Maya 2017 MASH Tutorial - Scatter balloons and vertex color in Arnold

Maya 2017 MASH Tutorial - Scatter balloons and vertex color in Arnold
In this awesome Maya tutorial, you'll learn how to quickly scatter balloons onto any shape using MASH for Maya 2016.5 onwards. Once we have a quick layout we'll use Arnold 2.1 to set up a quick dome light with an hdri texture that you can download for free from the edge-cgi website.
After lighting is sorted we'll cover how to randomize the colors of the balloons with mash and pass this vertex color over to Arnold using an aiUserDataColor node. Make sure that the export vertex color is checked on the shape node!
Hope you enjoyed this tutorial Stay tuned for more!

How can I animate every single balloon randomly?? Great tutorial though!

[@WillPreston3D]

ive been trying to use this to randomise colours on a shader in a Arnold standin that's distributed as MASH instances but its not working, is this not possible?

[@Scorpionwacom]

What about the interpenetrations? Can MASH resolve it with collisions?

[@accountunactive8904]

could you make a tutorial on how to animate the scatter balloons it would br greatly appreciated =)

[@mainframe2177]

In 2018 you could use MASH Dynamics. Lots of vids here vimeo.com/album/4703404 Check out 'MASH - Dynamics. Constraints' to create the idea that they are all connected to a point by strings.
