Posted by Duncan Brinsmead on 04/12 at 07:51 AMPerhaps you rendered with the maya renderer… this used mental ray, although the sky color should be the same in both, so it is hard to say what your problem is.
Posted by coppa on 04/11 at 08:21 AMThanks for all your work Duncan
Just a quick question - tried to render your scene without changing any settings and i donīt seem to get the same sky colour - mine is darker and a bit washed out . Is there anything i can do to get a more realist look to the sky and colors ?
Cheers
Posted by varomix on 03/16 at 09:48 AMoh my god this is very impressing Duncan, I can already see that NUCLEUS has a lot of power and is a great new feature in maya, I love the way this is going, water in maya, is even faster then all the flow solutions I’ve seen.
great work u guys, and some of us where afraid of maya disappearing how silly
thenx

2. One can get greater realism by increasing the resolution( particle count ) and using the selfCollisionSoftness(which I didn’t use in those examples).

Some questions about this effect since I don’t have ncloth.
1. I have seen ncloth in the demos, and I was wondering if this simulation is just as interactive.
2. What would you suggest for making this look more water like. Radius PP based on Velocity or something, not sure is threshold perparticle possible? Or is the softcollision thing you mentioned all that is required. Perhaps just increasing the particle count?
If this could cheat a little more to realistic, it could be usable in a lot of non hero shots!
