Maya 2020 fundamentals - modelling the real world
Get halfway through a model and find it's an unworkable mess? Can't add edge loops where you need them? Can't subdivide a mesh properly? If any of this sounds familiar check this course out.

rotating sprite expression
I have sprites that I would like to make randomly rotate on the Z Axis, how would you write an expression for this?
Cheers in advance.
Chris.

"dust_cloud - tz (sin 1) * rand, tx (cos 0) * rand, ty 1 * time;"
In this case the particals "dust_cloud" rotate in x and z by a factor of sin and cos (a circular path) mutiplied by your chosen rand function, and move up by a factor of time. If you have some kind of refrence for scripts you can plug in differnt values. Also I dont think this is exactly correct scripting but its close aside from rand which needs to be replaced by a function to create random numbers. Good Luck.
