This Blog is Listed Top 60 VFX Websites to Follow in 2021

-

One of my students who widely crawls the Internet (Shivam Upadhyay, that's you!) pointed me to this website: https://blog.feedspot.com/vfx_blogs/

Written on Oct 17 2021, this article lists my blog as 44th of the top 60 websites to follow in 2021. 

I am super honoured to be listed together with the top personalities online such as Allan McKay, VFX Soldier, cmiVFX, Andrew Kramer of Video Copilot, etc.

This pleasant surprise serves to motivate me and to keep my passion alive. Thank you for reading my articles and following this blog for the years I've been writing. 

Here's to many more years of writing, learning and sharing!


Update 07 Nov 2021:

The volatility of the ranking shocked me. According to that same page, my blog is now ranked 29th on the same page! It is a pleasant surprise, and I am dead certain it has nothing to do with my popularity or publicity skills. The ranking exceeds pages of wildly popular names like The Gnomon Workshop, Video Copilot and Houdini Videos blog. This is pure fluke I would say! Again for people who follow and keep their eyes on my blog, I am deeply humbled and encouraged. Thank you again.

In reply to another StackOverflow question , I wrote 2 blocks of code that shows 2 UI layouts created with Maya's UI framework. First one looks like this: This is the code that created this first one. import maya . cmds as mc def buildUI (): winName = 'myWindow' winWidth = 200 # set a target width and reference this when you specify width if mc . window ( winName , exists = True ): mc . deleteUI ( winName ) mc . window ( winName , width = winWidth , title = 'Test Window' ) # i always have keep a reference to the main columnLayout mainCL = mc . columnLayout () mc . text ( label = 'text row 1' ) # tmpRowWidth controls the width of my columns in the rowLayout # with reference to winWidth tmpRowWidth = [ winWidth * 0.3 , winWidth * 0.7 ] mc . rowLayout ( numberOfColumns = 2 , columnWidth2 = tmpRowWidth ) # at this point our UI pointer is under the rowLayout mc . text ( label = 'row colu

Maya Expressions Part 02 - Conditional Statements

In this second video of my Maya Expressions series, I show how use the graph editor to display a visual representation of the value of our expressions with a graph. Then I move on to explain the basics of conditional statements in Maya's expression language, which also works with MEL scripts. A basic conditional statement in MEL and Maya expression language has the structure as such: if (condition) {     statement1;     statement2; } Condition is a test to see if a comparison between values is true, or false, for most cases. Example 1: if (cube1.translateX > cube2.translateX) { do_something; } In the above example, if cube1's translateX value is greater than cube2's translateX value, then do_something will be performed. Example 2: if (cube1.translateX == cube2.translateX) { do_something; } In the above, we are testing for equality. if both the values are equal, the do_something will be executed. Example 3: if (cube1.scaleX >= cube2.scaleY) { d
