We start off by exploring some uses for the 2D fluid container by creating an ink dissolve effect. From here we continue with creating smoke and fire in the form of flaming meteorites, in this part of the tutorial we'll be looking at not only creating and shading the smoke and fire but also integrating nparticles with Maya fluids. In the final parts of this tutorial we cover how to use animated geometry to sculpt fluids. 

By the time you're finished with this tutorial you will have some insight into how Maya fluids work and how you can use nparticles alongside fluids, as well as applying geometry to get more control over your fluid simulations.
