Scott I feel for ya buddy, it seems like there really is "no country for industry vets". I had a bunch of friends that worked for Humongous Entertainment and when they switched from 2D to 3D most of them decided it was a good time to leave the industry.

Prismacolor makes some seriously inferior products, and this pencil is no exception, though i do find myself using it a lot.

I am trying to understand how MEL works beyond the regular commands that we get from Maya and I would appreciate everyone's help to increase my knowledge beyond this point. I am having problems with a selection script I want…
Today marks the 72nd day of my 180-Day topology improvement journey. As you may know, I’ve been practicing on Blender every day and sharing my progress with you. However, today was a bit different.
