Visual Effects 2: Fluids (kinda) in Maya!

Hi, everyone! This post is all about the horrors and absolute pains I had to go through to get my third project in Visual Effects 2 to come together properly and the end result that I am super proud of!

First off, I spent a good three days trying to get something that even remotely resembled something that could work.
Secondly, I cried multiple times as I sat and watched my projects crash, not work, and just overall bug out in multiple programs.
Lastly, it will always amaze me how simply messing with one singular slider can change an entire project.

My project was using nParticles to create a pouring water effect. After discovering the Liquid Radius slider I was in a much happier place as I watched my nParticles finally start to collide and work. I would go into more detail as to how I did it, but I honestly do not remember all my steps, all I really remember is dancing in victory when it started to work properly.
So without further wasted time, I present my final project with a playblast and render!
