Maya Particle FX Test Version 1

This was an early test in my quest to achieve particles in my projects. I used Maya’s legacy particles not nParticles as they are sometimes quicker to compute.

Breakdown:

The first clip (red/yellow particles): 2 particle systems here with 10 - 20 driving particles (small white ones), which are driven by a newton and turbulence field.

A second particle system (the yellow and red particles) which I goaled to the first.  I gave driving system a lifespan of like 5 seconds so when they die new particles spawn and the second system goes a bit crazy trying to find new goal particles.

The second and third clips are the same set up where there are now 3 particle systems, 1 driving particles, one cluster particles that are goaled to the drivers and a third system emitting from the second system. The only difference are 3 turbulence fields with different settings driving the motion.
