there is also "Mental mill - artist edition" which is node-based just like ShaderFX, and comes free with Nvidia's FX Composer 2.0. the app is standalone and can dump shader code, as well. (fx composer itself feels a bit bloated imo) the Cg Tutorial book, eventhough old, has some nice basic stuff. The Cg Manual (in here…
[ QUOTE ] Looks Allright, here are some crits: The head loobs a bit strange, especially the jaw, it need to to be less curvy and the checks bones at the front look to fat from what i can see.

About three years ago, I had to learn Maya after seven years of using Max. It was quite painful because I ran into a lot of Maya's quirks and bugs early on. This isn't to say that Maya has more bugs than Max, it's just that I ran head-on into them due to the nature of my work. After six months or so, I found fixes for the…

The beeping sound only happens for me when I press the Alt key and then press any button on the keyboard without clicking my mouse. What I did was I went to "Change System…
This is my favorite area. Brickwork, metal plating, industrial signs and mechanisms, pipes and pillars, good variety. Block out goals: See if I can create the assets appropriate for an initial replication of the top section. There's a fair amount of repetition on the structure. I'm adopted a 1mx1m = single square tile,…
First of all sorry if this is the wrong section for these questions, I figured the talented animators here could be useful. I will try to keep this as short as possible but it will probably be still pretty long so I cover all bases. So I am currently apart of a team which is going through some tender business transitions,…
