This might work. 1. Import the fbx. 2. Make sure it's an Editable Poly and run the script below to select hard edges' vertices. 3. Convert selection to edges. 4. Add Edit Poly modifier to remove explicit normals. 5. In Edit Poly set everything to one smoothing group. 6. Go into Edit Poly edge mode, selection should be…
Ok, Im going BIG. Not only the biggest characters Ive animated, but the most complex shot I've ever done. 3 character. humanoid / creature / mech. All done by Kiel. Ive done a first pass story board just to get my thoughts done. This will by no means be finished any time soon, but that's ok! 1 - character walks up to what…
Sorry about the mess on aisle 7! I just increased the flood control limits. You can now make up to 3 new threads every 4 minutes (max time limit the tool allows). We'll see if that helps. We have 2 spam filter plugins, which do catch a lot. We also use IP range blocking, when possible. The last batch of spam shared some of…
Mark knows his stuff so consider this an addendum . 4 - 7 : Max's snapping is more powerful than Maya's, it's a little inconvenient when you're used to holding down a key to turn it on and it does take a little time to get your head round it but persevere and you'll be cursing Maya for it's snapping ineptitude in no time.…

Sad to hear Titan got canceled. I was looking forward to what Blizzard might have shown. MMOs dont seem to be as big as they were say 4 or 5 years ago. The people who made WOW hit 13 million subs ( i think it was 13 mil) like and including me have all aged a fair deal and dont have time for the massive time sink an MMO…
I wanted to share a recent experience that proves that hiring doesn't always come down to ones portfolio or profile and transparency in a company's standing and hiring process could be improved. Its a challenging time in the industry so even if there's interest it may not necessarily mean that the company is actually…
Atkins definitely can work. It just isn't for me. Personally, I don't consider cycling "intense" exercise, unless you are racing or going at about that intensity level. I had really severe fatigue issues when trying to do exercise on Atkins. My exercise program is probably a bit more strenuous than most people on this…
