Dynamic Camera via Maya Hair
Dynamic Camera via Maya Hair
Hand keying steady cam effects can be a drag, and we used to have to set up complex soft-body rigs to simulate it. Here is a way to set up a dynamic camera utilizing Maya's dynamic curves that's fast, easy, and fun. These steps assume that you have a basic knowledge of Autodesk Maya 8 and up and know basic terms (like dynamic simulation) and tasks (like renaming nodes and parenting) so we can keep this article small.

camera work with the motion path
camera work with the motion path
Using the Motion Path with camera, you can set the camera target by the path and you can make smooth rotation of camara view.

cluster animation
cluster animation
Keyframes can be set directly to CV and Vertices,but using cluster deformer you can easily set the keyframes to the group of CV and Vertices.

Learn Maya 3D Nonlinear Deformers Part VI – Wave Deformer
Learn Maya 3D Nonlinear Deformers Part VI – Wave Deformer
This is last series from Nonlinear Deformer series. Wave deformer hardly suited for making animation expanding ring of ripple. To apply wave I recommend that you to apply high resolution object.

Learn Maya 3D Nonlinear Deformers Part V – Twist Deformer
Learn Maya 3D Nonlinear Deformers Part V – Twist Deformer
Now we will learn about Twist Deformer. Twist is tool which very simple among other nonlinear deformers. Actually I seldom apply twist for modeling or animation. But I have example using twist for modeling and hopefully this example earns good for you.

Learn Maya 3D Nonlinear Deformers Part IV – Squash
Learn Maya 3D Nonlinear Deformers Part IV – Squash
After you studies Sine Deformer now it's the time studies Squash Deformer. Same as Sine deformer I have not experience using squash for modeling, so I don't have modeling tutorial for Squash Deformer.

Learn Maya 3D Nonlinear Deformers Part III – Sine
Learn Maya 3D Nonlinear Deformers Part III – Sine
After studying Bend and Flare Deformer now it's the moment learning Sine. Differs from Flare Deformer, where I apply Flare just for modeling (has not got idea to apply Flare for animation). For Sine, I only apply Sine just for animation, but possible Sine applicable to assist modeling process (I have never tried applies Sine for modeling).

Learn Maya 3D Nonlinear Deformers Part I – Bend
Learn Maya 3D Nonlinear Deformers Part I – Bend
This is the first series out of six series which I plan. Nonlinear Deformers consisted of Bend, Flare, Sine, Squash, Twist, and Wave. Deformer earns you to apply for animation or modeling.
