Re: Reccomend some Maya tools, along the lines of digitalRaster?
i haven't seen many bugs in maya vertex tools, but i think the tools are just not suitable for reasonable editing. a cool tool is VertexChameleon: http://www.renderheads.com/portfolio/VertexChameleon/#Home the plugin has some stability issues and undo is not working, but it was worth the money. as they are a bit slow in… -
Re: Solved: Quixel Colors in 3ds Max shows no material ID preset?
A fix for the current MaxRun.ms not working is create a MaxRun.py in the C:\Program Files\Quixel SUITE 2.0\colors folder and paste the following: import os import sys quixelPath = os.path.dirname(os.path.realpath("main.py")) libPath = os.path.join(quixelPath,… -

They should have just done this with Max and Maya from the beginning and got… -
Re: Starting point for understand shaders and their fundamentals.
@CrazyButcher: It's been a while since I have coded and I remember vaguely about sorting (bubble sort etc) so definitely looking into refreshing my memory on those. Thanks for the awesome feedback. I browsed through 8 pages over at tech artist and a lot of them recommended python/C# so definitely going down that route. Im…
