- nHair
Maya nHair lets you create a dynamic hair system so you can model realistic hairstyles and hair behavior. Since nHair is a generic dynamic curve simulation, you can also use these curves to create non-hair effects.
- nCloth
nCloth is a fast and stable dynamic cloth solution that uses a system of linked particles to simulate a wide variety of dynamic polygon surfaces. For example, nCloth is flexible enough to simulate all the following surfaces: fabric clothing, inflating balloons, shattering surfaces, and deformable objects.
- Paint Effects
Paint Effects is a unique paint technology that lets you paint strokes on a 2D canvas to create 2D images or textures, or to paint strokes in a scene to create paint effects in 3D space.
