Re: Why Modo?
haha, ask away indeed! : ) I came for the selectioncapabilities and sub-tools, stayed for the customisation. Went from lightwave -> Maya -> Modo. Just keep finding new improvements to my workflows constantly. Too bad i cant script worth shit, otherwise i would make more scripts, haha. -
Re: 3ds Max command line baking?
Thanks, guys. I was just talking to a guy here at work, and he sent me a script that automates ao baking, so I'm going to see if I can rework to make it run from command line. I'm more of a copy and paste guy when it comes to scripting, so this could be interesting. :) -
Re: issue in marmoset when using normal map
Your low poly should have all UV border edges set as hard edges. This should resolve your artifacting, provided you are using a cage. You should probably grab this MEL script from Jon Stewart. It automatically hardens UV borders. http://jonathonstewart.blogspot.com/search/label/Scripts -
Directory path question
Seems like it should be simple, but in maxscript how can I tell a script I’m working on to run the functions from a directory in the same folder without having to type the entire absolute path? For example: myScript_main.ms //How can I tell this script to read a directory in the same folder no matter what machine it’s on?… -

Maxscript: Possible to launch a .Bat file from maxscript?
I'm writing some level tools for 3ds max and would like to launch a .bat file once an export has been completed. Any way to do this? The docs have lots of info about batch scripts (running max in silent mode from the command line) but I need to run a batch script from within max. Thanks! -Tyelr -

Re: Switching between IK/FK without auto-matching?
Thanks for the replies guys! I appreciate it! That script sounds/looks very interesting Steven. Is that something you are planning on sharing later down the road? Anyway, I guess I'll have do my best to hide it in the animations for the time being. Using locators isn't such a bad idea though. Maybe I'll try to make some… -
Re: Gradient maps in quixel suit.
Thank you for the quick reply Wiktor. :) Forgive me if I'm missing something but that Max script doesn't do the same as the koddeCreateRampMap script for Maya. I'm able to use the Gradient Map Tool just fine but don't get any dialog or options to bake for X, Y, Z. Preparing to apply face to palm! Thank you, Jon -
