http://graphics.pixar.com - Still solving problems rendering shave with mayaman and maya. - Great words from a techincal staff of cafeFx "Dedicate yourself to understanding what you are trying to achieve and understand the "insides" of the tools you are choosing. Too many talented artists get "choked" by the possibilities of the software, while the limitation should become the human brain only. Create your own personal standards, facing the deadlines given. After delivering, especially if completion was successful, go on and improve on your own time and come up with more accentuated and elaborated setups. Always attack the shots you have with the most pipeline-driven mentality. Try to build a setup that will not only allow your effects goal to be reached but will also make the next 100 shots achieve the same homogenic quality. At first it will take more time to determine rules to drive your particles versus animated keys and events. But in the long run, it will allow you to grow your workflow and capability to reach higher grounds." |

| - Every day is similar this week. People don't know something I find trivial while I still don't understand something they know years ago. Scene referencing, hair system setup, influence editing, skin weight editing, uv and shader transfer, motion transfer, namespace editing, wrap deformer editing, mayaman rendering, and unknown maya errors.
