Help (20)

[satquiel]

Sorry to disturb with this. I need to redo in Maya the logo on the following page:
http://www.chemistryme.com/
(The blue like plastic shape). I will also need to animate it as in stretch the other bubbles from the center and make them bigger.
I would really appreciate any help on the subject (tutorials, shaders, .obj).
Thanks again.

I'm sorry to Double post, but i REALLY need help with this. Regarding the Particles things, i'm not sure what you mean. In all honesty, i'm most probably a novice in comparencent to you. I would really appreciate it if you cud explain how to do it or if you know of a website that has a tutorial that explains how.

paste this into a empty scenes script editor to get the basic shape:

you may need to adjust the treshold and radius of the particles. as a shader i would say you want a dielectric shader. Because its reflective you may also add a environmant to reflec thats invisible for primary rays.

CODE
particle -p 0 3 0 -p 0 -3 0 -p 3 0 0 -p 0 0 -3 -p -3 0 0 -p 0 0 3  -p 0 0 0 -c 1;
setAttr particleShape1.particleRenderType 7;
addAttr -is true -ln "threshold" -at "float" -min 0 -max 10 -dv 0 particleShape1;
addAttr -is true -ln "radius" -at "float" -min 0 -max 20 -dv 1 particleShape1;
setAttr "particleShape1.radius" 1.961;
setAttr "particleShape1.threshold" 0.172;

red the mr manual. Anyway you must have mentalray loaded for you to find the mentalray material nodes.
