Python snippets (Maya) for the budding TD Part 1

Over the last 2-3 years, I've been involved in Maya based team projects with students.  I've seen all of the common issues that come up - mostly from just not following the protocols they were told to use when working within a team project, and just bad file management in general.

As part of a group project last year for my class, I decided to take a lot of these problems out of their hands and automate them with tools specifically designed to manage parts of the pipeline and work flow.

No sleep in this bedroom...


I've had this film for a while now, and since its been some time since my last blog post, I figured that this would be a great way to kick things off for 2015.

From Bedrooms to Billions is a feature length (2.5 hours) documentary of the rise and fall of the gaming industry started in the United Kingdom back in the late 70's and early 80's.  What I loved about this story (and the reason I was happy to throw my support on the kickstarter and indiegogo campaigns) is that it truly is the story of my childhood.
