Re: Maxscript: Accessing a property via a variable syntax?
cw: Thanks, that's cleaner. I actually needed to do some different things than set a basic property in my real function, but your reply set me down the path to a cleaner solution. Strangely, 'hasProperty' will return false if you're querying about a custom attribute. 'isProperty', however, will work just fine. I ran into… -
Re: Need suggestion on render to texture alpha depth issue
Thank you for the suggestion. I was think of using bending method to make it flat and render from orthography camera but unfortunately this won't work. Because I have other cylinder / complicated shape (think the case of hair) models with the same problem. I am trying to look for a general way of solving this problem… -
Re: [UE4] Robot - critique, suggestions
Very cool, it's indeed a beast! The things that come to my mind are that in terms of functionality it's a little unclear as to how it's supposed to be used, is there someone on the inside or is it remotely operated? Having something that can show the functionality would bring an extra sense of character and personality to… -
Re: How do I reset surface normals in 3ds Max?
Hmm ... I tried the above Turn to Poly on top of an Editable Poly w/ mismatched face normals, but it didn't unify them, and actually made a mess when collapsing (duplicated the mesh on top of itself?). I'm assuming what you want is the Normal modifier's "Unify Normals" function, which makes all faces point the same way… -
Re: Laser Guided Smart Bullets
most probably, this thing won't even work half the time. the TOW missile, which got about the same functionality, has a fail ratio of 26%. this being a new system, will probably be more along the 40% fail range. there's problems with laser range finders too. smoke will scatter the laser, borking the tracking, the fins… -
Re: UDK - Material - Eye - UV Dilation/Expansion from Center
OK, some more testing and I think I got it, thanks to a certain Gaussian function ;P Now I'm trying to figure out how to clamp and get actual values of light distance from -1 to +2 so that the dilation is light dependent, but am unable to get it right, the eye just...wobbles in place when I put up the light. As it shows in… -
Re: Zbrush for iPad is out
I got a small tablet for portable sculpting and tried Nomad. It's quite decent; the brushes don't really function the way you'd expect coming from ZBrush, though, at least to me. Took some adjusting to. But being able to rotate the model any way you like just by touch is extremely convenient. Especially if you switch on… -
HIK: Stay In Place
Hi everyone :) I have a HIK rig in Maya 2012 and now need to export an animation where the character moves around in the world as an animation where the character stays in place. I remember that Motionbuilder used to have a simple check mark to do that. Looking it up I even found this tutorial: [ame="… -

Two questions regarding Maya mechanics.
Hey! As a native 3ds max user heavily under the influence of said applications mechanics, I have a question regarding a function I want to exploit in Maya. The problem revolves around being able to select multiple edge rings at once and applying an edge split (Maya). In 3ds max, the action can be achieved by selecting the…
