This is sort of a large question, big debatable topic. Depends on what you're wanting to do I guess. If you want to model from a concept and visualize that concept in 3D then go ahead. Google, Pinterest etc find something you like and make it. Good to ask permission beforehand though not necessarily required, If you're…
Hey guys. Thanks for sticking with the podcast. We actually get quite a few listeners even though we are on a less-frequent schedule. For now we will leave these in a "as time permits / as needed" basis. Keep sending in your episode suggestions. I try to collect all the suggestions I get and if there is a request we will…
yeah the good old after work beer exists for a reason, socializing with your mates outside of work will not only strenghten your personal connection with your colleagues but also help you understand them better. i haven´t realy experienced what you are talking about personally, but i´ve seen it on others. often its simply…
OK, done. Get the script here: http://www.greveson.co.uk/scripts/maya/mopRevealReference.mel Put it in your My Documents/maya/scripts/ folder.

Thanks ya'll. I do see that the indent could use a once over. It is a little distracting. I'm going to redo the LP version and maps/bakes etc, as that did not come out so well for my final presentation. I have a few days till the next semester starts, but don't have ZBrush or a tablet at home so that part will have to come…
