celebrating video 1k followers on Instagram – inflating fx with Maya

 

Hi there,

today I want to share just some tips about creating inflating simulation using Ncloth in Maya.

In the video shown before I created a 3d Text Type , and after adding some tessellation for have more deformations I just select the model and I added NCloth to the object… for have the inflating fx I just animate the pressure parameter with negative value , otherwise it looks like a baloon that must to explode …. 😀

Vray IOR – Index Of Refractions Values

Hi there,

I want to share this list , I think that helps a lot when tried to found right reflections/refractions on Vray materials.

A lot of 3d applications these days allow you to input actual IOR values in order to achieve a more accurate representation of surfaces during rendering of your 3d models.

The fresnel IOR and IOR are actually linked in V-ray  because this is how the materials work in real life. It means that if a material has an IOR of 3 then so is its fresnel IOR as well.

Material IOR Values:

Acetone 1.36
Actinolite 1.618
Agalmatoite 1.550 (more…)
