https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9lcB9u-9mVEOnce upon a time, I used to be a computer animator. I haven't worked in the industry in years, but I still get angry when I see stuff like this. And the irony is: I actually live in one of those cities that offers generous subsidies to Hollywood studios to lure work across the border. And the even greater irony is: those companies are treating their employees rather shabbily and illegally (unpaid overtime, anyone?). I could go on and on, but it comes down to the fact that people everywhere think that the computer does all the work, and therefore they shouldn't have to pay the ARTIST manipulati...

As reported in the Atlantic, the first computer artwork was, it turns out, a 1950's George Petty pinup rendered on a military computer:http://www.theatlantic.com/technology/archive/2013/01/the-never-before-told-story-of-the-worlds-first-computer-art-its-a-sexy-dame/267439/

Hair curves from NURBS MEL Script

0 min read

So, been writing a quick and dirty Maya MEL script to extract hair curves from NURBS surfaces. Idea is to model the base hair as simple NURBS geometry for the hairstyle, and then extract a series of spline curves to be grouped together and attached to an existing simulated hair system in Maya. As the hair direction from the geometry can be aligned in U or V, I've added a switch to select which one is desired. So far, seems to do the trick- and seems to allow come pretty complex hairstyles to be made quite easily (weaves, braids, etc). Will post some experiments soon.Anyhow, thought I'd share (it's quick and dirty; written in a couple of h...
