Once again Lazy for the beginners. Here is a link to a youtube guy. |

| Here I am going to put up all the useful things I've found in maya as far as tutorials go. I never had a class for particles but I loved the idea. I found this video on youtube that was helpful but some parts of it were wrong. |

Now i'm sure you noticed the guys debree isn't actually rotating. So I had made some notes to fix this. You can use all of his expressions except his particleShape1.userVector2PP crap. It doesn't work. What I ended up doing is went to add attribute/general button. Then created rotPP. Made it a vector and a per particle (array). Then if you create an expression on your new attribute. It should be based off of the velocity. So I messed around for a while and found that if you create this expression "run befor dynamics" it should help out. float $vel = (particleShape1.velocity)*rand(15,50); particleShape1.rotPP = $vel; This will make it actually randomly rotate because the rotation is based off of the velocity of the particle. So when the velocity stops so will the particles rotation. oh yeah. I bet your excited it actually worked.

Fluid Effects - I actually made my own Video Tutorial on this one so enjoy! |
This is the version i got when you play around and set some keys in there
