I really enjoyed looking around your site; I like what you have done with it. Great compilation of information!
Awesome site you’ve got here, been using this as my number one Maya resource for quite some time. Truly appreciate the work you do to put all the goodies in one place!
You have an awesome site!
I’m looking for a tutorial for Maya or Blender on how to do a bullet trail as seen in this video.

Thanks for your work, it’s definitely the most active of my feeds and is very broad and interesting. I have a delicious account that might be of interest to 3D geeks, TDs and the such: http://www.delicious.com/schmonsequences
Hi Lester
Great website have picked up a few tips and stuff.
I have a question though… with Ruins for Maya (have been messing around with it) is it possible to increase the weight(tried the mass but nothing really happens) of the shards cause when they land after doing an explosion they are still very bouncy.
Thanks

Hello Lester,
Great website! really been of a great help.
well i have a question…. How to create a Pose2Shelf in Maya? the one you have created for various shapes for the mouth.
Hi Lester
Thanks for listing my tutorial on the ink splat in cinema 4d, I’ve just started and the feedback has been great so far, allowing my video to be featured on other sites really helps get the word out there.
There are also two free models on the site for C4d users and I’ll hopefully continue to upload content on a weekly basis.
Thanks again

THank you for your web site ! it is very good that i can find tutorials from all peoples who do them ! thank you very much !
I visit here just about everyday seeing if anything new is posted. In which everyday, something usually is posted! Also was just wondering why you dont have any links to Ryan Maffesoli’s tutorials on Maya? He has some excellent tutorials on Vimeo. Although all are over an hour long, they are great videos as he explains everything very detailed. e.g. The Mia_Material which he posted 6 months ago is over an hour, but he goes through every attribute of the robust material. Here is a link to his page if anyone is interested. http://vimeo.com/maffr/videos/page:2/sort:newest
