Hello,
I am working with maya for the first time in a while. Can someone with experience comment on a typical setup for creating a re-usable FX rig in maya.
For example, if I created a setup for an arc of lightning jumping from one piece of geo to another, but then I need to bring it into shots and the geometry now has to come from the scene.
My first question is what is a typical way to bring an existing rig into a shot, and second what is a typical way to wire up new geometry.
hello ah-fx
it’s reasonable to say that you ain’t giving much to work on here, so further information would be needed, if one might wanna help you 
how’s your lightning effect done ?
with geometry ?
connected to other geometry which is moving ?
how ? to shapes or transforms ?
what’s pi’s 34976543 decimal ?
give cgtalk all the info you can and then maybe cgtalk will help you
