Maya api..

I hate Maya Api... The set up is ridiculous. I'm still in search of a really good tutorial but no luck, everything tutorial I find is either using the wizard (which is broken apparently) or manual set up which is also not complete. I need to find a good tutorial SOON! I wanna do some portfolio stuff in it.

But as far as my portfolio is concerned I have some great tools lined up.

One is a playblast tool. I found a video of this guy creating a playblast tool and I thought that I could make a better one, and I really like his approach to it so I will try to make a better one.

The second one is a Riggomatic machine that will allow the user to create pieces of a rig and combine the rig together like puzzle pieces. This is ideal for bipeds, quadrupeds and other things.

The last piece I can do is a few shades that will be done in renderman and a few shaders that will be done in 3ds max as well as my own raytracer. This will be fun ;O.
