@Ben - Out of curiosity, what are the limits of doing your company trick? Can you stay more than 3 months for a long job? What if you have family, kids in school, etc? -- Ben Davis www.moondog-animation.com +33 6 88 48 54 50 On Fri, Apr 26, 2013 at 12:40 AM, Ben Beckett nebbeck...@gmail.com

Re: Pixar OpenSubdiv and Autodesk webinar

Crease sets didn't exist before? Been creasing in SI for years! All the CPU/GPU computing, tesselation etc was very cool though, exciting times ahead where we'll have way more info on screen. Thanks for posting the webinar! -- Ben Davis www.moondog-animation.com +33 6 88 48 54 50 On Thu, Apr

Re: Camera distance to an object

Makes sense, thanks Tim! That means that the info from the Distance to Output Camera is doing exactly what you need Emilio, since when centered the ICETree info matches perfectly. -- Ben Davis www.moondog-animation.com +33 6 88 48 54 50 On Fri, Mar 29, 2013 at 10:31 AM, Tim Leydecker bauero

Re: Softimage Jedi Training

Great idea! I also like 2, 3 and 4. 6 and 7 would be really useful since you can lose a lot of time trying to make tools usable by others. Are you thinking of the GoToMeeting plan that allows you to manage the class and everything, or the simpler webinar mode? What time and in what timezone are
