RealFlow是由西班牙Next Limit公司出品的流体动力学模拟软件。它是一款独立的模拟软件，可以计算真实世界中运动物体的运动，包括液体。RealFlow提供给艺术家们一系列精心设计的工具，如流体模拟（液体和气体）、网格生成器、带有约束的刚体动力学、弹性、控制流体行为的工作平台和波动、浮力（以前在RealWave中具有浮力功能）。你可以将几何体或场景导入RealFlow来设置流体模拟。在模拟和调节完成后，将粒子或网格物体从RealFlow导出到其他主流3D软件中进行照明和渲染。
Maya 是目前世界上最为优秀的三维动画的制作软件之一，主要是为了影视应用而研发的，所以在出世后不久就在《精灵鼠小弟》、《恐龙》等这些大片中一展身手。除了影视方面的应用外Maya在三维动画制作，影视广告设计，多媒体制作甚至游戏制作领域都有很出色的表现。初识Maya 是目前世界上最为优秀的三维动画的制作软件之一，它是Alias|Wavefront公司在论坛1998年才推出的三维制作软件。虽然相对于其他老牌三维制作软件来说Maya还是一个新生儿，但Maya凭借其强大的功能，友好的用户界面和丰富的视觉效果，一经推出就引起了动画和影视界的广泛关注，成为顶级的三维动画制作软件。
VFXlearning Getting Wet with Realflow and Maya
In this intensive training series we will explore several production techniques used to generate different types of water simulations both in RealFlow and Maya. The goal of this course is to not only teach you how RealFlow operates, but also how to determine the best possible approach to complete the work, we will take into consideration constraints such as budget, time, computer power and scale and use this information to break down a series of shots and come up with the most cost effective and visually interesting result.
After spending years working in the VFX industry focused mainly in the creation of water simulations Luis Pages have managed to collect a pretty creative and solid series of tricks that for the first time will become available to his students. Students will learn to think outside the box and take full advantage of what both RealFlow and Maya have to offer. We will cover the creation of small to large water simulations, drips, splashes, foam, mist, spray, lakes, "abstract liquid simulations" and more.
