You are welcome to contribute. If you have an account, you can edit exist posts (otherwise, leave a comment). If you post new things, please tag them with “ideas,” “research,” or “tech.” (so that we can easily find them later, and maybe export to a separate blog)

So for now, Anima is no longer about “Animation advice and advocacy.” New snooty tagline in place.

To whomever stumbles across this blog:

I’m a multimedia developer in the Ecampus Course Development & Training unit. I’ve talked with some of our Maya animators (student workers) about storing the cool tips and tricks we find in a format that is easier to share. I’ve found myself crafting emails which are pitches for some cool script, plug-in, technique, or tutorial. Because it helps me cement what I’ve discovered. But later it’s often hard to dig up that random email for my own reference.

So here’s a blog where we can all contribute (and maybe discuss and build on each other’s discoveries).

I’ll post some examples in a bit.

(this blog might also end up covering tips and tricks for Flash and Unity. we’ll see. And if you’re interested in contributing, let me know)
