Introduction to Maya - Rendering in Arnold
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

Particle Problem
im trying to make a trail for a comet and cant seem to get the texturing on the particles right.
im using a particle cloud texture but when i add a ramp it textures each particle seperately which doesnt look right.
Does anyone know how to solve this.
All ideas welcome
thanks for your time

in the maya docs there is a section called ->
Set particle attributes with a ramp texture
but I don´t quite know if this is solving your problem. I don´t have much experience with particles, but you can have a look at fluids. with fluids within the fluidShape node you can set parameters like Temperature and Fuel (to dynamic grid). then go down to the Contents tab and experiment with density, velocity, turbulence and temperature. besides those basic parameters you have lots of other options to simulate the creation of fire turning into smoke or anything else. try to get a tut on fluids. I think fluids are better for simulating such physical processes than particles. but thats only cause I don´t know much about particles..
good luck!
