animation is not the art of drawings that move
but the art of movements that are drawn.

i've been fortunate to be part of the vfx industry for almost two decades. even though i've lived most of the trends and witnessed the growth and evolution of many of the tools, i’m still fascinated by this amazing limitless visual world fueled by non-stop creativity.

computers don't create computer animation
any more than a pencil creates pencil animation.
what creates computer animation is the artist.

fn

{ae && maxscripts}
after effects {analog counter};
analog counter is a 10 digits counter, expression based, ae project. it is flexible, customizable and easy to use.
for more details visit videohive page or click here.
after effects {trackbar markers xml ae v2.1.6};
this after effects script imports the xml generated from maxscript 'trackbar markers' (found below) and creates a comp with the marked frames and notes. it also exports the xml with the revised markers and notes to be loaded back again into max. it is a good tool to share notes and comments between 3d animatiors and compositors. the script can be downloaded from this link.
maxscript {multi/sub-object material browser v0.9b};
when dealing with various bitmaps to be applied on multiple objects (i.e large video walls), this script comes really handy. the purpose is to scroll through the multi/sub-object material diffuse bitmaps and apply on one or several objects. plenty of new feature have been added to the latest version, plus the code is much more stable. the script can be downloaded from this link.
maxscript {trackbar markers v0.6b};
this script marks specific frames in an animation, adds a note to each marked frame and save the list as xml. the xml can be imported again into 3ds max or imported into after effects. the script is quite useful when juggling scenes and need to keep track of requiered changes, or team members need to share info among them. the script can be downloaded from this link.
maxscript {marty the henchscript v0.3};
marty the henchscript is a good tool for manipulating a spefcific property of a group of objects. marty can be downloaded from this link.
 marty was named after marty feldman one of the most iconic henchman in cinema history.
maxscript {curate v0.4b};

update 2016:
due to google's api update, the current python script doesn't work as intended. currently trying to find a work around. stay tuned.

curate is your personal library of images collected when searching for images online. with the help of a python script, curate searches for images online and stores them for later use from within 3dsmax. a full tutorial for curate can be found here or visit this link.

well, luckily with animation,
fantasy is your friend.
