Maya's Modules to Control Specific Animation Effects
Maya comes with additional modules to control specific animation effects. Some of these include Maya Fur, Artisan, and PaintFX. This course imparts the knowledge necessary to give animations a little extra touch. Sample effects include how to make vines grow up the side of a building and styling hair on an animal. A portion of the class is spent learning the specifics of how each module works, followed by effective ways to incorporate these add-ons. Efficiently managing the additional processing time required for these effects determines their usability. Several of the modules rely on dynamics to drive physical simulations; therefore basic knowledge of Maya's dynamics is required.
