This month is a really important month for me. For years I’ve been trying to bring 3D to my school – now that dream is coming true. I have one final hurdle to deal with before I can finally begin teaching 3D at my school – and that’s passing the Maya exams in March. Once I pass them – and I will, I can finally begin to share my 3D knowledge directly to my students – instead of indirectly doing it in my other graphics and web design classes. On passing these exams, I would achieve the designation of an Autodesk Authorized Instructor – which would allow me to teach both Maya and 3DS Max at my school. I won’t be posting as much for this month because I really need to pass these exams. So wish me good luck

The “Tornado Twins” are back with another Unity 3D video tutorial. The previous Unity 3D post explained some concepts of collision detection and prefabs. This tutorial will begin to go into varous aspects of scripting and how you can use scripting procedures to create actions for your prefab objects.
This is the first in a series of tutorials that I’ll be posting with regards to 3D and 3D programs such as Maya and 3D Studio Max. So lets begin with some 3D fundamentals with Maya – the most popular 3D program in use today.
Working in 3D Space
Almost everything created in Maya exists in what is known as “3 Dimentional” space or “3D Space”. This means that even though you are looking at data on a computer monitor – which is 2 dimentional (X and Y), Maya allows you to work with depth as well (Z).
