Introduction to Dynamics

What is covered in this training product?

This training series dives deep into the inner workings of simulations and dynamics in Autodesk Softimage. The simulation engines are explained in depth; as well the technical side of dynamics is explained comprehensively through the process of dissecting the different components that construct the simulation and the simulation environment.

After learning the technical details of the dynamic simulation and the tools that we can use to control these simulations, you will learn to use dynamics to your advantage to achieve actual results using example production scenes designed to teach how to work with dynamic tools in real situations, as well as how to solve common problems that can be encountered when attempting to setup simulations. Learn to work with rigidbodies, softbodies, forces, constraints, and more. This training product includes all project files and assets needed to follow along with the instructor. Project files require Softimage 6.5.

NOTE: This product is available as a download only.
            Includes all project files, scenes, and assets.
