Note for newbies: DON'T EDIT THE LAMBERT1 MATERIAL! A better way to make the collision plane invisible is to go into the hypershade view, click on Lambert in the list (to create a new lambert material), and assign the plane to Lambert 2 (the material you just created). Then you can set the transparency to maximum. Lambert 1 is the default material, so if you edit that, the rest of the objects you create in the same scene will start out invisible, making them hard to work with. I've also heard it makes Maya freak out and stop working anyways in some cases.
It seems like I can't find an exact tutorial for it so, how could you get an animation for like ONE single droplet like coming out of a faucet sort of situation? Like as if it were dripping?
you would have to look for tutorials on smoke and fire, where you can manipulate the settings to be more liquid like, also look at nCloth tutorials as those can be used to make flags, jello, pretty much anything including water
nice tutorial, but did you know that hitting 'apply' does the exact same thing as hitting 'create', except 'apply' keeps the dialog box open? So all the time you did things twice and it only didn't create problems because Maya errored out XD
Hey Mike! I was wondering if you could do a dynamics video on how to simulate fire? I have a scene that I've created for a Demo Reel, and in that scene are a few Braziers (polygons, no nurbs), that I'd like to have fire emitting from. Thank you in advance if you are able to get to it.
I don't understand, I saved it as a .mb file, and the next time I open the file and play, the raindrops just appear on the upper plane but wont drop,I checked the gravity is on.
as always this was my next request, followed the tut on bifrost and liquid and made me a really kewl youtube intro, too bad they disabled branding in march : ( maybe share it with on my next upload. thanks for these mike
hey Mike, have you thought about making a tree? i was going to attempt it but it looked like something that would grow on mars instead of earth. maybe a weeping willow?
Im gonna give this a try.. I do have a question though, if I were to make a bifrost puddle, could I make the rain drops collide with said puddle or would I need to "cache" it first? I'll do some research on it but I think you made another tutorial involving passive colliders
Hey Mike, I was wondering how to loop this emitter (like you would for an animation). E.g. The particle emission doesn't stop and start when it reaches the last frame. Thanks in advance!
How did you do the drag when creating the plane. when i try to create a plane it creates it automatically for me with 10 faces Can you you please tell me how you change the settings for it thanks
+RonyH Hi Rony, Tou need to turn Interactice creation on. This allows you to create planes by dragging your mouse. Go to : Create - Polygon Primitives - Interactive creation and select the checkbox. Mike

👍
can you show a final rendering with & the settings?
Again a cool tuto
Thanks
+Jean-Luc Solliere Thanks !

you can apply a shadow catcher surface shader instead of making the plan transparent.
+Ali Mestassi I received this comment from you 9 times :-)
+Mike Hermes sorry about the bug! :).. I don't know what happened.. it's a good tutorial thought. I love your channel.
Thanks
+Mike Hermes Hi Mike,
Say you have like 10 camera's in a scene with a character how do you switch from one camera angle to another?
+Ryan Mulkin When you render you select from what camera
nice tutorial, but did you know that hitting 'apply' does the exact same thing as hitting 'create', except 'apply' keeps the dialog box open? So all the time you did things twice and it only didn't create problems because Maya errored out XD
+bonteaux Oops
Thanks for the tutorial? Question: Is this rain going to show up in the arnold render view?
Mike, iam your fan. I actually wanted to know abt how to make nparticles ripple like effect on grid or plane

Awesome video, Thanks again Mike!
+Luke Fallis No problem

Easy ,claar and pritty cool tutorials thanx MH sir It is very helpfull. Would you like to upload a some Blender Tutorials??
+Dilawer Hussaini I did one in the past but I really don't work in Blender, sorry
+Mike Hermes :-(
Thanks you, looks great!
Thanks
Nice tutorial mike! Could you do a tutorial on creating good looking sand next?
+RealMadnez Thanks, I will see what I can do
as always this was my next request, followed the tut on bifrost and liquid and made me a really kewl youtube intro, too bad they disabled branding in march : ( maybe share it with on my next upload.
thanks for these mike
+NOR3MSTI Would love to see it :-)
+NOR3MSTI Great job !
hey Mike,
have you thought about making a tree?
i was going to attempt it but it looked like something that would grow on mars instead of earth. maybe a weeping willow?
Did you see my tutorial on how to create a tree in Maya ?
i cant see the shading option in my attribute editor
It's not working.
When I try to play it, it just appears on the plane. It doesn't move down.
Did you set the gravity Victoria ?
Mike Hermes I don't think so. How do I do that?
Hit Ctrl+A to open the attribute editor on the right. Then check the tabs for gravity setting and make sure it is enabled
where is the gravity setting?
Im gonna give this a try.. I do have a question though, if I were to make a bifrost puddle, could I make the rain drops collide with said puddle or would I need to "cache" it first? I'll do some research on it but I think you made another tutorial involving passive colliders
You are correct, yes and yes
how to make ripple effects on ground? when droplets are falling on ground ,it's giving unrealistic look
what about render, its black
How do you adjust the speed of the rain? Whenever I create rain it just rushes abnormally fast even tho I have followed your tutorial
Edit animation I think
How do you effect the speed of it falling?
Good tutorial. Let say I want to wet my character in this rain so how can I do that???
Hey Mike, I was wondering how to loop this emitter (like you would for an animation). E.g. The particle emission doesn't stop and start when it reaches the last frame.
Thanks in advance!
Loop it in the graph editor
nice work bro thanx...
can you please make a video on how to create realistic puddles in maya using vray/mental ray/arnold
How did you do the drag when creating the plane. when i try to create a plane it creates it automatically for me with 10 faces
Can you you please tell me how you change the settings for it
thanks

Mike
thanks a lot
ever since i got maya 2016 i hours trying to find the right settings
thanks
You are very welcome
Good tutorial
+DjDartzOfficial Thank you
and how to import it to unreal engine? i have not found any tutorial
Nice tutorial, can you please show how to animate an advertisement board?
What do you mean by "animate an advertisement board ?"
I mean like the board used for advertisement on football pitches when a live match is in progress
Yes, you can project an actual film clip on a plane in Maya
Hi Mike!Have you got taught bind skin and paint skin weight in maya 2016?Can you tutorial me?thanks.
+Thăng Trần Bind skin yes ( check my bird rigging video ) Painting Skin weights, not yet
Thanks so much Mike Hermes
Can you export this particle to unity game engine?
That's awesome :)
+Heather Roderick Thanks Heather
how about the wetmap?
Sir may i know the configuration of your pc
it looks so fake, especially when it does not splash at the lighted area on the ground.
Love it!
Thank you
Your welcome
Hello, there a snow effect The tutorial?
To act as a background The snow
thank~

sir i don't understand one thing how to rotate the picture at 1:15 please tell me sir
Hold ALT and move your mouse
tnxx sir
and next how did u do that in 3:34
EXCELLENT !!
:)
+Adrian ART Thank you
how to download model for maya animation
plzz tall me
Download model from where ?
how to make it more look like "water"
Look into collision events with it you can get a splash effect when the the original particles hit the plane.
perfect
what render settings is best for this ?
+Khromus S There are many options and not one is better over the other
ive tried using mental ray as well as the maya software both came out were I was only able to see the picture when I batch render it
Can you upload that reference image link?
www.foap.com/photos/rain-water-flowing-down-a-street-in-down-town-helsinki-during-a-nightly-autumn-storm-and-creating-miniature-surge-on-a-cobble-street-at-unioninkatu-in-kaisaniemi-district-96aedae1-ae0a-48c6-aa18-57936f9d3416
how to save this animation MIKE????
You need to render frame by frame and then stitch them together into a movie. Check my video on how to Batch render
+Mike Hermes i did same but there shown just black in whole image
thanks bro
No problem
:D its just particles. where is the rain?
those are the rain. you can make them like a streak later.
Cool
Thank you
skill ee keneh mah tong ngajieun tutor atuuh...
I don't speak whatever this is, sorry
Mike, he said "Your skill so worst, please, give us better tutorial. Haha
