FumeFX Clouds

December 13th, 2012

Anselm

This tutorial shows you how to setup and simulate clouds using FumeFX 3.5.1. To capture the cloud shape Thinkbox Frost(http://www.thinkboxsoftware.com/frost) was used but it will work with Blobmesh or Glu3D’s PWrapper as well should you not have Frost. The clouds are able to interact with objects as well. The video is 40 minutes long in 1280×720 WMV format and the download features the final max file.As a BONUS you get the cloud shapes used in tutorial and in the video below.

Krakatoa and mParticles (Toolbox #2) – Sand Men

May 30th, 2012

Anselm

This tutorial shows you PFlow Simulation and PFlow advanced data manipulation. How to setup a group of characters that are made of sand. Underlying is a Box#2 setup that will allow for breaking the sand men in chunks at a given time or event. KCMs are used to shade and dissolve the sand in variations of the effect. This tutorial is using the Particle Flow Toolbox #3, Thinkbox Krakatoa and Deadline for partitioning multiple layers of particles. (It is recommended to have caching tools like SuperMesher or XMesh). The video is 61 minutes long in 1280×720 WMV format and the download features the beginning and final max file.
