Re: What's your favourite engine?
The importing process for Half Life 2 is a pain. But the faceposer and lipsync tools for that game are easily the best in the business. The level of characterization and expression possible on the in-game avatars is nothing short of incredible. And the fact that it uses the Microsoft Speech SDK 5.1 to time the phonemes… -
Re: F.E.A.R. Scared me shitless
squirrel, I could see my weapon the whole time. No idea why youre glitching. Gauss, I think you need to play more of the demo to make an more informed opinion. You've played abuot 5-10 minutes it seems. I agree that the force burst is odd, but its hardly very annoying. I also dont understand why you wouldn't like the… -
Re: 30 years of MAX
Hmm... according to that history Nitrous was introduced in Max2011, is that really true? It's the last version I used and I do recall at the office we skipped several updates because nobody wanted to deal with being a beta tester for a new viewport in production. Anyway, Softimage 3D on SGI (at Uni) was my entry into the… -
Re: [RANT]What I really REALLY hate about Blender as a 3ds Max user.
So just going to post these because these exact things bothered me a shit ton when I tried out blender for the 2.8 release. Editable Primitives: https://blendermarket.com/products/wonder-mesh Also look into Speedflow for that For the empty thing Maxivz made a couple of tools that help with some of the deformers.… -
Re: 3dsmax uv editor help please!
so what is happening here is that the max folks started limiting their texture size to something like 512 res for new nitrous viewport. You can do one of two things here... switch back to direct 3d in your preferences, (your going to have to check, fit bitmap to closest size... something like that) or use this script to up… -
Re: Headus UVLayout VS Autodesk Bonus Tools Auto Unwrap UV Tools
You can write custom scripts to get around this with the ls -preSelectHilite (-psh) command. { string $preSelect[] = `ls -fl -psh`; string $select[] = `ls -fl -sl`; //If more components are pre-selected than selected if (`size $preSelect` > `size $select`) { select $preSelect; polyMapCut; select -cl; } //If you have more… -
Re: Making mesh adjustments after unwrap in 3ds Max
So I ended up collapsing the Unwrap UVW modifier and making the fixes - strangely, checking preserve UV's then fixing the problems didn't work. Either way, all I have to do now is redefine a couple of seams and I'm done - thanks for saving me hours of work, Ian! Just a quick question - is there a tool or script that allows… -
Re: Portfolio and hiring: does the toolbelt matter?
If you want to be a technical artist you should learn Maya first. It helps to know both max and Maya but in my experience most tech art jobs will be using Maya. There's python scripting for Maya so you should be able to pick it up pretty quickly based off your blender experience. A lot of packages use python for scripting.… -
Re: maya instanced Mirror
Sounds really similar to the way I work. I wrote something a while back to speed things up a bit. It's a really basic script that I have on a shelf button. When first run, it creates two instance groups, one with a -1 scale value on the axis of your choice. When it's run with objects selected, it'll add them to the groups… -
Re: Man ripping game models and selling them
I've seen this a few months, I kinda know this guy from a reverse engineering forum I go to (don't think ill of me!), he's mostly a leacher as in he doesn't really contribute just asks stuff. Stuff like this is looked down upon in that forum, only tools, scripts and info are posted. It seems he's offering his service to…
