A Full Plate
0 min read
Sometimes life isn’t content with giving you a single serving of work and obligations. Sometimes life sees it fit to heap it on until your plate is damn well near overflowing, and then life still tries to spoon on a bit more, like an insistent mother in law who is utterly convinced that you are much too skinny.
Such is my current situation.
Let me preface by making it clear that I am not complaining. And although I find myself considerably more stressed and harried than I can remember being in a long time, I can say with utter conviction that I am actually quite pleased by life’s sudden effort to inundate me.

Woot! I was pushed past the big 10k by the selection of my "Just What I Needed" piece as a Daily Deviation!

Building a Toon Shader in Maya

I was going to make this a journal entry, but it was WAY too long. Instead I made it into its own page:
Maya Toon Shading Tutorial
I used this method to make my most recent deviation:

Hi! is it okay if I'm asking you for help? I'm doing an animation project right now about ocean in cartoon style. So I already made the ocean with toon shader in maya, but I dunno how to add some splash there if there's a boat. All i found is to make the splash in realistic style but I can't find the one in toon shader. I hope you're still active in here D:
I'm honestly not sure. Whenever I have had to work with fluids I have used RealFlow. If you can create a realistic splash in Maya can't you just assign the toon shader to the geometry used in the realistic splash?
ah yes.. because basically the splash it self is created by the shader. but i changed the plan to the ordinary ocean shader instead of toon anyway. thanks! btw.. if i used ocean wake examples from visor, do you know how to add the splash onto it? because all it have is the simulation and wake. is it possible?
Hi, I'd like to use your BR Jungle image in the background of a personal project (i.e. non-commercial). Would that be ok with you? Have tried sending you a note last week but perhaps you no longer check those because I haven't heard anything.
Sorry, I'm hardly on here. Consider this granted permission for your non-commercial work, if you are still interested.
Would really like to use your picture The Old Tire Swing as a book cover. Could you please tell me how to contact you, or contact me at authorkatiemac@ymail.com. Thank you!
We would like to use your image The Old Tire Swing in our materials to promote our production of David Lindsay-Abaire's play Rabbit Hole at Dominican University in the upcoming 12/13 season. How do I contact you?
