Dmm And Maya Particles ( Emitting Maya Particles From Dmm Object )

[alsh3lan]

A lot of Dmm users have a question >> how to emit particles from a dmm object
so .. in this simple tutorial i'll show you how to emit particles from a dmm object
and how to control the particles emission by texture .

if u want to emit nparticles from DMM object just select the outputSurfaceShape from the DMM object that u create then choose Emit from Object

Simple work around...but I think what people are asking for is the ability to identify the fracturing faces and emit from them. Doing a simple texture rate across all of the faces kind of works but would not hold up for something higher end, like a feature FX driven destruction shots shown on a big screen.

Great Tutorial alsh3lan!

I put it on our FB page as well.

we can emit from fracturing faces
i'll make another tutorial

Emitting Maya Particles From Dmm Fracturing faces (quick tutorial)

if u want to keep ur main uv set u can copy it to another uv set
from UV Texure Editor -->> polygons -->> copy UVs to UV Set
u can manipulate the new UV set and use it with emitter -->> Texure Emission Attributes -->> UV Set

One thing you might try is to assign a different texture to internal faces and use that to emit particles. You can do this by following the instructions for assigning inner face textures as opposed to a general surface texture. Assign the first texture to the entire object and then pick a single face and assign another texture to that. The second texture will become the inner surface texture which you can use to emit particles.

thanks Alshlan
That is a work around, appreciate it. Id still like to see a more controllable comprehensive workflow but this fills the gap for now.
