It all started well over a year ago now when I was approached by someone from LinkedIn Learning, formally Lynda.com (LinkedIn bought Lynda.com back in 2015). My name had been brought up by another instructor who does the Essential Maya Training courses as they had seen that I had been creating medical animation tutorials on my YouTube channel...

In this tutorial we will be looking at how to create a cell division cluster (Metaballs) in Autodesk Maya. This can also be applied to older versions of Maya but I am using Maya 2018 here. There are a few different ways you can approach cell division in Maya, but I think this is quite a simple and effective method... and it avoids scripting!

I spent my weekend down in Bristol at the Association Européenne des Illustrateurs Medicaux et Scientifiques (AEIMS) Congress 2015. The congress was hosted by the founder of Limbs and Things, Margot Cooper.

I had a truly wonderful weekend learning from some of the successful artists within the field of Medical and Forensic Art.
