a free tool (no installation ~300 KB) lets you define which plugins photoshop should start with and which fonts should be excluded. This should speed up the boot time and reduce the hick ups it gets often inbetween. You can also reset the changes you made with this tool to the adobe defaults.…
Hey folks . I have been exploring Z_brush and I have to say I am impresed.The interface is abit clumsy , but once you get use to it , it is not that hard . So much cool stuff you can do so quickly . This is my old model from max I just import it into Z brush and went nuts with it . Here is what I came up with after a few…
I use Mudbox for everything paint related. Guided strokes, stencils and all that, a Photoshop-like layer stack and a direct connection to PS, all wrapped in a simple interface. 3D Coat looks more full featured for sure though. Wasn't aware that Bodypaint is still around. Don't tell me Deep Paint 3D is also still making the…
1. Scroll all the way to the right. 2. Tap the button at upper right with three horizontal lines in it. (the so-called "hamburger" menu). 3. Tap the "head and shoulders" button. 4. Scroll to the bottom. 5. Tap on Sign Out. Sorry it's a multi-step process. This is how Vanilla Forums has set up their interface, and we can't…
... uh there are what now?? We have tons of Automotive 3D visualization studios in germany. Some of the pioneers of 3d interface and navigation + the whole unity based car configurator thing. They are located in Erlangen, Munich, Stuttgart, Wolfsburg, Ingolstadt. Also check this list of game studios in germany (there are…
Nudge Keys is built into Max now. In Customize User Interface change the Group (not Category) to "Track View". Like my script it only works on selected keys. It might work in more cases than my script. There's a slide keys tool you might find useful to. When you click and drag a key it pushes all the keys after/before it.
Ya i used to use Wings3d in college. It is simple and easy to use, so pretty good for learning. Doesn't do any sort of UVs or texturing though, strictly a modeler. But if you can learn Blender or 3ds max, you will be able to easily adapt to any other software, so worth the time to sit and decipher the interface and learn…
There's a new button above the 'add ons dialog' when you start up the tools , says something like 'launch item tools' (it's very easy to not notice.) Hit that button and there's a really nice interface that imports all mask channels in one file like before. The main thing is that the alpha channel is split form the…
Yes indeed Mari is quite powerful for this kind of work. I used Terragen despite its horrible viewport and interface just because it renders planetary stuff way better than view. With Vue I will never be able to get a rendered planet look quite as realistic as the one I can get out of Terragen. The skies were not authored…
Ironically, the best that might come out of this is not necessarily the VR and stereoscopic aspects, but rather, the development of keyboard-free and mouse-free interfaces for a number of programs. Feature-wise sculpting apps are great the way they are today, but the paradigm of not being able to sculpt while rotating the…
