Update of Maya Fluid Twister

manage to cheat a little just to get d sand to look as if its movin towards d twister, plus added much more sand flying around in d air, well as for the twister to form there must prob b very strong wind and sands should b all over the place

1st test on a single twister

From a video i took some where i figure it was kinda the perfect place to start, just that i might need a bit of help on the part where the sand on the ground are surpose to move towards the wind of the twister, or even i thinkit might be moving away... hmmm.. im not sure.

still trying

i figured that it might b a little too much for me to handle for a mini project on my own, so as a little personal project i think since im still new to this whole fluid thingy in maya, am im actually doing this as i read through a tutorial from a bk i got from d librabry so i think i should try to scale down the project alittle

Concept for Tawister project

inspired by x-men the movie the ability of Storm, i thought of makin my very own twister in sg city, will b workin on it today.

Hair spline inTwister

i use a fluid to create the twister plus another fluid to make the dust at the bottom then with a dynamic hair spline to shape the twister

PlayBlast of the tornado

Heres a playblast of the tornado, trying to make 2 fluid work togather, at this stage i think its hardly a complete yet, i am goin to make it spin a path tat hits some building, maybe even composite it into a video, hmm... might need to do some matchmoving.

Im goin to try something new here, i never did a tornado b4 so im goin to try makin one with help of maya fluid. Heres a screen shot of my viewpot.
