There is a strong interest from our attendees to learn techniques for this industry and we would like to offer a class on that topic. If you are working on that kind of project and would like to share insights, techniques and tips and tricks, we would love to hear from you. You can have a look at the process of submitting a class on the Autodesk University web site http://au.autodesk.com/ and/or contact me directly to talk about the lecture outline you intend to propose.

Over the years, I haven't seen too many good sources of consistently good information about Maya and rigging. Even schools seem to be a little lost when it comes to providing clear and logical information for students of rigging. With that in mind, I have been trying to develop reference guides for Maya artists. With the increasing popularity of iPad and the development of their iBook Author tool, it seemed like a good time to start putting something together. With that in mind, I've written several interactive guides for Maya, describing and developing tools texturally and in videos. Each book focuses on a specific area. The first book is about Joint Tools and Binding, the second is about Deformers, and the third is about Controls... There are always free samples available in the iBookstore, but the first volume (Joints and Binding Basics) is currently free, until May 18th. I would love some feedback.

In the next 5 short video tutorial, I show you how to create a HumanIK and bring it into ipisoft DMC for pre-visualization and how to export the captured animation into your own character inside Maya. Unfortunately, there were a lot of unrelated noise in the background, therefore, I removed the sound and added a short summary for each video. Hope this helps.

It's basically a graphics engine and also a fast GPU based renderer. The basic rule is - "You have 100% preview of what you'll see in your game or standalone application". This includes logics and mechanics. Here's a [url=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uBXHwcNhJFk]movie[/url] showing how pico was used for making "Linger In Shadows" released by Sony for Playstation3.
