I've been using Houdini as a main tool for two years now. From my experience, I can say that costly tutorials contain information that all could be found on Youtube or Vimeo. Basically the best option is to just to learn by trial and error. Once you facing issue, you search for the soultion and learn a new trick or a…
Hey guys, Sorry for the necro. but I just wanted to post a correction to the normal map supplied in the first post. The blue channel in the normal map contains too much information (downward pointing normals), so I baked out a couple of corrected ones for people to use. The .zip contains 2x16bit cone maps in both X+Y+Z+ &…
How do you make that work with XREF objects automatically? Could you please post the exact steps? I would prefer not having to reload the library as monster suggests. I want to save a small .max file containing the scene (cameras, lights) and the materials locally. And only Xref the objects. So the materials are in…
I've been trying to build a very simple script to import and export a fbx file in the Python binding of the Autodesk 2015 FBX SDK, but I'm encountering some problems. If i load a very simple .fbx into the script ( containing a skinned mesh and several bones), the script appears to read global settings fine- I can access…
Ok, I'll add some descriptions under each image. It's a lot quicker to do that sort of stuff now that I'm not using Lightbox or anything. I am going to add some game art stuff in there soon. Just props and stuff. Should I add them to the main 3D section or make another tab up top? I know most game folio sitesonly contain…

GUI update each container now can have its view/scale mode and can be tweaked by sliding on the container bars (black ones in the ss) Variables (1d,2d,3d) are making their way slowly into the interface and…
You first have to assign a list controller to the - in your screenshot - position controller A list controller can contain other sub controllers and will show the "available" entry The screenshot of your tutorial shows that there is already a list controller added to the position controller, containing 3 sub controllers…
Garage Update Omar Naranjo here, I went quite light on the block out only to get a sense of where the bigger objects would go in my scene, there is space to place a car, I will place the car partially covered for added interest but the main focus will be on the work bench. It will contain an assortment of tools and as well…
So I take it you've decompiled the models and you have a bunch of SMD files? The majority of those files are animations that do not contain a mesh. There is one reference SMD that contains the mesh. That's the one you want to locate and import. I've also decompiled all of the TF2 character models and textures, then saved…
This might not be to everyone's liking as it contains videos of veterinary surgeons performing autopsy's and as such it contains graphic imagery http://www.channel4.com/programmes/inside-natures-giants/episode-guide/series-1 I got told about this by my friend at work. Its a new series where they perform autopsy on various…
