Makes the job easier for our own research and development team to write custom code. Autodesk tools have become an industry-standard which For this film, we relied on Maya as our core tool, used Mudbox for metal bending and MotionBuilder for some motion capture work. Worked on 'Poseidon' with Boyd Shermis, the same VFX supervisor as 'G.I. Leader of a 100-artist crew, MPC VFX Supervisor Greg Butler explained, 'Having already MPC (The Moving Picture Company) (London) - MPC created 168 VFX shots, the majority of which were for an epic underwater action sequence on a giant rock face, the whole created as a digital environment. 'In addition to Maya, we used 3ds Max and the FumeFX plug-in to help create and render both fire and smoke dynamics, MotionBuilder to process motion capture data and Flame for the complex 2_D and 3D compositing.' 'This film is bigger than big, and I literally could not imagine doing a show of this complexity without Maya and Flame,' said CIS VFX Supervisor Bryan Maya is so strong in so many aspects, but the big winner is its openness to being embedded into a pipeline.'ĬIS (Hollywood and Vancouver) - With 265 shots in five sequences for 20 minutes of visual effects, CIS called upon an arsenal of Autodesk tools to help create a variety of work that included hard-surface modeling, digital stunt doubles and virtual environments (GI Joe's HQ, the Sahara Desert, the energy shaft, an underwater obstacle course and a polar ice cap).

Using Maya, we were able to control this massive data load and get the work done. Animation Supervisor Bernd Angerer said, 'The Eiffel Tower was a huge model with extreme detail comprising millions of polygons. Digital Domain relied on Maya as its core animation, modeling, lighting, character scripting and rigging tool, and Mudbox for modeling sketches.

So, I want to have a little cloud of particles flying around a path, but suspended in place - that is, they are supposed to fly together but without straying away to particleland as they tend to do - think of a flock of birds all flying together.Rafael, Calif. I only give this long winded apology because I feel the solution must be a really dumb one and Im just not seeing it. Also, unfortunately at this point in the course we have very limited time for accessing the machines, and I'd rather not spend it tweaking particle parameters and expressions. I'm hoping someone can help me with a really simple particle problem I have.I have searched around for a solution but found nothing.
