So I realize up-resing your fluid tests when you're 3% sure of what you're doing is a big no-no, but I was just so curious.

This is my second nuke test, done using Maya Fluids in Maya 2011
Container size - 50 90 50
Resolution - 200 360 200
Playblast time - ~4.5 Hours (174 frames)
I did this before I got a lot of really good advice from the people in the Ka-boom thread in the CGTalk Forums.
By the way, this thread is AWESOME. There's a lot of great information and people willing to help you improve. I really suggest reading every post, doing a few tests, looking at the sample file hidden in the thread, and asking for ways to improve once you've got a basic understanding of what you're doing.
Anyway, I've gone back to testing at a modest resolution (50, 90, 50), the computer I use can handle this really well and I can get tests out pretty quickly. From now on, I think I'll combine three or four tests in one video, and I can talk about them here.
Thanks everyone!

Did you ever finish your nuke? I would like to see it.
ReplyDeletelol, I almost forgot about this. I did some work on it and came up with something I think was... decent. I think I'll do some more work on it and post it this week or early next week.
