Mihai Panait has a new video tutorial online showing the creation of a melting teapot with FumeFX, 3dsMax2010, and Final Render.

In this tutorial, I’ll try to simulate the melting of a teapot, using Fume FX. This demonstrates the usage of texture maps as a fuel generator in Fume FX. Please note that this scene is modeled in 3DSMax 2010 so you will need this version of the software to open the project files. Anyway if you follow the tutorial you can complete it in any previous version of the software.

Update 10/13 – Sorry folks, looks like the author disabled Embed on this tutorial.  Go watch it over on Vimeo at FumeFX 04 – Melting Teapot
