Hey guys, I felt compelled to create a video tutorial explaining how great the new 3D cut and sew tool is in Maya 2018. Check out the video, this workflow has improved quality of life greatly.EDIT, here is an updated video since the tool has changed a bit since I original made this post, this video is also shorter and has…
I just wanted to post another update. I think this is the final scene that I like. I brightened all the colors, added variations in the trees, and tried to use somewhat of a color palette to make my decisions. The fence was changed from before to this nicer more "What you would think a fence would look like" kind of look.…
Hey folks, I've put together a small Python script to hopefully make it a touch easier to generate high quality 16-bit heightmaps from elevation data (mainly USGS), suitable for use in game engines. If that sounds like something you would be interested in, check out the code and instructions over at…
Hey ya'll, I'm trying to wrap particularly long hair planes with a curve insert mesh brush in Zbrush along a hair shell. I cannot get the full shell in one camera view. Is there a way to extend or add-on a painted curve stroke after it's been applied?

ohohhhohoWWW! Thanks very much Juan. I really appreciate a lot your help and feedback. About the master you are right but, I wan to have the possibility in the future to build the rig out of [0,0,0] just if someone needs it. And it is better if the master is completely free. Anyway, we know that the initial position of the…
So I was feeling artsy and wanted to creat something just on a whim, and I found an old head I made for the generals challenge waaaaaay back when. So I loaded her up in zbrush and went at it. I have no direction at this point, im just pushing and pulling and going with what comes out. Let me know what ya think, and toss…
When I render with Maya (using Mental Ray) it almost always freezes so I have no clue how far the render has been processed. Technicaly there is no reason for Maya to freeze as I have all my cpu cores but one under 100% load. The one that's not used for rendering is used for the explorer and other programs, but why isn't…
