Rafal123 Posted December 13, 2004 Share Posted December 13, 2004 I tried do some particles stuff in Maya using goals but.... geez, so many expressions should I write to achieve simple, dumb effects. Am I stupid or something? Am I victim of Alias propaganda? I have heard that guys from Imageworks completely rewrite Maya cloth(or something to dynamics) in MEL to achieve their targets. Buhuuuuu It look like programing environment for MEL. Sorry for my complaints but this is only forum where I can complain for Maya and cry Greetz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rafal123 Posted December 13, 2004 Author Share Posted December 13, 2004 Ok Ok I know. Only happy Houdini users here Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keltuzar Posted December 13, 2004 Share Posted December 13, 2004 yup mel is the way to go if you want to have proper control of the particles... I have heard its quite easy to learn... but WTH... if you have houdini a good POPs nodes do a great job and efficiently too... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edward Posted December 14, 2004 Share Posted December 14, 2004 I'm not quite sure which way you mean here ... that you achieved particle effects more easily in Maya or in Houdini? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rafal123 Posted December 14, 2004 Author Share Posted December 14, 2004 Example: Maya got somethin like GOALS it's the same like houdini ATTRACTOR. Now I wanna use alpha_channel as goal/attractor. In Maya it's hard piece to breake. In Houdini too or rather not? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevenong Posted December 14, 2004 Share Posted December 14, 2004 I just guessing what you wanna do here though you can use the Alpha value as the scale factor in the Attractor POP. Cheers! steven Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
