I just published Recommend: DaVinci Resolve. If you're making a demo reel and don't wanna pay for Premiere. https://t.co/z1NzPhOPUM

@ElllePie We were on 2018 till like last year :)

What Maya version are you using in production?

[CG Monastery @CgMonastery]

Josh is looking for a new gig. Pretty much every project shown is using cgmTools and the Morpheus Rig System.

[Josh Burton @jjbrambles]

Here's my updated demo reel. Most of it is work from my time at Discord. I'm looking for new opportunities.

[CG Monastery @CgMonastery]

Another MRS exploration.

[Josh Burton @jjbrambles]

Started Picking at a new character for a personal project. Grabbed the hair from an abandoned exploration. Still playing around with proportions.

Wanna play with my wing feather setup to drive the cloak...think it might work.

[CG Monastery @CgMonastery]

cgmTools update
MRS FK orient dynamic parent setup added to limbs and more. Josh had been doing some fps work and forgot while we hadn't originally added it. So, it's in.

Sorry we've been quiet. Just plugging along making stuff.

Josh has been working on a couple Primal fan rigs.

[Josh Burton @jjbrambles]

Fang Primal - quick anim using an episode for ref. Tail and arms pretty much just anim filters. Wanted something to throw Spear on.

#MorpheusRigSystem

[Josh Burton @jjbrambles]

#midjourney had a new release this week and I wanted to see how it worked with my proxy rigs from MRS. This is my giant otter proxy rig (top). Removing the control curves would be better results.

Pretty neat visualization tool for rough geo before committing to a final look.

[CG Monastery @CgMonastery]

Continue to love seeing Stormgate updates! Game is looking great.

They're using the Morpheus Rig System and our pipeline tools.

[Stormgate @PlayStormgate]

🤩Stormgate is now LIVE on Steam

Bring a couple friends and check out 3P co-op!

Been a bit. We've been busy.

New cgmTools update dropped focused on Scene (our asset management/export tool).
- Directory masking
- Maya grid settings support
- bugs

On py2 and py3 repos.

[CG Monastery @CgMonastery]

A big congrats to our friends at Frost Giant. They're using cgmTools and the Morpheus Rig System to stellar ends. Well done on the kickstarter!

@baseerfaroqi See you on the server so looks like you got there :)

For others, check the readme on our Discord.

Josh got GrAIBox running last night. We updated the tutorial cleaning up some friction points.

Note - This is the only tool in our toolbox that has extra external install stuff. Every other tool is just in the repos.

[Josh Burton @jjbrambles]

Ran the cgmTools GrAIBox tutorial last night to test it for my buddy. AI tools take a bit to install, but...

They work :)

Unreal Tip | If you've ever needed a specific order on materials coming into to Unreal from Maya. The '_skin01' post on this worked.

Better version.

[Josh Burton @jjbrambles]

This version is better:
- avoids simple malicious code vector
- native maya commands

[CG Monastery @CgMonastery]

Note - That's where your timeline data is stored in a scene. As a string on the before attribute.

#MayaBeOdd

[Josh Burton @jjbrambles]

Ran into a weird bug with 2023 where Maya wouldn't update the timeline between files. Data is stored in the scenes but not being updated.

This worked for now. I added it to cgmScene's load button for Maya 22+ until it's resolved.

[CG Monastery @CgMonastery]

@Kiana_Kaluun @riggingdojo Nope, that's other stuff. We have a self guided MRS class with them and we have a bunch of vids on our Discord. If you're interested, check out the faq for learning MRS. There's free vids and some sub ones you can see with a free trial.

[CG Monastery @CgMonastery]

{Birds-of-a-Feather : MRS Build-a-long}
We're going to do mini build a long of things with wings for subscribers on our Discord. If interested, hop on the link in our bio and check announcements.

[CG Monastery @CgMonastery]

@Kiana_Kaluun You can! Our rigging system is free to use with a few classes tutorials we offer on our Discord and partnered with our friends at @riggingdojo . Come check it out :)

[Raf Anzovin @RafAnzovin]

Wondering what why we've been so quiet for the last few months? Ephemeral rigging for the Unreal Engine, that's why! #UnrealEngine #UE5
