Anyone know what's going on...?

So I'm trying to texture some pink onto my dancer's face, mostly the lips and cheeks a little. That's fine. My problem is I keep getting the stupid UV lines on her as you can see and I can't get rid of them. I tried deleting that layer from Photoshop all together, and it's not there when you look at the little sample picture on the right hand side of Maya. Help? No matter how many times I save this or reload the image, I get the same problem when I render. *le sigh*

Another Tiny

Saw this on Cartoon Brew. Another stop motion animation with small, intricate pieces. A senior student film from Moholy-Nagy University of Arts and Design in Budapest.

Final Project

Hey guys, I'm doing a 3D animation for my senior project, so I figured I'd use images from it for my final project in 360.


My idea is personal to me and I hope that adds to my animation. I have always loved dancing, and even minor in it at school. My modern teacher used to have us do an activity called prop studies, where we would bring in any random, mundane object of our choosing and choreograph a dance around it. The goal would be to find a different way to use or interpret the object than what it was actually used for.

From this idea, I created a story about a dancer who shows up to her dance class only to find out it's cancelled. Not knowing what to do and no ride back any time soon, she goes in the dance studio, sitting around hopelessly bored. She find a bag on the ground and starts to aimlessly play with it. Before you know it, she is up dancing around on the floor with this bag, lost in her own little reality until the car horn beeps and it is time to leave.

I'm almost done modeling the studio, which is based off my old dance studio, but not an exact replica. If I am not able to have my dancer modeled and fully rigged before the end of the semester, I will put in the Andy rig to simulate the dancer for the 6 images.

Before and After

I was thinking of a sunset and the many colors the sky changes to while making this. Obviously I need more contrast in the sky, with the top part darker than the bottom. I also want to add more highlights to the front of the cabin and the ground, but overall I think I'm going in the right direction.
