Important sag-aftra isn't a union, it's a guild. This means they can controll who is available to work in any capacity on a project. A production has to pay SAG a fine every time it uses an actor who isn't part of the guild. The protections that SAG gives it's members are usually very little other than health insurrance…
Well, it's up to you to keep your project in a state that behaves well at a smooth 60+fps at all times for proper interaction. That's true with any software - be it painting or sculpting or word processing.
I just started a Maya users group in Seattle, WA. I am looking for experienced Maya users willing to give a 45-60 minute presentation on your work or technique to the group.
Maybe I'm not understand what you guys are trying to say, but this is the result I'm obtaining after adding a smoothing group with limit of 60 degree, and separated UVs.
