Select face or two edges and run "Surface Attach".

Bypass the namespaces while seaking a string

Hi,

I am creating a class for string operations. I thought it will be useful for some people to have a utility in order to seek string throught namespaces.

DL Script

modify the last two lines :
- replace "test" by the string you want to find (you can type any : *myString*)
- print "Items" to see the list returned

search = StringUtility("test")
Items = search.searchString(0,0,1,10)

I hope it help !

The Macabre Waltz released

We were eleven students for our graduation short-film.

I was co-director on this film. I work on pipeline issues and FXs (nCloth, nParticule, fluids) and I supervised the layout 2D/3D, the compositing , shave, and I edited the short.

I've created all the cells intro and flashes.

HAMNASYA

Hi everyone and happy Christmas !

I've been involved recently in simulating cap and cloath for horse riders at Delapost Paris.
This is a trailer for an iPad and iPhone application. It is a gamebook, you can find more about it athttp://www.hamnasya.net/.

I've created a little script to help me to retime the alembic node in Maya.
Pick the alembic node and run the script, it will create to attributes : an "offset time" and a "remap time". (Alembic seems to make interpolation if you scale time, it is pretty cool :))


--- EDIT ---

It is now in the download section.

My work during Just Fuel
