Re: Switching from Max to Modo - Tips?
This. From experience Modo will at every point create geo with randomly flipped normals, double faces, double vertice and alot of other stuff that can't be fixed by hand and has to be done tthrough cleanup. Like Bridging a gap, extruding along spline, and so much more seem to cause flipped normals. Also you have to really… -
Re: Shader - Unormalized Light Vector
Hey guys, it's me again, some quick questions: 1- When transforming my Light Vector to World Space, does it need to be Local, or is there something more to it? I currently have this LV -> Transform from Local to World -> Etc... (Object World Position - World Light Vector). 2- I was looking up the math for Length, which… -
Re: 3dsMax : how to mirror objects and keep a correct matrix ?
Hey guys, thanks for your time, but I've found a great script by Paul Neale which do the job. http://paulneale.com/scripts/resetXform/PEN_resetXform.htm I wanted to mirror an object so i have 2 objects, like for example, wheels of a car, keep their local axis, and a correct transform matrix. So i can't use symmetry… -
Re: [MaxScript] - Remove duplicate materials from array
Your function will delete the middle item of the list (which in your case also happens to be one of the duplicate entries). To make it work, you can for example try something like this: ( function uniquifyArray arr = ( local matNames = #() for m in arr where ( local found = findItem matNames m.name > 0 if not found do… -
Re: used weights?
Well, it's tough enough EVER finding used weights, let alone on a messageboard of computer game art geeks who live all over the world. You really have to find someone local to buy them from, as shipping on a full set would be far too expensive. Check your local used sporting goods shops, Big-5 type stores, classifieds,… -
Re: Is there a good version control option for a broad spectrum of artistic applications
I bet you could set up a cloud system with it. The key thing is, each user downloads a local copy of the repository, either the whole thing, or just the directories they're interested in. You work with local files, and d/l the latest as needed. You're also allowed to lock files, so only you can edit them. This prevents… -
Re: How do you reset the "subobject" gizmo orientation?
switching coordinate systems doesn't have any effect other than changing the orientation of the gizmo. I do think there's an issue in editable poly where local space coordinate system gets out of synch with what you think are the vertex/edge normals - this only seems to occur in edge and vertex mode whereas with faces the… -
Re: [MAYA] CREASE+ - Tool for Hard Surface
Quick modeling here , using the Local Bevel feature (apply HBevel on Face selection) and It's a big step forward thank to @nervouschimp for the idea... Not only It allows for more precise beveling operation, but it helps prevent errors that you'll get in object Mode. However Local beveling as not all the security checks… -
Re: Marmoset Toolbag 2 | Feedback & Suggestions
Hi toolbag developers! I like toolbag and have a couple things to look at. The first one is feature request: Often when your model is in progress you need to look at pure color of your maps: albedo, spec, gloss, etc.. so if there would be an option to quick switch between render modes to see pure albedo, spec, gloss..… -
Re: MaxScript - Projections?
Good! For the sake of optimization if you plan to use it on large objects, you could store calculated positions x, y and z in an Array of Point3, then shift the whole vertexes in a single step with polyOp.moveVerts, it would be much faster. Something like: local iNumVerts = obj.getNumVertices() local ap3Shift = #()…
