maybe worth investing some max scripting time. That's what I did in the uni days when using 20+ computers for rendering. I never had much success or luck with raysat, backburner etc. So I usually would write a maxscript that would synchronize gamma settings, output settings, camera's. At least for the file name conventions…
Thx cryrid, what im looking for is something similar to the 'flat' that you posted in that picture, but without touching the 'discontinuity' option as this effects the actual renderings. I just want to view it in the viewports. It's just a pain having to keep going to the approximation menu in between modeling and…
I looked over most of the graphite tools and found that I already had scripts to do alot of the cool stuff, including geopoly :p I guess I could delete a lot of scripts now... why aren't some of the ribbon tools hotkeyable by default (geopoly for example!) Have to resort to macros.run "PolyTools" "GeoPoly" :/ I tried…
Hi there, just tested the macroscript on 3dstudio 2016 and vray ADvanced 3.6- I cant get the export function to work,exporting from the Megascans Bridge directly to 3D Studio, nothing happens. i followed the suggested steps from the Megascans Bridge - 3DSMax Integration (copy the script to the Scripts/Startup…
How come he had to write a specialized script to mimic Biped's functions (like copy from one side to the other) in Maya? Doesn't Maya have similar tools? Also, I thought it was really neat how they used referenced rigs, and then have the scripts check if those files are up to date and update accordingly. Is this possible…
So after a little googling this is what I came up with. http://dl.dropbox.com/u/1615250/senemodo.zip Seneca over at the foundry forums has a script collection that includes a quick mirror script inside "geometry creation and duplication" once it is run inside modo. Basically does everything but merge the verts. And there's…
This topic is a little bit old, but I have also found a very good solution to this problem. It's not always easy to reimport your scene, so I prefer this trick : Source : http://www.digitaltutors.com/forum/showthread.php?26781-couldnt-find-startup-camera Simply use in the script editor/or in a mel script :viewSet -home…
I did a custom mel script to rig the wheels on my vehicle. Finding the algorithm was easy, the struggle was applying the mathematical formula to mel script and then get it working on all 3 X,Y,Z Axis. I may do a vlog going into detail about the problems the other youtube tutorials gave. But here is a demo of what my rig is…
I think it's great that there is a good free alternative and hope it also gives some downward pressure on the prices of the commercial packages. I would probably not learn 3DSMax now either. But I have so much time invested in it, and in custom scripting, that for me it's not worth it to switch now. I will probably…
oh, using shift and ctrl when adjusting values was a new one for me :D one thing that i use very often is that i isolate objects, here's a nice script that isolate the selected objects, i've put this script on the i button, and it's toggles isolate select on and off. saves me a lot of time $currentPanel = `getPanel…
