Pattern Animated in Maya
05/03, 2008
 

When working in Maya, I first change the pattern color to match my theme. The other change I made is in Renderman Slim Editor. In the Slim Editor I connect a marble shader to my shader's backgrounf color, to create a spoty background. A sheer node is added to it, which allows the patern to twist and scale.

Adjusted shader look


In order to show my pattern in Maya, I use plans to combine rings, and make these rings to form a turnal shape structure. These rings can rotate in different direction, and also provide enough repeating effect.

For final animate image, I combine movement in model, light, and shader itself to create a complex look. The result is very close to what I expected, and the final image looks even better when added motion blur effect in post-production.
