In this series of lessons we will learn how Maya and RealFlow can be used together for our projects.

We will begin this course by learning how to import RealFlow meshes into Maya, and we will go step-by-step through the process of adding lights, materials and proper render settings to mimic appearance of realistic glass and liquid materials. From there, we will go deeper into the integration process, learning how to take geometry from Maya into RealFlow, using RealFlow's soft and rigid body dynamics to create moving objects, as well as understanding how scene scale plays a critical role in the behavior of our simulations. We will learn how to cache and re-use RealFlow simulation data and discuss many tips, tricks and techniques that you will be able to use in both the simulation and the rendering stages of your RealFlow projects.

Learn the fundamental workflow for next-gen game development and innovative techniques for seamlessly integrating Maya and XNA for game creation. Contains nearly 5 hours of project-based training for technical artists learning the methods of creating game content using XNA and Maya. Popular highlights include: XNA Development Overview; Interfacing with Keyboard and Gamepad; Building Controller Systems; Controller Vibration; Exporting and Loading Static Meshes from Maya; Exporting Animated Characters from Maya; Moving and Turning a Character; Object-oriented Programming with Bullets and Targets; Baking Textures in Maya; Deriving Bounding Boxes from Maya; Collision Detection with Bounding boxes; Collision Detection with Rays; Building a Custom Animation Player; Switching and Blending Between Animations; Chase Cameras; Camera Shakes; Drawing Text.

In this Maya tutorial, we will learn how to create a creature image based on one camera while learning how to cheat certain details in Photoshop.
