Hey everyone, this is my first time posting in the tech talk section. I've been messing around with MEL Script for some time now and one of my buddies suggested showing some of my code to a larger audience to receive better feedback. I don't necessarily want to learn MEL thoroughly, but it's nice to know enough to be able…
Thank you so much for feedback and instructions! Yes, this is Maya and all this rigs used the same setup, to be short its 4 corrective joints for upperarms (to correct forward, back, up and down movement), 2 twist joints for each upperarm and 2 corrective joints for clavicle movement. Mesh proxies also used to make the…
Hello, I'm making a game asset that is going to (essentially) be an open container full of 'rubble'. I have the container modeled and had planned to use cell fracture (on a cube or something) combined with some rigid body physics to fill the container in a natural (ish) kind of way. Most of the pieces will be mid sized.…
suggestions: -the lighting is too dark and not very 3dreadable ... the columns are entirely black whilst the hanging cables are totally drawing attention because light seams to leak in from above. take a closer look at the concept art. -the lamp strip kind of meeds abetter transition to the none lit geometry right now it…
With my limited knowledge I do think it matters most of the time especially if you're vertex bound. However if you are already bound by batch count then having LoDs is not going to help much at all. Lets say you have 400 draw calls and each call equals an individual 3d object. Let's also say that this equals 1000 000 tris…
I am working on a project in which objects have various Td, and some of them even have various Td themselves in certain areas. I need a smart way to automatically mask those variable Tds into 8-bit grayscale, which I will use in Substance Painter for normal/height correction.Are there any apps or ways to do this? [I work…
I'm not 100% sure what you are trying to do, but for what I'm guessing, using a struct to store the information would be the safest way. When you do oldP = (selection as array) each item in there is a reference to the actual object in the scene. When you change the pivot and position of each object using Selection.pivot =…
Sorry, it's me and the kids today, so I didn't get to it till a few minutes ago. This should get you started. Just make sure you replace my KActor with one of your own. When you swipe up it will jump. Copy and paste this into Kismet. Begin Object Class=SeqVar_Object Name=SeqVar_Object_2 ObjValue=KActor'KActor_0'…
I think it looks really nice and quite realistic, actually. But I’m not totally sure what the objects are placed on. I guess that’s what sometimes throws me off with realistic renders — the angles or composition can feel a bit strange. Like, would a photographer actually arrange them this way or shoot from this particular…
Cool, I would use this bonus tool if I wanted a quick way to change an object's pivot based on the current component selection. Thanks Malcom. However, for some reason the default behavior of that bonus tool, is to disrupt the current component selection and selecting the object instead. And even if it was possible to…
