New tutorials
Molecular movies has just posted two more tutorials I wrote for Harvard Medical School. One is on creating a plasma membrane using Paint Effects, the other is a variety of nCloth and hair techniques used to animate various elements of cell division. Science is fun kids...

Hi Eric,
The cell division tutorial end result movie is really good.
I would be thrilled if you created a tutorial for how to approach this without using nCloth, i.e. an approach using maya complete.

Thanks Sean
I've worked on replicating this technique using soft body surfaces. It works ok but the results aren't quite as satisfying and collisions with the rigid body "cleaver" don't work quite as well. If I can perfect the technique or find a Maya Complete alternative I will post it. Really we all just need to demand proper metaballs for Maya from autodesk!
