So, presuming anyone views this blog, it should make for a slightly better experience, for all parties involved 
I’ve been asked to speak at this years ‘Careers in Animation‘ via the local chapter of ASIAF (ASsociation Internationale du Film d’ Animation).
It’ll be a panel-discussion held at the Fine Arts Building’s Coppola Theater, at SF State, 11:am, Saturday March 21st. Appears to be free to memebers.
See the goodness for it on its page.
I also went through all the other sketch pages I’d made, and added imagery. So take a gander.
It dawned on me today: I’ll add lists on a regular basis (listC = listA + listB), but I don’t think I’ve ever ‘subtracted’ listA form listB. A quick search didn’t come up with much (but I know it’s out there). I came up with this method using list comprehensions:
listA = ["a","b"] listB = ["b", "c"] listC = [item for item in listB if item not in listA] print listC # ['c']
But there’s got to be an easier method? Maybe using sets?
Posted on my Python Wiki too.
When I’m rigging, I will often create an initial ‘rig-skeleton’ that fits inside the mesh to be deformed. To speed things along, I first just rough in the joint positions by snapping them to verts. But later I like to get them centered into a selection of verts, and usually that selection is some form of edge loop.
I wrote some mel that does this:
You can find the mel code over on my Mel Wiki.
