HowStuffWorks and WonderHowTo

-
I was looking for some tutorials on Houdini and came across this page:
http://www.wonderhowto.com/how-to-copy-stamp-houdini-9-241099/

Then I realise that this site is hosts a huge collection of videos that show you how to do stuff. From showing how to cut your own hair, or put on make-up, it also shows you how to create mechanical stuff or do your own modification to your computers, tvs, etc. :)

All in all its an informative and hands-on website. I would put it together in the same category as Wikipedia and HowStuffWorks, although these 2 sites are more informative than hands-on DIY demonstration.

I am now intrigued by the featured article on the main page of HowStuffWorks: Are There Any Other Universes Like Ours Out There?

So here are the links:
http://www.howstuffworks.com/
http://www.wonderhowto.com/
http://www.wikipedia.org/

I am a Christian but I am also a sci-fi fan. Working in the line of visual effects, how can I not be a fan of sci-fi? :)

I believe in this world, while human knowledge is limited, God's knowledge isn't. We use our powers of observation, scientific research, finding, and sometimes a little bit of imagination, to try and understand the sometimes theorise the mysteries of world we live in.

I am not of the belief that God and science are mutually exclusive. Instead I believe science reveals the wonder of our Creator. However I also do not believe in the Darwinian theory of evolution.

Maya UI Layout Example

In reply to another StackOverflow question , I wrote 2 blocks of code that shows 2 UI layouts created with Maya's UI framework. First one looks like this: This is the code that created this first one. import maya . cmds as mc def buildUI (): winName = 'myWindow' winWidth = 200 # set a target width and reference this when you specify width if mc . window ( winName , exists = True ): mc . deleteUI ( winName ) mc . window ( winName , width = winWidth , title = 'Test Window' ) # i always have keep a reference to the main columnLayout mainCL = mc . columnLayout () mc . text ( label = 'text row 1' ) # tmpRowWidth controls the width of my columns in the rowLayout # with reference to winWidth tmpRowWidth = [ winWidth * 0.3 , winWidth * 0.7 ] mc . rowLayout ( numberOfColumns = 2 , columnWidth2 = tmpRowWidth ) # at this point our UI pointer is under the rowLayout mc . text ( label = 'row colu

Maya Expressions Part 02 - Conditional Statements

In this second video of my Maya Expressions series, I show how use the graph editor to display a visual representation of the value of our expressions with a graph. Then I move on to explain the basics of conditional statements in Maya's expression language, which also works with MEL scripts. A basic conditional statement in MEL and Maya expression language has the structure as such: if (condition) {     statement1;     statement2; } Condition is a test to see if a comparison between values is true, or false, for most cases. Example 1: if (cube1.translateX > cube2.translateX) { do_something; } In the above example, if cube1's translateX value is greater than cube2's translateX value, then do_something will be performed. Example 2: if (cube1.translateX == cube2.translateX) { do_something; } In the above, we are testing for equality. if both the values are equal, the do_something will be executed. Example 3: if (cube1.scaleX >= cube2.scaleY) { d
