Re: Hotkey to swap from View to Local (max)
Hey man, select the part of the code you want to make a hotkey of and then drag and drop it on your toolbar. a button will appear. then go to Customize User Interface and in "category" choose DragAndDrop. Voila. Find you script there and assign a hotkey. You can also rename it along the way. Kinda anal way but I don't know… -
Re: Japan is getting ROCKED
wow, first a giant earthquake which they survived pretty well thanks to their amazing engineering and building codes, but then a tsunami no one could prepare for, then after shocks and now a nuclear disaster... I would offer PC'ers in Japan a spot on my couch but after reading about how the northwest is a powder keg… -
Re: Map Zone - procedural textures
Hand-painting textures is great. It's a skill that I very much wish I was more polished at. There is no real substitute for custom hand-painted textures. I'm not proposing that these programs be used as a substitute. I just think they are a great way to get really good-looking placeholder textures. If you need to get some… -

The thing is, there seems to be a difficulty in communication between programmers with no art experience, and artist with no programming experience. There are programmers who… -
Re: Groups Vs Collections (Max v Blender)
IMO a group behaves as an object in 3d max while collection is just an attribute, a tag of a sort . One object may be in many collections at the same time . To have collections behave same way as a group in 3dmax you can use join geometry node in Blender . Or just output collection in geometry nodes , it would became a… -
Re: How to share one material with all my objects ?
You can add a editor script that overrides the default import behavior. I don´t know if the code below still works. I used it for a old project some years ago because a lot of assets used the same materials. And i´m a lazy guy and didnt wanted to change the materials for each mesh on the import manually. You need to put it… -
Re: Modeling Destructibles
Yea, the swapping method works with that technique. The programmers made it so that we could set a static flag on pieces that we wanted to stay stationary. Objects with a static flag would also stay under the joints if they were animated. So in your ship example, the cannonball hits the ship, the main part of the ship…
