Maya - Dynamics - Week 1

So, in no particular order, here are some renders of the dynamic tutorials.

This is the Steam/Smoke tutorial. It took the longest, but probably looks the most effective of all four.

This is the Explosion tutorial. I had a few problems getting the script right for this one (putting spaces in the wrong places Etc.) but all in all - Lesson learned.

I decided to put a stick of dynamite in my version - just for the sake of it. I actually composited these in Photoshop, as they're only still images, so was able to add a little extra brightness to the fuse with a click or two.

Lastly was the Cloud particle tutorial. I changed the shot_cam to an above view, as it showed the clouds separating a bit more clearly.
