Re: Maya: Make Planar tool?
I wrote this little script that averages verts on whichever axis you specifiy - I use this one quite a bit. Of course, it doesn't average on anything except the world X ,Y, or Z (or all 3) - so maybe not exactly what you're looking for - but it might help. ////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// //… -
Re: Maya--->Max questions
Editable Poly for sure. Set up hotkeys for Connect, Collapse and edge ring/loop selection. I use C, X, R and F respectively since I have my hand on that side of the keyboard anyway. For example, select an edge, I hit R then C and I have a new edge loop along the halfway point of the edge ring. Similarly, select an edge,… -
Re: Alternative solutions, possibly next gen solutions...
It is called multi-direction displacement in Blender. This is the only thing I know about it other than what you showed :D . I think this should need 4 channels (r,g,b,a) to store the direction and the amount. A positive side can be against simple displacement is that you need less detailed basemesh with this. The ear or… -
Re: Sick of the quality of games (not gameplay related)
*You'd have played the later chapters more recently. But my point is that when a very short game is still taking a significant amount of time to develop, would you really be happy to wait 4~ months (random figure) to get the next 30 minute installment? That to me seems wayyy too fragmented. I think the idea of "episodic"… -

Re: help! lost my Maya skincluster!
hey guys, thanks a lot Frump -- thanks. I'm giving it a shot, but it's giving me bad results. it's applying the weights.. wellllll.. pretty fucked up actually. I'm going to keep playing with options and see if i can't get it to work right. It might have re-numbered the verticies when i froze the object or something. who… -
Re: Bones.. arg!
Thanks you guys Right after I fixed that I realized that some bones in my character's hand were a little off centered. Only way to fix them that I know of was to save the envelopes, remove the skin modifier, re-orient the bones, and reapply the skin modifier and load up the old envelopes. So! After I fixed the bones and… -
ASCII 3D file formats
[I apologize if this message gets posted twice. I thought I posted the first one but can't find it on the forum, so maybe I didn't post correctly.] My game will just use small, static textured models consisting of independent triangles. I would like to find the simplest possible file format that ideally just lists the… -
freelancing or selling 3d models
i'm from egypt so we don't have that many opportunities for 3d artists if any at all so the only way i can work as a 3d artist is by being a freelancer, so i'm learning 3ds max and i was wondering about the type of files i will be expected to provide ? high poly or low poly ? and if i was to provide a high poly model will… -
From XSI to Maya - help me get my bearings
Hey guys, I've used XSI for ... wow a long time now. About 4 years. Anyway. I've decided I want to go to Full Sail for their Game Art degree (finally some official training :D ) and I've learned they use Maya there. So in anticipation, I've started messing around with it. I've heard XSI is pretty similar to Maya, but so…
