Academic Phoenix Plus shows how to use Bifrost Fluids to create a water bending effect in Maya.

Maya’s Bifrost is a fluids effects system (Bifrost Fluids) and a visual programming environment (Bifrost Graph). That may confuse, but Autodesk expanded Bifrost to cover everything from water, fire, and smoke to building tools and compounds. 

This new tutorial from Academic Phoenix Plus shows how you can use Maya’s Bifrost Fluids to create a water bending effect and animation.

Bifrost is pretty good at water simulations, and Using Maya 2022, Monica shows how you can create fluids that flow along a path and animate it and light/render the effect.
