A new Maya tutorial from Stuart Christensen where Stuart goes through the Maya Particle Grid and uses an Air Field to create some particle effects. Stuart also covers some of the attributes associated with creating dynamic field effects, a great overview if you are a beginner in such endeavours!

Get a handle on using a Particle Grid and an Air Field to create awesome particle effects with this tutorial by Stuart Christensen. A particle grid created with the particle tool, is a plane of particles that can be manipulated with various dynamic field effects to produce some wild events. We will explore the Max Distance, Attenuation and and Magnitude controls as well as check out various other controls like the Falloff Curve, Volume Control Attributes and Axial Magnitude settings. Grab a cup of good coffee and get ready to create with this in depth look at the Particle Grid and Air Field combination.
