Re: Baking Normals Topic: Cages. Are they old news?
@Devon M This one works in Maya. I can't remember who made it, but it sits on my shelf and I use it constantly. It's in MEL: string $objList[] = `ls -sl -o`; string $uvBorder[]; string $edgeUVs[]; string $finalBorder[]; for ($subObj in $objList) { select -r $subObj; polyNormalPerVertex -ufn true; polySoftEdge -a 180 -ch 1… -
Re: Alternative Phone Carriers
I recently switched to t-mobile based on cost. The plan is similar to what Zac said. I believe it's more like 100 a month for the most basic with two people on the plan, although they advertise it at 80 (40 a piece), there are extra fees that bring it up. It's unlimited calls, unlimited internet. However you only get 3G or… -
Re: Turtle Animation
Great work! Just some stuff to think about. Animating quads is murder. I love the cat rig procedural walks for animals and especially insects. The walk steps are too small giving an aged impression rather than a slow one. When we smile our cheeks puff out some. Try not to do cam cuts over 180 degrees so as not to loose the… -
Re: car scene
Looks like a GTO Judge? http://www.colinsclassicauto.com/detail.php?car=143 If it is, you need the hood mounted tachometer You might be able to scare up some more orthographic reference that could help fine tune the look. I'm not saying you shouldn't use the stylized ref you have, but car nuts will crit you to death about… -

Re: Hotkey for Maya's harden edge
Use Window>Settings/Prefs>Hotkey Editor. You can get the command name for anything via the Script Editor (click the box in the very bottom right to pop it up). Check History>Echo All Commands, then click on the menu item you want the name for. In this case, we might get "polySoftEdge -a 0 -ch 1 pCube1.e[1];" but we don't… -
Re: My First Short Film // Spring Cleaning
great first film, dude!! seriously! Though, for the future, there are some things you need to think about. You break the 180 degree rule. When he first pulls the curtain back, shes in the left corner, pulling the curtain open to his right. but then when he shuts it, shes in the right corner, and he pulls it shut, again to… -
Re: Steam Summer Sale Start
Seriously thinking about getting Modo indie for $180, but how the hell am I supposed to bake a high poly model in xNormal with a 100k export limit? I think I read that Modo 901 supports Mikkt space, so I guess I don't have to use xNormal if it works well. Or I could find a weird work around by subdividing a mesh in a… -
Re: Lever action rifle
The modeling looks pretty solid from what I can tell. The texture needs work. Repeating rifles especially the Winchesters are typically made of a few types of metal depending on their purpose in the gun. It depends on who made it and when. Some have a hexagon shaped barrel which can help bring some detail to what can be a… -
Re: Substance Painter - Latest Build - 2019.1
And the updates just keep rolling..... :) Brilliant stuff lads. Love it. I really wish that the shelf system could be sorted somehow. It really is getting to be unmanageable. A sub-folder structure with the ability to add custom folders would be fantastic. Even a hotkey floating dialogue like Zbrush lightbox, or Mari's…
