Hey guys!
I am trying to achieve such an effect (so far using Maya) of a character/object that is formed from smoke/liquid/sand ... that comes from everywhere and binds together to shape it. Of course the first thing I have tried was to use particles and goals but it did not worked out well (either because of my lack of skill or because it was not the best approach for this kind of job by a single person with limited resources http://www.3dbuzz.com/vbforum/images/smilies/smile.gif ). If anyone knows a way to do this, has any constructive sugestions or knows about a tutorial or an explanation from someone that has done this before please let me know. There are some pretty talented people on this site and maybe someone can help me or point me in the right direction. Thank you!
P.S. : No, I am not trying to recreate the birth of the Sandman from Spiderman http://www.3dbuzz.com/vbforum/images/smilies/smile.gif (that would be way to complicated and really out of any single person's league).
