10 Second Club

10secondclub.org

Yes it’s coming back this time ran by the awn guys.

For those who don’t know what it is, the general idea is that a 10 second sound bite is put up every month and a competition is ran for the best animation that results from it. There is free critique and tutoring from volunteers and animators from across the globe.

There has been some web talk as too why bother setting up this site again as 11 second club has been doing this too for a while now. In my opinion 11 second club is a fine site too, and I think the more choice the better. I’ll just have to wait and see which one has the better sound clip that month ;-)

Maya 2009 fix for custom mental ray shaders

As I was converting my shaders for maya 2009, mental ray 3.7. I found that there was a bug in one of the AE scripts. That made some custom nodes that contain arrays for their attributes not be completed. giving the error that attriute does not exist.

This is due to autodesk changing a mel command from `attributeNiceName` to `attributeName -nice`;

this affected the script AEnewCompound.mel.

Any how i have fixed the script, you can get it from:

AEnewCompound.mel

Just add it in to your maya scripts path.
