Re: pivot not moving with Bend
I couldn't make it work either. Seems that the bend modifier doesn't affect the transform matrix of the objects directly. So I wrote a quick script that will place an instanced light at every point in a spline. Don't know if that's really what you're looking for, but it might come in handy. Create a spline with two points,… -
Re: more power to my rig....
Only 8 cores! How will we manage to make do with so little?! :p The cheapo i7 920 chip rocks for a desktop solution. It's a fraction of what the Xeons cost with strong performance. I've got one with 12gb and easily render million-poly scenes in seconds. If you're into something that require epic amounts of rendering,… -
Re: taking a class online and I am questioning the teachers topology & edge flow
I don't use Maya but almost sure you can. It has Attribute transfer that can transfer UV and vertex normals as far as I know. Arnold does have rounding corners shaders to mask hard edges . Everything else could be painted in SPainter directly on low poly for hard surface objects. So hi poly object for hard surface things… -
Re: Begginer's rigging question
"why people create groups for curve controllers. What do those groups help to offset?" ::That will depends but I can think of 2 cases - to clean the transformation node - to have pivot point on a different position "why we need controllers for joints? You could easily animate the joints, but i don't understand why that's a… -
Re: Free 3dsmax autorig and calling info from other script problem
Nice work man! This rig feels really nice. I'll give it a go later. In Spine_rig.ms there was a function in a function. I just moved that function outside of the other function. I had to rename it to. Because It seems you are reusing function names. In Auto_Rig.ms you created a dependency loop. CreateNulls() references… -
Re: NEED HELP with normal map baking
@rollin thank you so much for the reply back on this, I appreciate that! To answer your first question, the part that I have sculpted detail on only appears on the opposite as well, so only in 2 different places. What do you mean by your first bullet point? What changes are you referring to? I tried your second bullet… -
Re: Substance Source - Master Thread
From what I saw in substance base, 90% procedural materials are not really designed to be scaled up or down until you reassemble them from the very beginning. So I think it safe to estimate the scale for them too. BTW, would be cool if Allegorithmic would do a kind of special Substance composer where I could do for example… -
Re: No Pie`s Workshop Thread
- for transparent textures, there apparently is a way but nothing that's supported through the importer without a load of trickery behind it. Right now most of us just stick with on/off alpha, perhaps valve will enable multiple levels of transparency in the future. - as for the ward shrinking, are you making sure to reset… -
Re: Severe Jaggies in 3Ds Max
What are your system units set to ? Don't forget that Max as seperated settings for the units it displays vs. units it internally uses ( = system units ). All the jumping and jagged lines sound like you have got a system unit scale issue . Or do you have created some far far off object by accident ? or some far far off… -
Re: modo: mirror object and pivot
hmm I can get an object to mirror across with pivot position intact if I freeze it's transforms, but the pivot rotation is not mirrored. it's the same as the original, which is rubbish :/ in that second link, I'm not sure what he means in the second post: 'Playing with this more. In the animate tab I set the center of each…
