This used to be in my tutorials section, but there are so many tutorials out there, I didn’t see the need to write one up again. So instead, here is a wireframe script for maya and Mental Ray. It creates a beauty render using the sun and sky and an MIA material with contour rendering enabled. Super fast to render, and is a good starting base for wire framing rendering.

It has been well over a year since I have posted anything, and as anyone in the industry knows, it is hard to find time to do anything outside of work. I planned on just nuking my site and blog because it was in such a disastrous state, but I was asked by friends not do that and instead do an overhaul. And every time I would move my mouse over to the self destruct button, I would get a comment saying something like “thanks for the tutorial, it helped me.” And that is what this is about. So I have completely revamped my website AND my blog and am replacing with this one. I am going to make a point to try and post something at least once a month. I have learned a lot over the last year and have a lot to share.

I am not going to post any of my old work and only a few of my old tutorials because they are all heavily outdated and I can do much better now. I will continue to update with new works and hopefully a few tutorials here and there. Thanks for all the support, I really appreciate it.
