Its not uncommon to sim and render fluids with dynamics attributes higher than 1, but that tends to lead to issues in shading and rendering since maya’s internal fluid shader defaults to 0-1 value mapping. Yay! I mean, YAY there’s a workable solution!The draw backs to this is not being able to see your ramps entirety, altho you could write a MEL script that just displays your ramp on another ramp…

Here’s the thing. Its not about how did I or why did I do something in a scene. Its a process. I start with 1 fluid 1 emitter kinda low rez (50×50x50′ish) I turn everything on, b/c I know what I’m doing and what I want to make I set only 3 attrs damp 0.01 swirl 10 temp turb 5, the second 2 are just the sliders all the way up. Playblast. Hmm looks like the fuel isn’t burning fast enough, turn up reaction speed and turn down ignition temp. playblast. Hmm looks like temp isn’t fading out now. Turn up dissipation. playblast. Nope not enough, turn up more. playblast. Hmm looks too regular.

Effects house, CIS Vancouver used mocha assist in the process of applying "digital makeup", cuts & bruises to the rugby teams of "Invictus".

“mocha was able to quickly and accurately track large patches of screen area with sometimes little or no detail. With the ability to run concurrent multiple tracks on the same shot, I was extremely happy at how quickly we could start in on each scene and get shots up for review.” – Bruce Woloshyn, CIS Vancouver

“Comedy is serious business,” deadpans Michael L. Fink , visual effects supervisor on Ben Stiller’s outrageous new comedy, Tropic Thunder. And Fink should know. An Academy Award winner for his work on last year’s The Golden Compass , Fink has supervised everything from X2 to Wargames, but Tropic Thunder was the proverbial glass of cold water in his veteran’s face.
