Re: Xumi plugin (iconized marking menus in maya)
i think i can dig it out from my backups later - but beware that it's really old and uses plugin-binaries for some of the functionality that won't run on a recent maya. i think my release only runs on maya 4.0.x, possibly on 4.5 or 5.0, not sure - it's been four years... plugins unfortunately are totally version-dependant. -

[Maya] Modeling Toolkit Questions

Varga Hair - Maya Issue
Hey, not sure if this belongs here but for a small project the team wants a fuzzball (ball covered in fur pretty much), it's to run on a vita so the only viable method is alpha mapping and so far the best technique has been the Afro section on this tutorial as they require furry ball and what better than an afro (it's… -
