This presentation has a special focus on working with expressions. You will learn how to combine particle systems and fluids to produce a wide variety of effects. Learn how to make full use of fluids by writing expressions. Master water related effects such as creating foam on an ocean surface using both particles and fluids. Learn to create highly effective gaseous effects as wel as flames and explosions. Understand how to work with fluid textures plus hints on how the fluid Navier-Stokes solver of Maya an be used for crowd simulation and more. Included with this video are presenter notes and dozens of Maya files for you to use as you learn.

Burn® software is Autodesk's Linux®-based network processing solution for Autodesk® Inferno®, Autodesk® Flame®, Autodesk® Flint®, Autodesk® Fire®, Autodesk® Smoke®, and Autodesk® Lustre® effects systems software. Burn allows you to render images in the background using low-cost Linux workstations while simultaneously freeing your online suite for more creative tasks. With Burn, facilities can leverage a larger pool of CPU power so that complex visual effects requiring intensive processing can be created more quickly—cutting production costs and reducing time to completion on a project—a significant advantage when creating the complex visual effects required for today's demanding feature film, HDTV, and video projects.

"Burn software gives our Autodesk Flame and Autodesk Inferno systems their greatest flexibility yet," explains Brian Hanable, Senior Interactive Compositing Artist, Sony Pictures Imageworks. "Using four Burn nodes and Flame, we are able to render 2K film build pieces on Burn while still adjusting the rest of the composite in proxy mode. We check the Backburner manager to monitor the progress, and when those renders are done, we can swap out the proxies with the rendered 2K results. Our team can keep on working throughout the process and rendering process-intensive ADN Sparks is also maximized," concludes Hanable.
