Sure thing!

I was planning on creating a shared repository for reference images. This repository is strictly images taken by the artist themselves and no images from the internet.

However I really don’t have a hosting site to support those files… so I am looking for hosting alternatives…

Also one small note ackdoh, my website is www.ericdmatte.com :slight_smile: just a small typo there and thanks for adding me :slight_smile: I will also post my updated reel soon… :beer:

Few useful free tutorials here --> http://www.escapestudios.com

Under E-learning and then on “Free Tutorials” section you’ll find a bunch of nice Maya tutorials but two of them particularly interesting: “Bring a photo to life with camera mapping in Maya” and “Using paint effects to ‘bed’ geometry into backplates”.

Registration is required to enter on E-learning but it’s free and only few seconds of time so…

Cheers! :slight_smile:

Hey Ken,
As I see Game of Thrones and Borgias both received Emmy nominations for VFX.
Congratulations. Those are some good projects to have worked on, I’m sure.

Best Wishes,
Milan
