Re: H14 is out !

It was a different mindset compared to Softimage, but even back in 2006 on "The Ant Bully" the ROPs were very powerful and easy to transfer between scenes. I haven't looked into them lately though. On Thu, Jan 22, 2015 at 2:14 PM, Chris Johnson wrote: > It's been a while and I didn't use them ex

Re: Teaching Unreal vs Unity

@ Siew Yi Lang I felt compelled to respond to your review of Unity because of certain inaccuracies and/or misconceptions. I hope that you do not feel slighted as this is not a personal attack at all. Although my day job now deals with commercial/film/vfx, I have worked on several AAA game titles i

@Nicolas Esposito "In the end you could end up spending A LOT of money just to have some basica stuff which you could code ( if you have the knowledge... ) For me Unity is a good engine for a team project, not for a personal one." I think that you might benefit from considering thinking from a

Re: IK/FK Leg setup

Hi Sofronis, Yeah, its perfectly acceptable as far as Maya goes. Even for the conditional nodes, you'll need to compare colors--think of it as a triple scalar comparison node :P The nodes in Maya do evaluate much faster than constraints. Expressions should be a last resort; they are more often tha

Re: Need your opinion to improve Maya Outliner/ Attribute Editor

Maybe it is the workflow of the documentation and how it is differently organized. For example: Not being able to highlight a command in Maya and hit F1 like you can in Softimage or Maya not having an equivalent to the SDK explorer like we do in Softimage Or perhaps that Maya's documentation is

What is the image size? You can speed up your performance just by using a half rez proxy to work with and reassign if you need to use it for renders. On Tue, Nov 25, 2014 at 9:42 AM, Cristobal Infante wrote: > Hi guys, > > Trying to load image sequences into a grid or image plane in Maya and the

Not painful at all ;) All you have to do is select everything in the set except for what you want to remove and create a new set, delete the old one, and rename your new set to the old name. What could be simpler? :P On Wed, Nov 19, 2014 at 9:33 AM, Peter Agg wrote: > You can middle click drag t
