Autodesk has launched Maya 2013 in last month. Autodesk developers are working hardly on their products such as Maya, 3d Studio Max and so on. Autodesk Maya 2013 software brings useful toolsets to help generate and maintain the modern, open pipelines you need to address today’s challenging 3D animation, visual effects, game development, and post production projects. Powerful new toolsets for dynamic simulation, animation, and rendering offer new levels of creativity, while everyday productivity enhancements help you finish faster. In addition, the Open Data initiative introduced in Maya 2013 offers tools to help facilitate parallel workflows and better complexity handling.

Maya 2013 announces the start of something called Open Data. Open Data means working with and handling complex data with natural, high performance workflows. It’s essential to note that this is work that Autodesk see benefiting all Maya users – not just large studios. It can be some precisely stimulating material and Autodesk has tried to approach it in a way that small studios can get access to tools that, in the past, only big studios had access to by developing for themselves.

In the rendering realm, Autodesk sees a lot of enhancements to Viewport 2.0 and mental ray for Maya has been turned into a true plug-in. This update to mental ray makes it easier for the rendering developers at Autodesk and NVidia to talk to each other and improve mental ray in Maya. For other renderers, this improves the hooks that they have into Maya. Also Autodesk has done a bunch of other things, most notably with Nucleus nHair and Animation – on to the details!

The studio completed 300 shots for the film, in two key sequences: the first, an encounter between Perseus’s group and a trio of Cyclops, and the second, the group’s assault on The Labyrinth – the towering maze which provides access to Tartarus, where Zeus is imprisoned.”

Plot

A decade after his heroic downfall of the monstrous Kraken, Perseus-the demigod son of Zeus-is trying to live a discreet life as a village fisherman and the individual parent to his 10-year old son, Helius. In the meantime, a fight for sovereignty angers amongst the gods and the Titans. Hazardously weakened by humanity’s absence of piety, the gods are losing control of the trapped Titans and their violent leader, Kronos, father of the long-ruling brothers Zeus, Hades and Poseidon. The trio had conquered their powerful father long ago, leaving him to rot in the depressed depth of Tartarus, a prison that lies deep within the echoing underworld. Perseus cannot discount his true calling when Hades, along with Zeus’ godly son, Ares (Edgar Ramírez), change faithfulness and make a agreement with Kronos to imprisonment Zeus. The Titans’ strength raises stronger as Zeus’ remaining godly controls are draw off, and hell is unleashed on earth. Enlisting the help of the combatant Queen Andromeda (Rosamund Pike), Poseidon’s demigod son, Argenor (Toby Kebbell), and fallen god Hephaestus (Bill Nighy), Perseus bravely embarks on a treacherous quest into the underworld to rescue Zeus, overthrow the Titans and save mankind

Learn here in this tutorial about viewport 2.0 using Maya 2012. The viewport provides automotion and shading capability of the object. The viewport helps us to move the scene with one cilck from one place to another. You can say that the viewport is just because of camera manipulation tools. You can drag, dolly and tumble the scene with camera setting and control. The scane is dragged to adjust the scene geometry from all sides. The dolly option offers you to roate the scene and third one allows to zoom in or out. The functions are controlled by mouse button and one should learn it by heart at first before going through Maya projects. In this Maya tutorial, complete scene is shown and you are taught about different function and features of Maya modeling.

You can even see the close setting of the model by just using zoom in fuction. If you convert the character model or other models into wire frame mode, then it provides you more details about the scene geometry.
The following scene is actually full scene with perfect modeling and animation and when you play the animation, it describes the lighting and shading in detail. The plug-ins used in this project bring out while the animation is played. If you watch this video of Maya 2012 about viewport setting 2.0 attentively, you will surely find out more interesting information about this scene acording to your point of view. So watch this video and view the skill used in this scene.

Three-dimensional animation software Autodesk Maya 2012 provides a comprehensive environment to support the creative process with comprehensive tools for animation, modeling, simulation, visual effects, rendering, and compositing matchmoving technology platform ensures high expandability.

In this tutorial we shall introduce you with Maya nParticles. This application is mostly used in Maya dynamic features. In Maya, some special affects are created. Therefore special system is used in Maya which refers to computer graphics designing. These particles are taken for rendering purpose. Some common examples of particles are fire, explosions, smoke, moving water, sparks, falling leaves, clouds. The particles work with emitter. The emitter is a main source to scatter these particles. These particles are already integrated in Maya and we can use them in relevant projects easily. The emitter contains particles behavior parameters. These parameters deal with spawning rate.

Spawning rate means how many particles are generating per unit. In this video we’ll specifically look at the thickness functionality for nParticles and nCloth, nDynamic set, the fill volume for nParticles feature, nParticle to nCloth interaction, nParticle to nParticle collisions, liquid simulation, as well as blobby and cloud hardware display. When you simulate your scene, it seems that particles are coming from emitter. Commonly it is performing some kind of collision detection between particles and particular 3D objects in the scene to create the particles collision or otherwise interrelate with obstacles in the setting. Crashes between particles are seldom used, as they are overall costly and not actually useful for most simulations. The following video is describing about introduction of nParticles system.
