What you'll learn

In this Maya course, we will simulate a large dust storm with the help of Maya Fluids. Throughout these lessons, we will explore the attributes and an easy to follow method of simulating a computationally large effect. We will be covering in depth and detail the entire process of simulating a dust storm, wind motions, and finally turbulence of electric wires attached to poles. By the end of this course, you will have improved your knowledge of Maya fluids and have a better understanding for solving tricky simulations. Software required: Maya 2016.
