This video shows how I export and import models and animation to the Alembic format (.abc).

Setting Maya Viewport's Texture Resolution Above 256x256

-

While working on a project that required me to display map features in very fine detail, I ran into the problem of Maya's limited ability to show texture maps at higher than 256x256 in the viewport. On the left is the source image supplied as a texture on the plane in the Maya scene, displayed from Window's image viewer. On the right inside of Maya is the same map that's loaded as a lower resolution map. In the hardware texturing setting for that shader (I'm using a surface shader), we soon find out that 256x256 is the highest resolution we can choose to show our texture at. Searching through the Internet I had the good fortune to come across this very useful tip on a blog that solved the problem for my situation: http://blog.erlendsakshaug.com/post/59585323349/maya-tip-set-texture-resolution-above-256x256-in-the To find out the current hardware texture resolution for the shader of this object, we have to find out the name of the shader. For me it is ...

Nuke's Colour Selection Scheme

In these last months I've had the opportunity to become more involved in compositing in Nuke. This involves a lot of working with colours. One of the things that had me curious for while was the sliders on the right side of the standard nuke colour picker.  I am talking about the vertical sliders on the right of the image above.  After investing some time in reading the Nuke documentation, I came to the appropriate page  that indicates that this is the TMI colour scheme that allows the user to pick a colour by colour temperature.  Nuke also allows for a more comprehensive colour picker by ctrl/cmd-clicking on the colour wheel icon (to the left of the "4" icon on the right of the image above). Nuke calls it the alternative colour picker. Activating it this way will create a floating colour picker panel that you can interact with. In this panel, you can use the top buttons to toggle the visibility of the TMI, HSV and RGB colour schemes to work with whichever way that i...
