プログラミング言語人気TOP10の簡易解説 →
この世にはたくさんのプログラミング言語が存在します。Wikiepdiaのプログラミング言語一覧を見ると、実に200個以上というわけの分からない数の言語が並んでいたりします。
200の中にはほとんど使われてない言語も混じってるので、実際に仕事でざくざく使われている言語は20とか30とかそういうオーダーなのですが、それでも1人の人間が把握するにはちょっと多過ぎる数です。
本記事では、そうした有り余るプログラミング言語の海の中で「どれを勉強したらいいの？」とか「どれを採用するのが適切？」という悩みをお持ちの方が「よし、この言語に決めた！」と自信を持って決断できるように背中を押すことを目的として書かれました。

This one is very useful indeed. Its a really easy way of making a nice smooth transition through a series of shapes.
I havent put it into effect on a rig yet but I’m quite excited about its potential. I only discovered this bezier node a week ago so this is hot off the press.
Always remember that these can be made into compounds its...

Watch10: Matrix transforms ! (via Paul smith)
I had a question (thanks Ed) asking why it screws up if you animate the transforms of the ‘raygun’ in my raycast constraint (number 06 in the series).
This explains why and shows how to deal with transforms on ICE objects.

VRayPattern - iCube →
VrayPattern is a plug-in for 3dsmax and V-Ray VRayPattern allows you periodically multiply geometry without extra memory consumption.
As a sample you can use any tiled geometry (or whose with unobtrusive joints)
The plug-in best used where huge amount of geometries required, but without great accuracy

Watch09: What are Locations all about again? (via Paul smith)
Locations are one of ICE’s brilliant concepts. You can use something like a ray, or a ‘closest location node’ to pick location/s on another mesh, find out what any of its values are at that spot, and use it to drive something else.
