Reimagine Fx shows how to create a colorful explosion using Maya’s nParticles and Fluid effects.

Bifrost handles fluids and visual programming in Maya, and the Nucleus system is still pretty effective. This new tutorial from Amar Shinde (Reimagine Fx) shows how to use nParticles and Maya Fluids to create a colorful explosion effect and render the results with Arnold.

Shinde often shows the motion graphics-like applications to things like Fluids and cloth simulations inside Maya.

A previous tutorial from Shinde showed how to combine Maya fields and fluids to create colorful smoke. Check that one out here.
