SimpleCG Tutorials

This blog will be devoted to CG tutorials. It will be collection of tutorials i have found useful but it will also be a place for me to write up some of my own. However, my knowledge is mostly limited to Maya, and the Adobe programs. So I don’t have the best collection of tutorials for programs like blender. So I need your help to fill this gap in my knowledge. If you find any tutorials you find useful on anything cg related please send them my way! Now let’s learn!

Morphing Texture Tutorial (Blender)

I’ve started animating textures a lot more in my 3D models recently, and since I haven’t made a tutorial in a while, I thought I’d go over how to do it like this:

A FEW ANNOUNCEMENTS!!!!! One I am indeed alive!! I won’t be the first to say that this time has been crazy and even though I have been at home I haven’t found myself with an ample amount of free time/ free energy, to keep up with this website. Going to protests for BLM and also staying safe and sane during this pandemic, while also continuing to work a full time job, and fighting for change to happen at my workplace, doesn’t leave a lot of room for other projects. I still need some mental space to refresh and I thank you for sticking with me through this!  That being said I have some exciting news!  I’m teaching a class with CALIBRASKA on CG MODELING for high school students this summer!! If you or someone you know is between the ages of 14-17 and would like to learn CG sign up PLEAS SIGN UP ASAP!  Class signups  end this Wednesday! Signup this weekend and you can get 25% off any class!   https://www.calibraska.org/product-page/modeling-in-maya-101 ALSO  I would like to get started posting monthly challenges next month again. It would help me so much to get theme suggestions from you guys!! What do you want to make for JULY?

Hello! Hope youre doing well! I have a question about the fire tutorial you posted a while ago (160039267730/today-we-make-fire-this-tutorial-has-been). I'm trying to follow it but I cant seem to get the fire to keep a continuous loop. I followed the tutorial to a T and cant seem to get it right! Do you have any tips to keep my fire looping? Thanks!

I think I understand your question. The reason it is looping is that I’m cutting off the first few frames in the export. All particles in maya have to be generated so there will be a brief moment where stream of particles must begin generating. If you need it to loop during a scene, it’s best to give it some preroll before the action starts so it time to generate before the scene starts.

I reality there is no “loop” happening in maya itself. The loop is the result of me looping the playback
