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

Help with particles and collisions?

user added image

I make the particles collide with the glass object, but they still go through it to an extent... im using blobby surface particles and a polygon with mia material

Use nParticles.
Check this tutorial by Duncan Brimsmead, one of the developers of Maya Fluids & the Nucleus system etc.

...otherwise, fluids are the way to go.

Just FYI:
The OLD outdated "pre-fluids" way was to do this:

I tried some things in the tutorial, but i still have the same effect.. is there an attribute that prevents the edges of a particle from penetrating the object its colliding with? while at the same time colliding with that object? my "liquid" looks decent with larger particles, but they just protrude through the object even more..
