In this high-level tutorial we will learn how to handle data between ICE clouds and get around many common issues in ICE and Lagoa. The objectives for this fast-pace, intensive course include successfully transferring data between two ICE trees, create custom particle effects and understand how data flows in Softimage. By the end of this training, you will have the ability to solve these types of ICE problems in your own projects. Before following along with this tutorial, you should have experience using Softimage and ICE as we cover what would normally take hours to accomplish in a shorter span of time. If you are an artist new to Softimage, ICE or Lagoa, we have several courses to get you started.

In this series of lessons we will learn how Maya and RealFlow can be used together for our projects. We will begin this course by learning how to import RealFlow meshes into Maya, and we will go step-by-step through the process of adding lights, materials and proper render settings to mimic appearance of realistic glass and liquid materials.
