Tool Announce - ZBrush: A3D Tools 2
Hello Polycount! I'm Pete, long time lurker and full time TA. In my spare time I develop tools and scripts to help automate some of the more tedious parts of making art. I've recently released a new tool that might be interesting to members of Polycount- A3D Tools 2. The tools are a collection of scripts to help with batch… -
Re: Modo: Pixel Snapping UVs
To accomplish this I've set up a popup form that runs a set of scripts that: 1. Set the Coordinate Rounding to "Fixed" 2. Set the Fixed Increment to one of the following values: 0.125 = My modeling snap setting, I switch to this when not UVing. 0.03125 = 1 pixel on a 32 x 32 map 0.015625 = 1 pixel on a 64 x 64 map… -
Re: Custom Rigs, and Facial morphs for Next Gen Chars.
Our engine supports both custom rigs and biped rig exporting, but personally, I really don't like the biped. Every time I try to animate with it I just end up really annoyed. I never have been able to get used to it's quirkiness. For several years I just made a new custom rig for each character, but that was a lot of work.… -
Re: Moving all my work
if you are not upgrading to new versions of your 3d software but rather just transferring straight over then it should be simple: - after installing max and maya on the new system, copy the respective user pref folders over from your old machine, overwriting what the installation procedure has created. - also copy over the… -
Re: Immortal Redneck, a FPS roguelite set in Egypt - Devlog
New devlog! This one is shorter, that the previous one was a scrolling nightmare. Sorry about that. So, we have a new shader to dissolve stuff in sand. Like this: How does it work? Easy: the shader has two values: one that allow us to make transitions from any texture to sand and another one that makes the object… -
Re: Art Standards within an art department?
It all sounds perfectly sensible. Have meetings about it where you explain this to everbody, use some sort of internal wiki. When somebody does something wrong, talk to them right away to point their mistake out. Also, remember that scripting things make a lot of these things much easier. Hopefully you have a good tech… -
Re: 3ds max user learning MAYA
I worked exclusively with Max since it's release and know it pretty well, inside and out. I had to switch over to Maya for about a year and found it very alien at first. The biggest issue was just not having a true understanding of what Max was actually doing under all the fancy modifiers, dials, and buttons. Maya is much… -

Re: Max VS. Maya
Heh, I guess you just described XSI, Max and Maya there. For me: * Max: Fast, non-destructive high-poly modelling, solid viewport, simple (but often limited) scripting tools. Poor consistency and clunky UV integration. * Maya: Poor polygon modelling, glitchy viewport, powerful node-based system, hugely customisable… -
[3DSMAX] / [GENERAL] How to automatically set Edge Alignment Tris?
In 3dsmax you can use Edit Tris, to manually adjust edges of the triangles withing polygons. Is there a way to automate (unify) the edge alignment/orientation? I have tried out Zbrush Align Edge. it helps somewhat but does not align all edges in one direction. Is there maybe a 3dsmax script, or a tool to align the edges…
