Maya 2016: Guided Simulations in Bifrost

This short video gives you an overview of the new guided simulations feature available in Bifrost in Maya 2016. Guided simulations give the artist control, providing the ability to art-direct the behavior of liquids using a cached simulation or an animated mesh object. With a guided simulation, a full-depth low-resolution liquid can be used to guide a high resolution simulation on the liquid’s surface, which is useful for effects such as hero waves.
