Working on having particles come together to form words, I got the tutorial from http://cgi.tutsplus.com/tutorials/animate-a-logo-forming-from-particles-in-maya--cg-1810 and plan on using this for a few things.

Cube over ocean: Cornell 2014

As of recently, I've been working on getting fluids done. This is the final tutorial from Autodesk about fluids. As you can see in the image, I'm doing a batch render to get a well done animation of the supernatural floating cube.

Creating a dynamic 3D effect

This tutorial was on creating a 3D container for fluids, painting density and fuel on the bottom three layers, painting temperature in the middle, and hitting play. It created a combustion.

Creating a non-dynamic 3D fluid effect

There was a tutorial in creating a cloud bank, and right after it finished rendering, Maya crashed.

Creating a Dynamic 2D Fluid Effect

A 2D fluid container with two emitters - each colored -, turbulence, and a small plane that collides with fluids.

Wine Glass: Progress

Working on modeling and rendering a wine glass with water inside, then later creating and rendering an animation of the wine glass swirling the water around, or maybe the water being poured into the glass from above. Maybe a glass pitcher.

Tabs and tabs and tabs.

Sci-Vis Topic Research

I think we've found something I can make a Sci-Vis animation about that is interesting, visual, educational, and has a side benefit of earning a skill that could easily get me a job.

Amazing, First-Class, 100% Real Beef, All American Cube

Look at that cube. Have you ever seen anything so perfect? Of course not.
