Cutout paper character animation for DAS
I was lucky enough to be a part of the beautiful DAS project, which was made at the ProgressiveFX studio in Prague. What I did were the animations. The goal was to create cutout paper style for looks (models and render) as well as for the animation. So we decided to animate the whole thing…

Pixar’s Renderman for free, PRman for everyone!
This press release produced a lot of noise in the animation community. Pixar is to release PRman for free (for non-commercial use).

Maya Tutorial: 02 How to create a sphere from a cube

I hope you didn’t do anything stupid afterwards, had a good long sleep and now you are fresh and ready for another useful Maya advice. I know how demotivating this is… Anyway, this time we will fix the cube so…

True photometric Lights in Maya and Linear Workflow.
Ok, here is my contribution to the Maya community. Now for physically-correct use of photometric lights built-in Mental Ray (as for Maya 2011 goes). I assume you already know all about linear workflow. If not, I recommend to study some materials on the web. Just enter “Maya Linear Workflow” in Google. One link though… this…

Anomalia — učitelé z Pixaru.
Abych teda dokončil zápisky z workshopu charakterové animace v Litomyšli, protože je mi jasné že z tohoto skvostu moderní literatury bude čerpat ještě několik příštích generací, tak tady jsou. Samozřejmě v potu a krvi po bezesné noci. Studenti s Driphou (v růžovém) Andrew L. Schmidt Po Drifa Benseghir nás přijel učit Andy Schmidt z Pixaru. Ostřílený…

Anomalia, workshop charakterové animace.
Sem si říkal, že i když má tento workshop svůj vlastní blog, tak i přes to napíšu nějaké své poznatky. Tahle anomálie (to znamená workshop charakterové animace s učiteli z Pixaru na území České Republiky) se vyskytla v Litomyšli a to přímo na zámku ve, zdá se nově vybudovaném, evropském školícím centru. Sešlo se nás tu deset…
