CREATING A REALISTIC INSECT CROWD SIMULATION IN MAYA

DIGITALTUTORS CREATING A REALISTIC INSECT CROWD SIMULATION IN MAYA TUTORIAL ISO

Throughout these lessons we'll develop an easy to control crowd simulation system with geometry instanced to Maya's nParticles. Maya's robust particle instancing system, along with the ability to precisely control particle movement along a surface, makes it easy to create an army of insects crawling along a surface.

By emitting into secondary nParticle objects we'll create the illusion of insects falling, or taking off from, that surface. Creation and runtime expressions, along with noise and ramp nodes, will be used to build an end user friendly control system that will govern all aspects of particle behavior including birth, death, emission rate, and movement.

Lessons in this tutorial:
• Introduction and project overview
• Moving nParticles across a goal surface
• Restricting the emission area with a ramp
• Using a Noise node to simulate random movement
• Creating a control object for the crowd system
• Adding an emission rate and global speed control
• Building basic geometry instancing for nParticles
• Creating targets for instancing
• Adding instanced geometry to the nParticle system
• Controlling forward alignment
• Aligning instances with the goal surface's normal
• Emitting into a secondary nParticle object
• Adding an Instancer node to the second nParticle object
• Transitioning the aim world up vector to match world space
• Controlling which nParticle object to emit into
• Using a ramp to drive the conditions of particle emission
• Controlling the birth and flight zone ramps
• Adding controlled randomness to our particle emission
• Transferring the crowd system to a new surface
• Finishing the crowd transfer tool
• Applying the crowd system in a shot
• Preventing collisions and caching the simulation
• Rendering the shot
