I've been trying modo for the last 3 weeks and I must say that I'm really
impressed. The only draw back is the lack of modeling history.—

I don't think you'd need a big intro and/or outro, the fact the reel got
made should speak for itself
and you could open with a simple statement:
In March 2014 Autodesk annnounced the retirement of Softimage, this is

Hey Guys
So I'm getting into Maya, and so far it's horrible.
I realize that Maya animators must be more passionate about 3D than me,
because there is no way I would have put up with this shit for the last
10 years.
Rant aside, I was hoping someone could help me make sense of a few things.

Best line from a post this week:

I almost spit my coffee out from laughing so hard.

And to show I am not just here to laugh, the answer to #2 and #3 below:
#2: No, and whats more, do not fcheck while rendering. That has always been
a sure way to kill your render. Seriously, you have to specify the end frame
to be at least 2 or 3 frames BEFORE the current frame that is rendering
for #3 keep in mind that is NOT Scene explorer in Softimage, nor it
provides same functions so take care there.
Nodes in Maya were always kind of labyrinth to me and SI scene explorer was
fresh air giving real overview and control of everything in scene.
That is not something you have in Maya.
Not
Thanks for the link Luc-Eric, didn't know about that site / group before.

I have been using Cinema 4D and the thing that has impressed me is that the
plugins out there are really quite inexpensive.
I know this isn't a feature, but we cannot ignore the community that
surrounds the application, and the community around C4D seems very strong.
Anyway, the plugins are

Hi Guys,
Im trying to import some collada files that have vertex color information
included.
My tests so far on a single file frame with a color map lookup are working
fine.
Im just looking for a way to import a sequence where each file is on one
single frame of the sequence, is there a way to
1: selecting hierarchies:
I don’t understand why Maya insists on making the whole hierarchy green
when I only select the top node. What is the benefit of this, and can I
turn it off?
Its really annoying but you can now turn it off!! go to the Preferences,
then 'Selection' - there are
You could use a script to import the files and animate the visibility options
according to the file/frame number.
If I remember correctly there was an obj-sequence importer which does that. If
it really exists and my mind isn't just playing tricks on me, you should
probably find it on rray.de.
Out of the box for merging rigs and enveloped meshesas far for Maya2013
None that I know.I was very naive splitting the head from the body to
do the facial rig, thinking that I will be able to merge the whole thing
back easily as in Soft...
And I couldn't find a script to perform this

Use edit smooth skin - copy skin weights. Its better if you make a
selection of the verts that you want to copy over as selection sets. Not
ideal, but it works. (This is scriptable)

Hi. We have got a problem with the textures in CrowdFX.
We're using Royal Render and Redshift.
What's happening is that the crowd has no texture in the render when rendered
in RR.
But it renders fine on my workstation.
Mental Ray renders ok, but not all the time.

I really like that I can drag and drop FBX files into Maya. I had brought
some models for a project and unfortunatly there were about 20 seperate fbx
files all at 000 origin. I would have had to file-import each one into xsi
but in Maya I just dragged and dropped and then sent to Softimage.
