hey guys im working on a spiderman project for school and need some help. before i start animating, how can i make his web come out from his wrist? i am using maya 8.

the web should be emitting infinite times as he will do it many times in a scene. so how can that be possible?

i thought of maybe somehow using a nurbs cylinder and just squashing it in his wrist, and maybe use a set driven key and scale attribute....??? but i have no idea.. any help would be great!

thanks, yuriy.

1. u can mask the web string in compositing software..

2. I am using max, in max I would use slice modifier on the wrist. so when I animate. it would appear after it passed the slice modifier. I am not sure in maya. I just use it for few months.

3. of course alot of stretch \flexible helps in animatiom, and don't forget a lot of motion blurr. so u can use just mapping for the spaghetti texture of the web ( it would be troublesome if u use poly to model the web.

4. If it goes close up to the wrist. I think cloth fx would help.

hope that helps..
good luck!
