Features: This is a specialized book on how to use Maya for film animation. The book is divided into 7 chapters, including an introduction to the various functions of Maya's new module Fluid, the functions of mental ray for Maya and some examples, the functions of Maya Fur, the use of the SysflexCloth plugin for Maya applied in Final Fantasy, crowd animation, how to create explosions using particles, and how to organize special effects scenes. All the examples in this book have been applied to the final product. In addition to introducing the production methods, each example is presented as if in real film production: director's requirements, shot analysis, script understanding. It is hoped that readers can further understand the production process and gain some reference value for future CG creation. This book is not only suitable as a guide for designers engaged in film special effects, film and television advertising, game development, video multimedia, web design, 3D visualization, and other fields, but can also serve as a teaching material for computer animation majors in higher art colleges and related Maya training classes. The content of the accompanying CD-ROM includes scene files from the book and beautiful images of the examples.
