MAYA TUTORIAL Liquid Metal Man, In this video tutorial wee are going to show you basic liquid metal man character in Maya. You will have aware of Liquid metal man if not then watch English movie Terminator 2. Here we are trying to create same character in Maya 2009, so use same version instead of some other and follow the directions. The Maya 2009 contains some new features of nParticles.
This is part 1 and maybe you have to face any problem but in further parts, you will be satisfied. In simple words, we are creating a character model of man turning into liquid metal. The nparticles are new in Maya 2009 and it is typically simulating type affects.
The simple 3d model is already in our drive setting so browse it first and use simulation affect to make it similar like liquid metal. At this time the character is not explaining much detail, so we simulate it now for making useful and according to our scene demand.
Go to window menu and choose outliner. Change the model into wireframe mode. The next step is to go to nParticle system and manage its properties setting at first. The applied setting will be transferred to the model after a few minutes.
Don’t forget to rename the model and its different parts. The rest of setting performed in Maya is shown in following video tutorial.
