Top Ten Tips of Texturing
"The main goal of this article/tutorial is to give you a few hints and tricks that might help you to make your own textures look better. What you'll read are things other people taught me, or that I had to discover for myself. They are not the only way to handle some of the problems, but over the years I've found that these work best". - Jeroen Maton
RoadKill UV Tutorial
RoadKill UV Tutorial from Ezra Cove on Vimeo.
In this tutorial, you are introduced to Roadkill UV, a freeware application that serves as a fairly simple, straightforward, and fast way of unfolding 3D models and laying out UVs.

Mari - new 3D painting/texturing tool from the foundry
Mari is a brand new 3D texture painting tool from The Foundry. Originally developed at Weta Digital to handle the massively complex, highly detailed look development work demanded by Avatar, Mari was designed as a full 3D paint tool with a responsiveness and feature-set that puts even the best dedicated 2D paint systems to shame. Mari is extremely scalable, coping easily with an obsessive level of detail literally tens of thousands of textures quickly and elegantly.

82 CG Superheros, Villains, and Iconic Movie and Video Game Characters
Everyone must be in need of some sort of escape from the real world, because while searching through the net I found a wide range of amazing works based on movie and video game characters, as well as comic book superheros and villains! Some of these are better than I could have imagined, and some push the characters’ attitudes and looks in directions you would have never imagined! Absolutely brilliant!!

creating a youtube links with time referance and HD
in order to create a link to a youtube video that will start playing at a specific time all you need to do is add "#t=" and the number of seconds into the clip.
for example, let's say I want to show someone a specific shot from my reel, let's say it's at 1:14.
so 1 minute + 14 seconds = 74 seconds.
my reel link is: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_2Eaq16uAP4
so the link should be http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_2Eaq16uAP4#t=74
for HD links all you have to do is add "&hd=1" to the end of the link, assuming that it has a HD version. so my link should be now http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_2Eaq16uAP4&hd=1#t=74
(notice that the HD tag is coming before the the time reference, otherwise it won't work.)
happy linking!!
