dkAnim.mel

So this is another tool similar to zooXferAnim, where you can import/export animation channels to a new file.

For instructions on installing/using it, follow the instructions on the last post on this thread.

Scott Cho: Blocking Pass 3(AFG)

Hey guys. I am still having an issue with timing of feet in a running scene. Do you guys think that guy's feet are staying on the ground too long?

A little tool for inspiration

So, I just found this on Cameron Fielding's blog. It's a little tool he wrote to help him really think about his shot as he is working on it and to push his work. Its filled with pieces of advices from, among others: Frank & Ollie,Brad Bird,Carlos Baena,Bobby Beck,Glen Keane.

Mike Grabski - Maya Loading issue

I was wondering if anyone had this issue.  To give a little background on the issue, I have one scene where all of my world elements are(buildings and such) where I have been importing my rigs for animation.  After coming back to my scene to do some work on it, Maya loads the file but gets stuck at 98% while reading the Morphus rig file.  It basically freezes Maya entirely and I am sitting staring at my computer scratching my head.
I tried to reference the scene with all of my animation and it took a second but loaded just fine.
Does anyone have an idea on how to "fix" my original file so that I don't have to copy all of my animation onto another rig or god forbid reanimate.
Also I am wondering if this is an issue with working on a student version of maya at home.  When I force Maya to close that's when the "This file was created using a student, blah blah" then it closes.  Normally that would pop up right before the scene fully loaded.
I have saved the file as a maya ascii and I have found the line of code that declares your scene as student work.  So I guess an additional question is, if I need to get rid of that "student version" prompt what do I need to replace that line of code with to see if that is what is causing the problem.

Anthony Merola- Camera Language and Composition

So I just found this website, with this AMAZING PDF on shot composition and camera language. This is a great resource for setting up demo reel pieces.
