This is a fantastic tutorial! Thank you very much for sharing. I've been using Maya for many years, but there is always so much more to learn. I just started searching KZbin hoping to find a tutorial that would demonstrate how to do this. I'm so glad I found your video. Great work, thank you again.

@JasonBraatzC7 жыл бұрын
Cool! The alternative method that I've had to do these before using Maya fluids (creating multiple 3D containers, configure the fluid so it's thick & drippy) then by setting a keyframe every 30 frames or so on the 'Use emission' on the fluid shape, setting it up on, skipping 5 keyframes and turning it back off). It then can be used to also produce the cellular divisions. What I like about your method using Metaballs better is that you have a lot more control over the process [and] it appears you had less time tweaking them at first to get it right. Great job!

I've followed your tutorial to a T, and it worked very smoothly, up until I got to 4:52+ of your tutorial. I'm finding it difficult to move group 1 from group 2, whenever I try to, the sphere deforms as I move it and then it disappears completely... I'm completely new to Maya, so there is probably something I've missed but I can't seem to find a solution using google. Can anyone help? TIA

It should turn back to normal once you set the key-frame and if not all you have to do is move the nucleus and the clusters should return to normal.

Emily. I recommend the "emPolygonizer5 for Maya" plugin for tasks like that. It much faster converts particles into geometry, it also works with polygonal objects. Recently, I was visualizing the spread of cancer using it. The plugin was free. Unfortunately, the site where it was currently not working, but the plug-in and training videos can be found on the Internet.

Rongxuan Mu you will need to select the cluster deformer that you attached to the particle, not the particle itself. Particles cannot be moved on their pen. Try selecting the Cluster in the Outliner rather than in the scene. It should work using this tutorial so you could maybe go through the steps again. Really hope you manage to resolve your problem :)

My solution was to check under "Weighted Deformers" in the "Component Editor". All my particles were being influenced by all the clusters, so I had to go through and set the ones that weren't supposed to be connected to zero, leaving the ones that were to 1. That fixed my problem.
