Tutorial: Rendering Wireframes in Maya for Compositing with After Effects


"Crystal Leal walks us through how to render out a wireframe version of a model using either Mental Ray or Maya’s own Vector Renderer. Once rendered, the sequences are then composited together in After Effects and rendered out to video. This technique is perfect to use when putting together turntable animations for your portfolio!"

VJ Content - Five examples of Incredible Abstract 3D Animation

Element Future supports new media as a form of self-expression. In our humble opinion, 3D this good is wasted when it ends up in tv promo spots and cellphone commercials as a way of keeping the corporate image fresh, so it's a pleasure to find these 'unspoiled' personal videos from designers/programmers.

AfroMonk: What is the whole “Party.” thing about?


"PARTY started as an inside joke between myself & Steve Bugbee. He was shocked that B.A.D.ASS would only release limited information like date & city but not announce venue or lineup and still get over 1000 RSVPs on Facebook. I laughed and said “I wonder if people would RSVP if we just showed them a blank piece of paper that said PARTY on it.” We wanted to see if the idea would catch on so we tested it by getting the B.A.D.ASS & Slow Kids teams to set their default photo on Facebook to a picture of them holding up a blank piece of paper that had “PARTY” written in arial font. The idea started spreading virally as Steve & I found ourselves looking around the internet and people we didn’t even know had made similar default photos. That was when I decided we would make that my birthday rave….the main flyer was also a blank piece of paper with PARTY on the front and then we released the lineup & RSVP info on the back."
