Re: Riggers! Give me your favorite tutorials/articles!
If you still are a student I would suggest downloading a student license of Autodesk Maya (It's free!). Cinema 4D is a pretty decent piece of software for beginners, but if you really are dedicated to learn rigging you should probably move over to a more competent software as soon as possible. You will find an endless… -
Re: Duplicate along curve script[WIP] - Maya
@ScudzAlmighty Did you ever figure it out? I am not entirely sure what the issue is.. but the only thing I could think of is that the motion path's up-vector is set wrong. @Passerby. It uses motion paths. @uk_resistant on mac you need to put the scripts in a different folder than you would for pc. its located somewhere in… -
Re: Normal maps and smoothing group woes
I'm not EQ but I haven't found a way in max, at least nothing as easy as in Maya, which is something like ctrl-shift click a shell. I've attempted to script something and been thoroughly lost in how they handle smoothing groups and its nearly impossible to find UV boarders, its as if they don't actually exists in… -
Re: 3dsmax question, lost timeline bar ?
Ohh so you're just trying to get rid of the bars at start up? ok... Have you tried saving the script to: C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\Local\Autodesk\3dsMax\2014 - 64bit\ENU\scripts\startup This is where scripts are supposed to be saved in newer versions of max. Saving it to the max install folder might not work in newer… -
Re: SOLVED: Setting up materials in maya after getting textures in DDO
1, You shouldn't really be using Maya for game rez renders 2, and the answer to your question, there is no PBR calibrated shader in Maya by default AFAIK, so there's no input for your metalness. You will have to find an external setup, I'm sure there's a few. Google "Autodesk Maya PBR shader" or something. But I suggest… -
Re: merging rigged characters in max 8
The fact that it's a yearly release cycle means that a new version has to get out the door when time is up, even with known bugs. I know there were at least two bugs that I personally reported, and one part of the maxScript docs that are just plain wrong, that did not get fixed for the release, but they could be considered… -
Re: Linux and 3d...
I wonder what Autodesk gonna do after buting Alias, Softimage and Skymatter(mudbox). Probably they will keep the existing 3dsmax, Maya and Mudbox... but I bet they're also thinking about creating a new multi-OS application taking the best of them. Meanwhile, if you use 3dsmax you're linked to Windows that's clear ( and,… -
Re: arsh's maya questions
Josh_Singh: "Maya has a function that will turn your edges without your permission.....it will try to find out the best way for a certain edge to be displayed depending on the angle of the mesh in the viewport.... How do you turn this off???" Unfortunately it seems thats hard coded in, we tried to get around it at work but… -
Re: Maya UV editor
I'm also a bit new to Maya's UV editor (2016), and I had this problem. Like peanut said, it's probably because you're not selecting the UV shell the right way. The way I fix it is to select a vert inside my shell, Ctrl+Right click To UV>To UV, then Ctrl+Right click To Shell. The weird thing is that sometimes I just right… -
Re: Here's another Blender short
Gotta give credit to Blender. I bought into the misconception that Blender was "inferior", and while that may have been true in the beginning, the gap between it and other 3D apps is diminishing. Like this short looks just as good (or perhaps better) than the Pixar stuff and ordinary people might not even tell the…
