MOMENTOS DECISIVOS

"Momentos Decisivos" is a short film of the student Vitor Teixeira in the specialization of Computer Animation, Master degree in Som e Imagem of the Escola das Artes. This animation is based on the visual aesthetics that call for meticulous observation of forms of beauty manifested in our day to day. Their non-verbal narrative, no plot and absent of any actor or argument, consists of a series of fleeting images of nature, water and fire, in a unique perspective, photographically appealing to many defining moments, where the clash occurs and the exhibition forms.

SOuP – The procedural toolset for Maya

SOuP is a set of plug-ins that extend the procedural (and other) capabilities of Maya.
As you probably know Maya needs more (sophisticated) "live" data generators and modifiers that operate on components lists, objects groups and point attributes. This imposes a lot of limitations when doing more involving things like complex effects, advanced characters and actually quite often geometry manipulations.

THE TRUE STORY OF A FREELANCE ARTIST

This is a true story of a studio attempting to do wrong to an artist, and how that artist protected himself from it. The facts are all true, only the names have been changed or left out.

This is really a valuable lesson.

Full story here.
