Re: Feather System
First of all, thanks for sharing this Fabricio - it looks awesome. On the note of suggestions, I was thinking it would also be great for creating and animating leaves on vegetation , so if the feathers could for instance be dynamic (ruffling feathers like this: https://vimeo.com/117516769) and even be blown off, it would expand the usage quite a bit. Can't wait to play with it :) Cheers Morten Den 24. januar 2015 kl. 17:45 skrev Fabricio Chamon xsiml...@gmail.com: thanks everyone. I might do some adjustments on the next days...small little things that can improve workflow a bit, all based on people feedback.

Re: Maya freelance list
I totally agree with you on this one Raf - the change on this list is quite noticeable since the Soft EOL announcement, and I was actually thinking I would really be missing something in my daily routines without this list and the excellent company here, not to mention all the invaluable help I have gotten from you guys over the years. I will definately keep checking in here pretty much every day, regardless how much Maya will pester my life from now on. Cheers Morten Den 23. januar 2015 kl. 22:38 skrev Raffaele Fragapane raffsxsil...@googlemail.com: On a more serious note, I honestly don't mind it if people bring Houdini, Maya, ZBush and whatnot into this list. I of course only speak for myself here, I don't know what the general consensus is in those regards, though it seems rather friendly when these subjects come up. I'd rather it stays alive with good company in it as a general CG list than seeing it wither and die completely because Soft was killed. It'd feel pretty wasteful and sad if a community that had qualities transcending the software was to get lost completely.

Re: Cobweb compound

I definitly know that theres a compound out there for this. 2015-01-26 19:19 GMT+01:00 Nuno Conceicao nunoalexconcei...@gmail.com: Hi list I'm looking for a cobweb compound that creates a decent looking spiderweb with some dynamics (gets ruptured when the camera goes through it). Its nothing like the aging cobweb compound already available online, it has to look like a spider web with some degree of customization. Was wondering if someone is interested in taking this task, but I'm afraid the budget to do this effect is rather small so, if maybe someone did something like this in the past would be interested in sell the compound or improve an existing one would be an option.
