Re: Technique for modelling tracks
Couple things you could do here: Well, actually before I get too far into it, what modeling program are you using? Either way, here's a few examples you could do in MAX: 1. Extrude along curve/spline (like you said). You could do this and then edit the boring pieces afterward. 2. Model your pieces, create your track with a… -
Re: manual mip maps? or how to avoid texture bleed in atlas
Hi Ashaman73, for sure all you mentioned is right. Anyhow the problem roots also to the point where mipmaps are created. In short: don't mipmap your complete atlas at once but each single tile for it's own. Of course you don't avoid the bleeding from filtering that way. Texture array is something I would love to use but… -
Re: Mel script question need help with syntax and setAttr.
Here's the mel version, I modified it to work with multiple objects just in case. I didn't know about the curly braces thing with python, that's neat! Though in this case doing (myProjection = '.projectionHeight') would also work. $objs = `ls -sl`; for ($obj in $objs) { select $obj; ConvertSelectionToFaces; polyProjection… -

Rise of the Indies Kickstarter
Some Australian folks are putting a documentary of indie games development funded via Kickstarter. While it's not the first of its kind, Rise of the Indies already has a much broader range of interviewees from both independent and commercial video game development and publishing studios and from a much wider array of… -
Maxscript: why storing frequently used function in variable doesn't make access to function faster?
There is a nice advice in MAXScript FAQ: Cache frequently used functions and objects but it doesn't work for me (at all). Why? Script example: (16000 iteration in for loop) startTime = timeStamp() firstSelectedBaseobject = selection[1].baseobject edgesBetweenMatIDs = #() edgesNumber = polyOp.getNumEdges… -
Re: How many of you guys relocated to the US to work for a company?
Yeah, America's immigration policies are brutal. I'm preparing to move over there in the next couple of months on a spouse visa, and there's still a bewildering array of hoops for me to jump through. It's actually quite surprising how many people assume that I automatically qualify for citizenship (not just residency)… -
Re: ArenaNet Art Test - Female Norn
Thanks for the suggestions, Di$array! I haven't had much time to work on her in the last couple days.. but I had a few hours today and decided to rework the torso a bit. It was looking too androgynous and stiff. I studied some ref and the Hazardous course threads a bit and sculpted a form that I think is more feminine… -
Re: How to create Point Light Maps?
Oh wow, Thanks to Jeff Parrott, Swizzle, and indavisual for the examples and tips. We're got a project coming up that is going to include some workshop content as bonuses, so I'd like to figure out as much of this as possible ahead of time to reduce the amount of trial-and-error I have later. This will be a huge… -
Re: Sub 15" Laptop Super Duper non Pooper
I have a Sony Vaio Z and I love it. I7 Core (not quad), an nVidia 330M w/ 1 GB RAM (DX10, no DX11), 8 GB of RAM and dual SSD's in a RAID 0 Array. It's only a 13" screen but has a 1600 x 900 resolution and the whole thing weighs 3 lbs. It's awesome and I can do just about anything on it (including modeling for hours,…
