particles: number of particles you want to create per mouse click. Maximum Radius: distribute particles randomly in a spherical region where you click. Sketch Particles: drag the mouse to sketch a continuous stream of particles. Sketch Interval: pixel spacing between particles. Create Particle Grid: Creates a particle grid. Particle Spacing: spacing in the grid. Placement: volume with your cursor, or with text fields. Minimum Corner: lower left corner of the 3D particle grid. Maximum Corner: upper right corner of the 3D particle grid. 1 2 3 3 4 5 4 6 7 8 9 10 5 6 7 8 11 9 10 11 Getting started with Particle Tool 2.3) Create particle / Number 1 2 3 Getting started with Particle Tool 2.3) Create particle / 4 Press Enter 3 1 2 Getting started with Particle Tool 2.4) Name and Type Particles 1 2 Getting started with Particle Tool 2.5) Add Material 3 2 4 1 Getting started with Particle Tool 2.6) Management with Outline 2 3 1 Getting started with Particle Tool 2.7) Additional functions for Particle 2 1 3 Getting started with Particle Tool 2.7) Additional functions for Particle 2 1 3 Getting started with Particle Tool 2.8) Play and Render View 1 2 Thanks!
