Maya 2020 fundamentals - modelling the real world
Get halfway through a model and find it's an unworkable mess? Can't add edge loops where you need them? Can't subdivide a mesh properly? If any of this sounds familiar check this course out.

i dont know what to think of that. first their arguing, now they want to talk deal.

personally, i think its a good [business] move for them. altho that would make steve jobs considerably richer....
but disney have been releasing Pixar's films for sometime now, so its fitting to buy them.

some people are saying its a bad thing, some are saying its a good thing..

I thought Pixar wanted to venture out to do other things besides Disney stuff.

Am I wrong but didnt Disney own Pixar wen they started and Pixar got to big for disney's boots so they bought themselves out?

now they want them back

personally i don think it should happen i like pixar being they way the are and their Films Rule


Now at SMU doing BSc 3D Computer Animation so its hard to get on here

Actually, pixar once belonged to ILM under a different name and Steve Jobs bought out the company and renamed it Pixar.
And I don't think Pixar ever belonged to Disney, they just had contracts for movies I believe.

Oh and for your information, I once worked for Steve Jobs guarding his Porter Pottie and car. I think he had a cheaper Mercedes I recalled. For a guy so rich, at th time I wonder why he didnt have a much better car??
