Making something, for real?
I have always been fascinated by objects; weird, out of this world even ordinary things. I guess that is the reason why I started doing 3D graphics, my fascination for things I could not get for real. A while ago, though, while watching a a talk Adam Savage, the crazy ginger on Mythbusters, did at TED. This made me… -
Mirroring UVW's from the center
Hello everyone! So I was watching this video on hand painting techniques and was curious how to "mirror UV's from the center" If you notice how he creates his leather straps, the wrappings are seamless. I cannot find anything on the internet on how to do this, not sure if it's just too specific of a request for a google… -

Video Tutorial: Using same procedural 3D texture in Displacement and Render
Here is a new video tutorial on using the same procedural 3D texture in a Displace Modifier and still being able to use it in your material for rendering. This technique gets around problems with using the default Object XYZ of 3D procedural textures where the pre-displaced UV coordinates in object space don't match the… -
Maya. Graph editor. Trouble with curves
Hi. I have some problems with editing curves in Maya graph editor. I created custom rig half by hand half in m-gear. I have some curves in rotation XYZ.

center to world in maya

Heres what I do to center objects; 1) Click on object 2) If the pivot point is not at the center of the object then I use "center pivot to object" or move the pivot to wherever I want the center to… -

I have some textures from Texture XYZ that I used in this image. Tips and crits are very welcomed. Adding textures from Texture XYZ is somewhat cumbersome…
