What? So what? Now what?

Pre-class

I began watching part 2 of the EmberGen live training videos. This one focuses on dust and smoke effects.

During Class

There was a mixup with the expected date for the week with no classes. Originally there was not supposed to be a class today but it was a miscommunication and next week will have no classes instead.

During class I showed Michael my progress in EmberGen and began setting up the scene for my explosion animation in Maya by finding a shipping container model and using nCloth to make it appear as if a large object (missle for the final animation) is piercing it from the top.

After Class

I used PullDownIt to fracture and simulate a rigid body explosion for the shipping conatiner. With this I can bake it to an alembic and export it into EmbgerGen.
