Re: How to import md3 files into Maya 7
I have an importer script, grabbed it from the Quake Rally boys a few years back for Maya 4.5; it works in 5.0 and 6.0 Not tried it in 6.5, or 7.0 (didn't think 7 was released yet, only pre-order). Gimme a few hours I'll check my archieves for it. Also might still be online at http://www.q3rally.com -
Re: What software are the best for their purposes?
3DS MAX is the fastest, more reliable, it's robust with the largest community, more plugins and scripts than anything else out there and if you're looking into the game industry is the program that most game studios use it's the best for modeling and many other tasks, which program to use in 3D, it's the easiest questions… -
Re: [Maya] Select only weighed joints?
Try this mel script to select the joints, used in the skinCluster of specific meshes: string $sl[] = `ls -sl -fl`; string $s; string $out[] = {}; for ($s in $sl ) { select -r $s; string $skin[] = `skinCluster -q -inf`; print( $skin ); appendStringArray( $out, $skin, size($skin) ); } select -r $out; -
Re: Migrating from Unity to Unreal -- best system for foliage spawning and splatmap generation?
Look into blueprint scripting. It will really open up a lot of opportunities. Even though Unreal had a decent toolset by default, it highly relies on blueprints. So if you find some missing tool or feature, sometimes you are better making your own and you really can. If it doesn't exist already on the marketplace. -
Re: 3DS Max - Outline 2010-2012 version offline?
Outliner 2 works perfectly for me in Max 2014/2015 I do not use the install routines though, i simply copy the script folders over from the old installs. So i do not know if the installer is able to deal correctly with the changed folder structure in Max 2013/2014/2015 -
Re: New to modular...
How important is it that pieces snap to the grid in the game engine if you do the layout in your 3D app? Besides snapping is there any other benefits to making modular pieces fit to the grid? I would layout my pieces in maya(snapping but not in respect to a grid) and then use a python script to send that over to UDK. -
Re: how to take out a texture from a viewport?
If you want a hi-res screengrab directly from Max viewport, you might want to try the GrabViewport script by Leslie Vandenbroek. Download it from Xoliul's website under the Download section. You can input the resolution manually compare to the default screengrab which depends on your viewport size. _Revel -
Re: Video animation (corperate software)
With this kind of project, you're usually given the script and have to design the animation around it. The audio files arrive at some point, and you have to ensure that your animations match up. It's actually like that in games, as well - the voices are recorded long before the game's art has progressed past the rough… -
Re: Learning trim sheets. Some questions...
Good call. I just did a test and I seem to have eliminated the seam. Now my next issue is lining up these UV shells. Is there a better way to do this than to adjust each shell meticulously? I know Morten used a script for this, but I can't seem to find it. Any ideas? -
Re: Converting polys to Sub D Problem
Does the script editor give you any helpful information? Maya's subdivision surfaces are kind of icky, any reason you're not just using Smooth Mesh preview/convert for this barrel? On second glance, your polygons look rounded anyway, is it already a sub-d shape, or are you actively in smooth preview?
