Here's my vote for a challenge. Do each of these in Softimage and Maya using only the factory supplied tools. No external plug-ins allowed, no building custom C++, Python, etc., tools.
Challenge 1 - build the game Space Invaders Challenge 2 - build a crowd system Challenge 3 - build a raytracer Challenge 4 - build a 2D tracking system Oh wait.... Paul already did those in Softimage using ICE. Ok Maya expert, your turn. -PG On Wed, Mar 19, 2014 at 3:41 PM, David Gallagher < [email protected]> wrote: > > I've been thinking of doing some videos entitled "You can't buy this" and > showing the amazing things I can do with Softimage facial rigging.
