The program is doing something normally requiring laser scanning or the like, so for rotated images it does require a decent mask to work. The help files goes into detail about masking. If you have a clear background color setting the mask is fairly simple, you usually only have to paint out a few bits here and there. On…
I would strongly recommend against the 12" cintiq - I have one and it works, but it feels really crowded (especially next to my 28" monitor) and only goes up to 1280x960. Wacom tablets in general though are totally awesome. I've got an Intuos 3 at work, and an original (has a serial port!) Intuos at home that I've had…

so I did several searches on google and the best tutorial I came up with was one using CS R2. http://www.3dlinks.com/LinkSender3.cfm?ID=2588 I was really excited until I discovered that they got rid of the IK panel in CS 4 so I can't do the IK blending like the tutorial suggests. I can get feet to anchor perfectly, but I…
true. It's also getting shockingly easy to do now as well. The Alias forums really aren't much of a place to talk in any more either. Mainly because I think only 3 people can ever actually find the blasted things since the site update last year. They have to be the most awkwardly place section of the site I've come across.…
Hey everyone, I had posted this project a little while back, but made a new account & made some updates to the scene. One of the best feedback's I received that time was the youtube link to the video that talks about Sci-Fi mistakes and greebles (spelling?). I've been working on 3 separate projects but came back to this…
Most recent update: https://youtu.be/SrHIYigmnAc Hey Polycounters! It's been a while since I've posted sadly because Senior Year is absolutely crazy but I'm trying to be better about getting my work back up on here. I have a couple projects that I'm working on at the same time for different classes, but this is the one I'm…
Hello, I`ve been studying VFX in my free time, watching a couple of tutorials and so on. I bought 1 year subscription at CMIFX to get more materials and I saw a couple of new tutorials and I can`t see the difference between CINEMA 4D and Houdini (I know they`re different software, but what unique features do they have?). I…
Hey All, Been a long time since I've posted anything on here. Been doing a lot of that artistic soul searching. For a while now I've wanted to start doing stylized work, but made a ton of excuses as to why I couldn't. So finally I buckled down and am starting to build a new portfolio. Another thing I've been slacking on is…
