How to connect MASH to nParticles dynamics
- [Voiceover] In our previous video we looked at ways to connect MASH networks and Maya particle systems to be able to use MASH almost like an advanced instancer with extra procedural controls. In this video we're gonna look at a different way to connect MASH networks and Maya particle systems. So first, let's make a very basic network. So again, we're gonna create a polygon cube, we're going to create a MASH network. Let's just open up our outliner in perspective view here and we're gonna reframe it. So like we've done a few times, we're gonna go to our distribute node, we're gonna change our distribution type to grid, I'm gonna change my grid settings to eight, eight, eight on distance and five, five, five on resolution just to get us a good starting point here. Okay, we got grid cubes. Alright so what we want to do now is with this MASH waiter selected in the outliner, we're gonna go Create, MASH, Utilities, Set up nParticles with an initial state from MASH. Okay so now in the…
