CG Rain Drops
Splashes created in Real Flow, and instanced to Maya Particles. Ripples created with a dynamic fluid texture.
Maya particle instancing with real flow rain drops
Create animated instances geometry at a particle collision. For my raindrop splash, I am using an animated sequence of geometry, created in realflow (70mb). The realflow bin sequence is a single node after it is imported to Maya, it needs to be converted (duplicated) to a sequence of Maya nodes, multiple nodes. Use the following ...
Tracking the position of a particle collision.
Rough guide: Create planes, one above the other, scale to 10 units square, and place in positive unit space. Select the top plan. Make it emit particles: Particles > Emit From Object >options (select “surface” as emitter type). Make particles and ground plane collide. Select the particles, Shift-select the plane, then select Particles > Make ...
3D dynamics
Rigid body dynamics in anaglyph 3D Created in cinema 4D. For dynamics check out this tutorial. For the stereo rig in C4d I read these instructions, but actually just placed two cameras a “little bit” apart, side by side. To composite this render, a stereo pair of left and right camera image sequences, I used ...
