KeyTransfer Script = Mograph Lite

keytransfer1

You HAVE to check out this amazing FREE script by John “Joker” Martini & Andru Phoenix.  It almost feels a bit like a lite version of C4D’s Mograph tool (notice I say Lite vers).  It’s a must have for anyone offsetting animations in Max.

Get it HERE.

Meinbender Amazing 3D Claymation

I just had to post this.  I think this is some of the best character work I’ve seen in a long time.  Swedish animation company Meinbender created a series of ID’s for Cartoon Network.  They are not only beautifully rendered, but the motion will have you wondering how the hell they did that in 3D.   According to their site, they use the Maxwell render engine.  Nice look!  Hopefully we’ll see some behind the scenes stuff from them.
