Particles and Fields in Maya" guides you through Maya's particle and dynamics system, which is used to create effects such as sparks, rain, smoke, fire, and dust. In addition, you will also learn dynamic fields such as gravity, wind, turbulence, and drag, which can be applied to these particles to create simulations that behave according to the laws of physics.
