- We are very lucky as the famous Maya Guy has made an awesome Intro to Bifrost for complete beginners tutorial. Bifrost is free and a VFX system built into Maya already. It's incredibly powerful, and Phil will walk you through it from the very start.
If you want to learn more, you can see his more in-depth tutorials at 👉 / mayaguytutorials and see his amazing art at: 👉 www.mayaguy.com

--------------------------------
Maya Guy will walk us through setting it up, and the must-know basic fundamentals of instancing anything in your scene. You'll be surprised at the massive polygon count Bifrost can handle compared to something like Maya's native nParticles.
In the lesson we have used a basic biped walk and jogging cycle imported as alembic caches. But you can use anything! simple geometry, full characters, text for motion design etc.

@@Voyaque If you are familiar with ICE you will pick this up no problem, many similarities apparently.

Hi, sorry I haven't used USD much, Im not sure you can edit the arnold shader of an imported USD, let us know what you find out, thanks
I want new characters appearing over the plane and keep the animation like a infinite cycle! How can I do that ? ... Thanks!!!
Huge apologies that your message was missed some time ago now., Ill check with @MayaGuytutorials
@@AnimatorArtistLife No problem I understand that you guys are busy.. And thanks for your help I'll be waiting you answer!
Bifrost or Houdini
Hi, I'm not sure what you are asking? This is BiFrost which is built into Maya. Houdini is amazing also but I've not had the chance to try it, thanks
Step 1 : get frustrated
Step 2 : switch to Blender or Oudini for that kind of stuff
Houdini is awesome for sure. Bifrost can produce amazing vfx. I hope this video has helped ease some frustration, thanks for watching 😊
I’ve used all 3 professionally, BF totally has its place and I regularly use it on big projs, but you need to be tenacious. Lots of things make it easy to walk away.
