This course will look at the fundamentals of rendering in Arnold. We'll go through the different light types available, cameras, shaders, Arnold's render settings and finally how to split an image into render passes (AOV's), before we then reassemble it i

Hey All,

I've been away for a long time, because I didn't have much time for 3d modeling. Now I've got a new computer and I just installed Maya 2008 and I am thinking about starting a new project.

I'm thinking about creating a glass rose, that falls to the ground and shatters into a million pieces, and I want to have those pieces fall in a way to spell out a word, or a sentence.

What would be the best way to go about doing this, what programs should I use, and what way would give the most lifelike results?

Thanks on forehand,

Silver

Hi a suggestion for the spelling out of a word would be to instance the shattered pieces onto particles with a goal to an invisible text curve.
Im not sure how to get an effective transition from the shattering of the glass to the particles though without a camera cut so you dont notice.
