Finger Twitches: February 2011

http://derangedartisan.blogspot.com/2011_02_01_archive.html

Wednesday, February 9, 2011. In beautiful Vancouver, and just got my Wacom back! As a celebration for getting my Wacom Tablet back with all my other stuff from Germany, I decided to dedicate a little bit of time to the neglected child and did a small b/w painting study. Was definitely fun, and I am sure I will attempt to do the same thing again, but in color. Hope you enjoy! Posted by Dimitry Kachkovski. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

Finger Twitches: February 2013

http://derangedartisan.blogspot.com/2013_02_01_archive.html

Wednesday, February 20, 2013. Storing attribute values with Maya API. This problem occurred as I was working on a tool that created attributes via maya api, and I had to set certain values on those attribs, and as I did so, I would save the file, and then re-open it, to find that the values I set were not being saved. Here is my original code:. Import maya.OpenMaya as om import maya.OpenMayaAnim as oma depFn = om.MFnDependencyNode() setObj = depFn.create("objectSet", "SaveLoadAnim") uAttr...

Finger Twitches: December 2012

http://derangedartisan.blogspot.com/2012_12_01_archive.html

Friday, December 7, 2012. Alternative to maya.standalone. First of all, I need to give credit to Henry Foster for a wonderful post that allowed me to clarify the use of subprocess and how to get the data from it. Here is his original post. Now I'll take a bit to clarify what I am doing in the code. The first part:. Paths = sys.path rootPath = None for path in paths: if os.path.exists(path " Maya.exe"): rootPath = path " mayapy.exe" break. Elif message = "Goodbye": reply = "Leaving already? Cartoons, Mode...

Finger Twitches: Debugging Models and Views using ModelTest

http://derangedartisan.blogspot.com/2014/02/developing-models-and-views-using.html

Tuesday, February 25, 2014. Debugging Models and Views using ModelTest. If you are like me, and spend quite a bit of time making new tools that always seems to require more and more advanced ways of working with QModels and QViews, you might have ran into issues with Segmentation Faults and general problems where it is very hard to tell where an how you've gone wrong. QT has a very neat little module in it's C library called ModelTest. Using ModelTest is super simple:. Posted by Dimitry Kachkovski. The A...

Finger Twitches: A soap bubble shader - first RSL learning experience

http://derangedartisan.blogspot.com/2014/10/a-soap-bubble-shader-first-rsl-learning.html

Monday, October 20, 2014. A soap bubble shader - first RSL learning experience. So as i start my process in moving towards LookDev and lighting departments, one of the necessary upgrades to my skill-set is learning shader development, specifically using renderman and RSL. So following a nice tutorial on digital tutors, this here is the result of my very first shader! Posted by Dimitry Kachkovski. February 9, 2015 at 7:25 PM. Can you post the RSL you used to achieve the various portions? BJ and the Blog.

Finger Twitches: Learning OpenGL

http://derangedartisan.blogspot.com/2015/04/learning-opengl.html

Thursday, April 23, 2015. So I have finally decided to get down and dirty with learning OpenGL from the ground up, and what better way to do it then to write your own 3D viewer, which is exactly what I did. To those who are observant, the viewer should look familiar as I am learning through the tutorials by Joey de Vries. Posted by Dimitry Kachkovski. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

Tuesday, October 28, 2014. I completely forgot to actually post the Henchmen Teaser, our lookdev piece, or a short, that basically sets the design and idea for our upcoming feature animated film with the same name - "Henchmen", which has gotten quite some publicity over the last few months ( http:/ www.hollywoodreporter.com/behind-screen/siggraph-gary-sanchez-productions-produce-725064.

Finger Twitches: July 2012

http://derangedartisan.blogspot.com/2012_07_01_archive.html

Monday, July 2, 2012. Some "Mind Glitches" about MFnSkinCluster and MPlug. It's been a while since anything appeared here, but that is due mainly because in the last half a year I have quite seriously moved more and more towards the technical side of life in 3D, and so there weren't so many updates to show for drawing. However, I now intend to write a little on what I am finding now that I am being more involved in the tools and plugin dev at my new job at Bron Studios. If you would try to check the amou...
