SESSION 02 Animation Particle Basics in PDF

This document provides an overview of Maya Dynamics particle basics. It discusses how to create and control particles in different environments like space or on surfaces. It covers parenting objects to dynamic motion, setting keyframes for particle attributes, and creating motion paths along nurbs curves. Examples shown include making a text effect using live objects and particles, and a simple virtual experiment using keyframed visibility and color changes.
