Here are two short tools currently in development that I made:

Mirror Texture Map
naMirrorUV.mel

and

Today I will start modeling a new prop which is my contemporary table lamp. The model is rather simple and I will also be useing a couple of pieces from my Antique table lamp to save some time. Why reinvent the wheel when you have parts that can be reused! All source files can be downloaded from my site at CGBoomer.com.

This movies shows how you can easily make pipes in Maya with Paint Effects.

In this tutorial we’ll see how to setup an parametric walk using the cmotion object of Cinema 4D R13.

This is a long tutorial dealing with how we can create a simple thunderstorm scene using just a few particle systems.

You will learn :
-How to set up and tune dynamic Hair and Emitter type particle systems
-How to animate (keyframe) properties other than transformations (such as,i.e.,the strength of a force field) for achieving complex effects.

In this first of 3 tutorials on Rotoscoping with Mocha for AE, Andrew Devis introduces the tools needed to work quickly and efficiently in Mocha to create shapes and output those shapes to AE. Andrew also discusses when and why at certain points it may be better to use masks in AE rather than shapes from Mocha. This is an introductory tutorial aimed at showing the basic functions of Mocha so that you can have more confidence when using this excellent product. In the second tutorial Andrew will go on to show how to do tracking in Mocha for AE and some of the issues that may arise with that. In the last tutorial Andrew goes on to show how to create the final shapes layers that represent the areas to be rotoscoped and then shows how to link and adjust those tracks and output the final shapes to After Effects.
