Create a Swarm using Dynamics in Maya 2019

[@TheFalconking]

When I bring the newton field and press play, the particles fall to the ground instead of getting attracted to the icon. what can be wrong ? thanks.

[@bigfisher42]

"Lucky for us, Maya is smart" are words I never heard in this order before.
Good tutorial though!

Thank you so much rO EZ! I really appreciate it. :)

[@meiling6584]

Since it is particles, can particles render in Arnold?

[@kioly_ah]

really nice one!

[@michaelc3963]

for some reason, my mesh wont instance. What am i doing wrong?

[@zeffraser7885]

How did you model the firefly?

[@prodijay1211]

Can you make them follow an object in real time

[@MissIzzyChurch]

thanks!!!! so helpful

[@mathewsjoseph5437]

Hi Monica Nice tutorial. How to cache this animation.

[@chrisvalentin6644]

Thank you so much Monica🤗 so sweet of you to do this tutorial👍 just one question how to render thise bees out as geometry. I want to bring Them in to Nuke for compositing. 😊

[@AcademicPhoenixPlus]

yes you can! they are considered duplicates of the original geometry so they will render and then comp them in nuke. I'm glad this is helpful! would love to see your final scene when complete!

[@tanisha.mp4]

So useful! Can you do this with low intensity point light sources?

[@AcademicPhoenixPlus]

Unfortunately no, lights can't be used. But you can make geometry 'glow' with emission :)

[@vuongtrinhquoc9241]

thanks, great tutorial

[@AcademicPhoenixPlus]

Thank you for watching!

[@MathiasJ89]

Great butt-flies, thanks :D
Can you somehow activate animation on the geometry to for example make their wings flap?

[@AcademicPhoenixPlus]

you can! It's a bigger process, but I'm making a tutorial on it now (it's a bird). Should be out by next week so keep an eye out!

[@marksantiago22]

can make Fireflies in the night in jungle that can light randomly please monica

[@DGFA-]

Cool!
I made swarm of fireflies but I stock on the glowing material. How to make a randomly (for each particle) flickering glow?

[@AcademicPhoenixPlus]

You can animate the texture, so the glow looks like it's flickering. I have a tutorial on it here. Hopefully it helps! th-cam.com/video/mFPDbAtFY5g/w-d-xo.html

[@do_ob1815]

Thanks a bunch, Do you know how to export the animation of every particle individually?
