Bonus Tools Tutorials

Steven Roselle added some more tutorials for his Bonus Tools Tools

I use the unwrap UV's a lot lately, works pretty well

The following are for animation tools


Mirror Animation, for mirroring animation curves






Reverse animation   a step beyond += and *= in the graph editor, with its own gui







individual time warp tools per object. I'm still not sure why they added a Full Scene time warp , but not for individuals.

Modeling a hand in Maya - simple tutorial

I haven't been following these tutorials that atdsk has been putting out. but I thought this one is nice, and it focuses on something that I think a lot of people get sticky with.
 ( also, they talk about some tools that you may have missed in maya, like the legacy split tool )
I find I go back to the legacy split tool a bunch, as sometimes the new interactive split, won't split, or freaks out and i get "unexpected" results......

rigging moving skinned joints w Marco D'ambros

Marcos takes advantage of the smooth skin clusters "preBindMatrix" to add joints that wont cause double transformations.

 I've always avoided the "move skin joint" tool, as it tends to freak everything out.. now I have  a way to take advantage of it!
