Maya 2011 3D Fluid Container for Explosions, Fire, Smoke Tutorial Part 1 of 2 by Stuart Christensen

What happens when you place a match near the open end of a gallon of gasoline? It's not pretty, especially if you're the one holding the match! It's best to let Maya do the work by employing a 3D Fluid Container and a couple of fluid emitters to create this powerful reaction! This tutorial by Stuart Christensen (Part 1 of 2) will get you up and running with creating an explosion in a box and controlling the various combustive elements that make explosions so combustive! So put on your safety glasses and let's go pyro! This is part 1 of a two part series so get a cup of coffee and pay attention!

how do you get the out liner tab open?

[deepfriedectoplasm]

@tyetygon In the Main Maya Menus go to Window - Outliner and you will find the "all important" outliner.

@ninjablooper123 Watch Part 1 and Part 2 and by the end you should get a very good idea of how to create this stuff.
