How to create crashing beach waves in Maya 2017 with BiFrost

[@mkprocter882]

Mike Hermes is simply the best Maya Tutor out there

[@MHTutorials3D]

Thanks Marty !

[@mertgerdan3280]

Hello Mike, I really love the video, and I have been a subscriber for the past 7 months or so, but I have a quick suggestion. In your upcoming videos, if rendering is not a huge issue, could you show everyone what a certain animation looks like? I know you use keyshot and whatnot to show the final product on modelling videos, but it would be really entertaining to see what these simulations turn out to be in a 24-30 fps if you rendered them out and showed them before the video started / after it ended.

[@MHTutorials3D]

Mert, I understand you question but the simple fact is that rendering takes a lot of time and if I outsource it a lot of money. As I work for a living and KZbin does not pay the bills I can not afford to do it at this time, sorry

[@mertgerdan3280]

Hm, I see, you are very right on that. I was thinking RebusFarm might have been interested if you advertised them in the corner or something of the render, but time and money could still be an issue. Thanks for that quick reply though :)

[@lilitbeglarian7942]

Mike, you're such a help- I don't know how I would get by without your tutorials. Thank you so much for all the time and effort you take to do these, they're really appreciated!

[@artistry6034]

it's very helpful. but I just want to ask how can I update Bifrost 2017. because I don't have an updated Bifrost option. please guide me.

[@shiraptinathdhuvaraganath2935]

thanks man for ur short and sweet thing for the bifrost and i really understand this.........

[@MHTutorials3D]

Great !

[@sabrinaflipse7732]

what kind of computer specs do you have? my computer crashes a lot with bifrost. :( and i think i have a pretty decent rig.

[@MHTutorials3D]

I would recommend Pluralsight ( online classes )

[@aakashdimri9903]

Mike Hermes ya i just started the subscription of pluralsight can u help me out like what tutorial i should i watch

[@mnoor8946]

[@vaibplays6127]

[@ramn6679]

Hello mike Hermes, I really love your videos, so can you please make a video on how to model shoes in maya 2017 and texture it in 3D coat

[@MHTutorials3D]

Thanks Ram

[@roxannewheeler]

You made this nice and simple! Thanks for sharing!

[@MHTutorials3D]

You are very welcome Roxanne !

[@Gerador20]

hello mike you should also check out boss for bifrost to get this resualt but have more control :)

[@MHTutorials3D]

I will add it to the list :-)

[@ramn6679]

Wow! I really took a good move in watching and subscribing your channel. I really enjoy your channel. I even get the quickest response here. Thanks a lot Mike Hermes. Autodesk maya has become so simple for me now.

[@MHTutorials3D]

You are very welcome

[@GiuseppeDL]

Hi Mike, I'm not sure if this is a good place for a request ? How would you represent or simulate radiating pain in a muscle, for like a medical related animation ?

[@MHTutorials3D]

I would do that by making the area red and have the light intensity ( of the color red ) pulsate

[@leonfomil1768]

Hey Mike, after following your video I would like to render it. What is the best rendering to use? I want a realistic render with foam

[@JustGraphic87]

This is so awesome, can't wait to try this tutorial out, will surely create this and show you once I try this out

[@MHTutorials3D]

Would love to see it, can't wait

[@JustGraphic87]

I tired and created this, should I batch render using mental ray?

[@JustGraphic87]

I created this, now how should I render this? Should I render using mental ray, I mean batch render using mental ray Thanks in advance

[@mertgerdan3280]

Let me help you on that and save Mike's time. Yes. Check the render settings to ensure you are all good with the render format(I use TIFF) and resolution, and make sure mental ray is selected. After that, hit batch render. You should hit up a quick tutorial on batch rendering, as when that's over, you have to import them into After Effects as a sequence and whatnot.

[@JustGraphic87]

Thank You so much Mert

[@tarikalpat]

Thanks a lot!

[@diegoortiz6506]

Hello MIKE I love your videos, I have a question and I do not find the answer, I would appreciate you to help me, I use Maya 2017 and I just want to create a simple water show but I can not, I create a SPHERE-BIFROST-LIQUID- the container It appears under The sphere and is too small, inside contains two purple circles

[@MHTutorials3D]

1. Create a polygon object 2. Select it, Go to BiFrost menu and click "make liquid 3. Make sure you have 200 frames or more in your animation slider 4. Hit Play

[@robertt223]

HI Mike, Thanks again for these videos your one of my go to's for these. question. I saw some things about casheing to alembic and all that could you do a video about that for a n00b like myself. also rendering for Arnold in 2018 for it. like that same beach scene for instance. I have a pool with text falling into it with bullet and making splashes and all and its got it running but how to cashe and what that means and does if I did other animation in scene for instance. Hope that makes since I'm a bit lost.

[@MHTutorials3D]

The request list is crazy long but I will see what I can do

[@eriuz]

Hi Mike do you know a way to convert bifrost fluids into meshes so you can use them on other engines that are not arnold like radeon pro render or redshift

[@devashish_yt]

thanks for this awesome tutorials. can you upload a full tutorial video on HUMAN HEAD MODELLING.

[@MHTutorials3D]

I don't do characters, sorry

[@arjunacharya9514]

awesome sir!! Been following you for a long time....

[@MHTutorials3D]

Thank you so much !

[@arjunacharya9514]

how does it come out when we render it out sir?

[@MHTutorials3D]

It will look 100% real ( compare it to this ) kzbin.info/www/bejne/rqOwfIBvfriXibs

[@arjunacharya9514]

Thanks a lot sir for the tutorial.... Is it possible for you to post the specs of your PC?? I have a laptop and rendering takes way lot of time..... Thank you

[@alicansaygn338]

Hello sir. Visibility channel or layer editor. Why did you use material for hide ? Any special reason. I'm wondering?

[@MHTutorials3D]

Hi Alican, can you be a bit more specific ?

[@alicansaygn338]

Hello again sir. You could hide objects at the visibility channel or layet editor but you choose material's transparancy. I'm wondering, is there a specific reason for this ?

[@MikeHermesPhotography]

Hi Alican, no special reason

[@avischiffmann6220]

I don't understand what rebus farm is, I looked at this website but I don't get it.

[@MHTutorials3D]

If you image or animation is too large to render on your system then you can send it to #Rebusfarm. They will then do it for you. They are super fast and very affordable as a service ( www.rebusfarm.net )

[@avischiffmann6220]

Oh so like a render farm I see, that's cool I'll consider it for longer films!

[@MHTutorials3D]

No problem

[@arjunacharya9514]

awesome man!! Been following you for a long time....

[@ady7d77]

thxs but is it reliable_?, who is better pluralsight or udemy?

[@MHTutorials3D]

In my opinion Plularsight but keep in mind that they are just videos so it is mostly self study

[@ady7d77]

so you can see them all, for there are many topics, but what if i wanna see all topics if i pay anually_?, i like selfstudy better, is there exam_?, certified?, etc. this is my last question, sorry for many questions.

[@MHTutorials3D]

For a fixed amount per month you can watch everything they have, any video, any topic as often as you like

[@product_six8569]

Does Maya 2017 have the Mental Ray plug in? Or is Mental Ray gone for good?

[@MHTutorials3D]

You can download it from www.NVIDIA.com and install it

[@product_six8569]

Thank You.

[@Soulofjazzman]

Yes! Mike, you are a God!

[@MHTutorials3D]

[@MHTutorials3D]

You can

[@ady7d77]

excume, can you texture the water so it can be the course complete pls, i will give a thousand likes.

[@MHTutorials3D]

It is just a matter of rendering in Mental Ray, that is all. problem is that it takes a long time. That is why I did not do it in the video

[@ady7d77]

i wanna learn everything about oceans, rivers and brooks, where i find a course without going to school?
