Maya Python scripting tutorial, skinning

By mrEvil | Thursday, September 3, 2015 at 7:43am

Hi guys,

I worked out a little tutorial on how to script a very useful tool in Maya with Python that can transfer/copy skincluster and skinweights from one model to another.
Watch and download the script from here: http://blaabjergb.com/scripting/

It's very useful in production for when the assets get updated, or if there is a topology change.

Filmation

I am working on my degree in Entertainment Business and am currently looking to meet with anyone who worked at Filmation Studios in the 1980s to sit down with me for a few minutes and talk about their experiences working for that company. I want to learn more about how the studio operated from day to day.

Thanks

I'm a beginner and I don't know where to start.

I'm 15 and the idea of 2Danimation always fascinated me but I have no idea how or where to start.I have been researching different laptops,tablets,and software but the more I look the more confused I get! I don't need anything expensive or professional because I want to try this as a hobby for now (I've been looking mainly at used items). But the biggest problem I have is that I don't know exactly what I need. I'm afraid of buying items that aren't compatible or that arent exactly what I need. I'm very confused and I've been frustrated for a while. How do I get started and what do I need ?

Question about salaries and payment

Hello everyone,

I recently had an interview for an animation position involving video mapping. Essentially the job would entail creating animations that would be projected onto 3D objects at shows, parties or weddings. The business is a small one that works out of the owners house. I would be working from home and sending in my animations to him. He has asked me to determine what my pay would be and how I would go about receiving it.

WINDWALKERS!

Hi there! I'm new to the forum thank you for accepting me! I've been working for 2 years now on a badass animated series called WINDWALKERS, which really need you today and that is why I'm writing here. This is not a viral buzz campaign or anything like this, this really concerns a small creative studio and its survival!!

WINDWALKERS is based on the best selling sci-fi novel The Horde of the counterwind written by the French author Alain Damasio (also author of the AAA video game Remember me).
