Maya Monday: Mastering MASH’s Color Node

Maya Monday: Mastering MASH’s Color Node

MASH, which we’ve featured a few times on Maya Monday, is an extension that has become the 3D motion graphics toolset for Maya. From my experience in After Effects, it reminds me of things you can do with Video Copilot Element 3D and Rowbyte Plexus. Today we’re focusing on the Color Node, which is automatically added when you add MASH to your network.

First, before we dive deeper and if it's new to you, check out an introduction and overview for MASH. There's a great video from Swordfish about how they use MASH and Maya as well as some examples and tutorials.
