Hey guys, On the project I am working on right now I found myself going back and forth to the Maya Grid Options quite a lot. After a while I found it really tedious and time consuming. At the same time I find the window size way too big (and it also shows too many options that you set once and then you forget about): so…
Hello Polycount! Here is an article/tutorial I wrote yesterday and basically it's about creating a turbulent-like movement for particles without using a vector field or similar. It felt better reposting it here rather than just linking to my website (good or bad idea? layout got worse). I'd love to hear your thoughts, if…

For my initial post I will limit it to films and shorter OVA series, less than the standard 13 episode season. Anything by Miyazaki/Studio Ghibli: Seriously. You'll hear this…
In my experience, you get what you pay for. I've been burned too often by AMD and ATI to really give them much consideration, now that they've teamed up I hear its gotten a little better but you should stay in "their family" and not mix and match Nvidia with AMD. I hear ATI driver support hasn't gotten much better since…
Thanks for the kind words, everyone! A few responses below: adam: Thanks Adam. If you scroll over the images on my portfolio it tells you what I did on the specific scene. I would have loved to show more of a technical breakdown of the scenes, but only to help the community, not help myself. A lot of times showing process…
