Keith Lango Video Library

Via Facebook I was notified of this:

There's over hundreds of hours of content here, I would highly recommend every student check out this wonderful material"

They are indeed worth checking out, many of his pages are already linked from my instruction pages. You can find the video collections at https://www.youtube.com/user/keithlango/videos

xGen Foliage

I created another instruction video. This one, though basic in its approach, introduces a more advanced feature in Maya: xGen.

Poly Modeling Part 1

I finished cleaning up the first part of the demo video I recorded in the Principles of 3D Animation class, and posted it to YouTube.
