Working with non-polygonal assets such as smoke, fire, water, fog is very intimidating. This tutorial is not about their creation and animation but about the lighting, shading and compositing of the methods available with Maya and V-Ray: fog effects with the V_ray_environment_fog, dust with Maya’s nParticles, smoke and fire effects with Maya’s fluids, water and liquids with Maya’s bifrost, Houdini’s effects exported to Maya with the openVDB format. The main highlights are motion blur, depth of field simulations and the proper rendering and compositing of their render elements in Nuke.

VR027 - underwater_volumetrics_caustics
Simulating glass and transparent materials cam be intimidating, particularly when it comes to create the envelope of light rays called caustics. The major bullet points are: glass versus plexiglass, neutral versus tinted glass, thick versus thin glass, glass with gold inserts and more !

VR019 - vr_compositing_pt1
Rendering with render elements (AOVs) is a standard procedure in production, it allows massive changes during compositing and spare multiple rendering iterations.
We will deconstruct our final look into render elements and re-assemble them in Nuke. Consider this tutorial as an introduction to com... -
VR004 - vr_atmospheric_effects
Volumetric effects such as crepuscular rays (“god rays”). atmospheric separations. like haze or fog at a distance will be discussed in this tutorial. V-Ray solutions including world versus mesh based solution are explained and compared to Nuke solutions with creative use of the Z-pass and world p...
