Report from Austria

It was a while ago since I came back form the second part of my exchange in Austria.

As I already said I was there with two other Slovenians and since all the classes were already finished they arranged some other things for us to do.

Our coordinator organized several workshops for us: Motion capture and tracking, Adobe AIR technology and Z-Brush workshop. It was a really good experience to get in touch with people that know a lot in particular area of expertise.

We also took a challenge of writing a plug-in for Maya. A purpose of the plug-in is to import 2D tracked data. That plug-in should help with faster workflow in getting motion captured data to the final model in Maya. This was my first plug-in for Maya, and first Maya programing also. The good thing is that Maya now "understands" Python and that I was able to use it for my purpose since python is really not a hard language to learn.

That a short report from two weeks staying in Hagenberg.
