Professional Series: Particle Integration with ICE and Lagoa in Softimage
In this high-level tutorial, we will learn how to handle data between ICE clouds and get around many common issues in ICE and Lagoa. Software required: Softimage 2011 SAP and up.
What you'll learn
In this high-level tutorial, we will learn how to handle data between ICE clouds and get around many common issues in ICE and Lagoa. The objectives for this fast-pace, intensive course include successfully transferring data between two ICE trees, create custom particle effects, and understand how data flows in Softimage. By the end of this training, you will have the ability to solve these types of ICE problems in your own projects. Before following along with this tutorial, you should have experience using Softimage and ICE as we cover what would normally take hours to accomplish in a shorter span of time. If you are an artist new to Softimage, ICE or Lagoa, we have several courses to get you started. Software required: Softimage 2011 SAP and up.
