Delighted to finally share my (very) short film "Tanked". If you've got 2 minutes to spare, give it a watch.

Couple of Maya Anim Tips! Do you ever have those pesky decimal keyframes between keys? They're really easy to select and delete! In the graph editor, just go to Edit>Select Unsnapped. It'll grab all the unsnapped keys for the objects you have selected. Delete them if you wish!

@tallTimTweets @duncan_rudd Yeah, it feels kinda naughty!
I probably wouldn’t rush to use it in production. Will certainly test it out on a couple of personal projects though.

@jygraphicdesign Sure can - thanks for the plug Matt!
Shoot us a message if you want to discuss further Jordan.

Here's an overview of the graph (taken from the international space station!) Actually, although it looks like a lot of nodes, the vast majority of the ops are relatively inexpensive (mults, additions and subtractions)

Maya Bifrost IK solver. I Managed to get pretty much all the functionality from my standard Maya IK limb component ported over to a Bifrost graph. Need to do some performance comparisons next.

[Duncan Rudd @duncan_rudd]

Made a basic IK solver with the new bifrost graph in maya. Looks promising but will need profiling.
@AdskMaya - is it not currently possible to output an angular type attribute?

Check out @ThE_JacO's really nice explanation of the maths behind IK here:https://t.co/PPz6X899BK

#rigtip inspired by @soyposmoderno's awesome 1 minute tutorials. I spoke to a few #maya3d folks recently who weren't aware that you could connect directly to the control points of a curve. I find it makes for a much cleaner graph than skinning or clusters.

Instead of spending $1.5 trillion on weapons to kill one other, let us unite against the common enemy that is climate change.

Great animated trailer for "My Friend Pedro" video game by @deadtoast_com and @devolverdigital
But sadly I don't see any mention/credits related to the animation team behind this trailer ?

Go watch this - turns out there’s more to it than ‘select joints>>bind skin>>publish rig,

@XCK3D @wuffles Treat yourself to some mind blowing insights from cult of rig @ThE_JacO has really shaken up the way I think about rigging. Also, when testing poses push things 10x further than you think. It’ll look crazy but it will show up weighting problems.
