    Hi Lester,

    Great website! I just found your “most fun rigs for maya” list. Thank you!

    If you have the time, I recently finished a short called “Sproot”. Hope you enjoy it!

    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
    Andre

    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
    -Eugene

    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
