Introduction to MASH for Maya

MASH 是一个非常强大的动态图形和视觉效果插件，现在随 Maya 一起提供。它是一个程序系统，允许您使用易于使用的界面创建复杂的模拟和动画。MASH 可以产生的模拟非常疯狂，当与现在还随 Maya 一起提供的 Arnold Renderer 配对时，您可以获得一些奇妙的结果！
本课程的唯一先决条件是对 Maya 导航有基本的了解。其余的我将通过 5 种不同的练习从头开始教你。从 2017 年起，您还需要安装 Maya。在本课程中，我将教您开始使用 MASH 所需的基本技能和技巧。我将介绍我在 MASH 工作流程中最常使用的节点和实用程序，这将使您能够创建独特的程序模拟。
课程大纲
第 1 课 – 了解节点（MASH 中最常用的节点介绍）
第 2 课 – 渲染我们的模拟（使用 Arnold 渲染 MASH 模拟的最佳实践演练）第 3 课 – 动力学（对动力学节点和随附的子弹求解器的介绍）第 4 课 – 使用自定义路径（本课将看看在曲线节点以及我们如何为 MASH 构建我们自己的自定义路径）第 5 课 – 动力学第 2 部分（本课将更深入地了解 MASH 动力学以及我们如何让两个不同的 MASH 网络相互交互项目任务（作业） ) – （本课将引导您完成您被分配的最终作业，总结本课程中学到的技能和技巧。
该课程将以一个非常有趣的作业结束，您可以选择练习您在本课程中学到的技能！我很期待看到你们创造的东西，所以请上传你们的作品！我希望你们喜欢这门课程，就像我喜欢创造它一样！

MASH is a very powerful Motion Graphics and Visual Effects plugin that now ships with Maya. It is a procedural system that allows you to create complex simulations and animations with an easy-to-use interface.The simulations that MASH can produce are insane and when paired with the Arnold Renderer which now also ships with Maya you can get some fantastic results!
The only pre-requisite to this course is a basic understanding of navigating Maya. The rest I will teach you from the ground up across 5 different exercises. You will also need an installation of Maya from 2017 onwards.In this course I will teach you the fundamental skills and techniques that you need to get started in MASH. I will run through the nodes and utilities that I use most frequently within my MASH workflow which will prepare you to be able create unique procedural simulations.

Course outline

Lesson 1 – Know the Nodes (An introduction to the most frequently used nodes in MASH)

Lesson 2 – Rendering our simulation (A walkthrough of the best practices for rendering MASH simulations with Arnold)Lesson 3 – Dynamics (An introduction to the Dynamics node and the accompanying Bullet Solver)Lesson 4 – Using Custom paths (This lesson will take a look at the curve node and how we can build our own custom paths for MASH)Lesson 5 – Dynamics Part 2 (This lesson will take a more advanced look into MASH dynamics and how we can have two different MASH networks interacting with one anotherProject Task (Assignment) – (This lesson will walk you through the final assignment that you have been tasked with, summarising the skills and techniques learnt in this course.

The course will finish with a really fun assignment where you will have the option to practice the skills that you have learnt in this course! I’m looking forward to seeing what you guys create so please upload your work!I hope you enjoy this course as much as I enjoyed creating it!
