Maya tutorial: Bubbles in the glass

Active ImageWith the method described bellow you can simulate any bubbles under the water. I did try to keep all scene as simple as i can so even beginners can get good result. All the solution is only one particle emitter scaled to the size of the glass. Than the shape of the particles have been changed to blobby to be able render them with maya software renderer.

 

 

 

STEP 1:

Create the simple CV curve with the shape of the glass profile.

STEP 4:

Place the cap of the cylinder on the place where you want to have the surface of the liquid in the glass. Scale it all so it will fits in the glass.

Click on the particle1 in the left column than activate Collisions round button and click in the right column on your liquid surface plane node. It will change to the yellowish color. That means it is activated.

With this set up you can now put the turbulence field to distort the movement of the bubbles or speed a bit up theirs moves as they reach higher of the glass with uniform field. You can also change the random size of the bubbles if you put a small expression like this: particleShape1.radiusPP = rand(.1,.3); on the radiusPP attribute.
