Its probably easier to store the last export directory (either as a custom attribute on the mesh or in a variable. Depends how you want to handle different maya sessions) and then use that to generate the directory path. EDIT: You can query it with $currentDir = `optionVar -q $gDirRetainingOptionVar`; That will get you the…
Thank you Leonard Teo for such an great event (ILM Art Department Challenge). Really exited about this challenge but i have a very noobish query hope you will be able to answer, P.S. i read the rule but couldn't find my answer : Since i am at my initial stage of learning concept art and have fully competent to put my ideas…
You're using the -anchorPoint to get the mouse position,but like the documentation says : Which means it will only give you the mouse position when you click somewhere in the viewport.First you need to declare the -pressCommand flag and give it a procedure or any other command to execute.The procedure we are talking about…
Hello everyone! I am developing an asset (low poly digital Twin) for VR (in Unity), with LOTS of parts…meaning the UV space will contain a lot of islands etc. In the scene, it will mainly be just this asset. I created the asset implementing Atlas maps and for a 'few' parts with a pattern they had their own unique UV space…
Surprisingly (or unsurprisingly depending on who you ask) google doesn't give any relevant results to such a simple query. So hopefully it's okay to ask here. My guess/intuition is that it's because of massive amounts of cache misses due to random memory access but i don't know for sure. I could read about the entire…
Hi everyone, Here comes another query. Well, this might be a silly one :) . I was working on a low poly dagger model in 3Ds max 2009. This model is a commercial one. So, stripping texture paths is mandatory which I did successfully in .max format. Then I exported the same model (already stripped path) into .fbx format.…
Hi all, I'm currently in the planning stages for a turn based game for PC, and am looking to make contact with a 3D character modeller and get a feel for the prices being charged. I appreciate that it's a difficult question, but I was wondering if based on the image and information below, if you might give a price estimate…
Hey, excuse the disgustingly noob question/fail - this is my first attempt at zbrush... I only figured out what dynamesh did yesterday... my problem is that I've been using dynamesh to divide the model and go up in resolution rather than zreshmeshing and then dividing at an early stage (I didn't know and only just found…
I'm writing a simple script for my wife, when I click this button it checks to see if one of the UV sets is named lightmap and should producer an error and stop. If it doesn't find light map it should run the second part of the script. For some reason even when light map exists as a UV set it runs the error, but then also…
Hi guys, I'm currently at work so apologies for any posting my actual camera view from MAYA but I wanted to query this whilst I had a few minutes of spare time. I'm currently working on this concept: However my camera view does not allow me to have such as large amount on screen at all times. In that although I match up…
