Re: Expanding DBuffer Decals
Optimization There are 3 areas of optimization I want to talk about. 1. Material pins: There are now two pins that deal with decal opacity: Opacity & MultiOpacity.

Re: Need Maya 2008 workflow advice urgently
I created some user marking menus for some of the functions that I use on a regular basis (and also made some very simple scripts for things like mirroring and instancing etc) Just stick em in your 'My Documents\maya\x.x\prefs\markingMenus' then goto Window > Settings/Preferences > Marking Menu Editor.

Re: How do you join a textured and retopologised head to a body mesh?
Well ... to some extent you've pretty much answered your own question already : you get the output from Wrap, then attach it to whatever body you need it to be attached to (either by actually welding verts, or by just manipulating normals at the edges to make things visually seamless). Wrap3 doesn't "autoretopo" anything… -
Re: Advice for Beginner Artist
Before you dive into all the myriad of software and techniques out there, learn the fundamentals. Its way too easy to get overwhelmed with the amount of software out there. If you decided you wanted to be a pilot, would you start by flying fighter jets from an aircraft carrier - worrying about which one to use first? No,… -
