Re: Adapting roughness channel and normal intensity in whole project for a new render ?
sbsrender/sbscooker etc are supplied with designer (they're in the program files folder) and can be run from the commandline/batfile/scripts without using automation toolkit. afaik they're exactly the same and take the same commands etc. (i've bootstrapped automation toolkit to use designer tools/libraries rather than the… -
Re: Rumour: Autodesk apparently killing Softimage!
I think in general we're still clinging to old, established ideas of how 3D DCC apps should work and behave. Blender probably does some/a lot of stuff right, but it's not dramatically different from Max or Maya in the end. I'm talking about stuff where all your actions are non-destructive, where users aren't tasked with… -
Re: BRAINSTORM: Ideas for personal projects
I would love to see a Full Throttle bike :) That TTC streetcar project sounds cool. Reminds me of this one mission in Infamous, where they make an armored bus and basically you have to drive it to the hospital. My Personal Projects 1. FBX - UDK tool for Maya. Using this to learn MEL. Basically a batch export tool which can… -
Maya 2017 anim picker
Hi guys! Im new in wirte python scripts in maya ( it is usually in programming ) and this is my first "bigger" project. It's in still under development, but if anybody want to try or use it, it's avalible to download.

Re: Mel script question need help with syntax and setAttr.
You will need to learn string operation. When you encase your variable in double quotes, Maya is using it as is without evaluating it's value. It's been too long since I code in MEL, let me try this in Python. type="Planar", ibd=True, kir=True, md="y")[0] cmds.setAttr('{}.projectionHeight'.format(myProjection), 400)from… -
Re: Maya 2014 File Browser extremely slow?
Yes, sure. Those scripts are very crude, but I'd be happy if you find them useful. In order to use them, go to script editor, then in "command" menu, and then "create new tab". Create one Python and one MEL. This one goes into MEL tab.//Exports single selected item and hierarchy underneath as a FBX file.select -hi;string… -
Re: Substance Designer - Master Thread
No man, you can do that, but it's not "the one holy" workflow. If you want to do this then you have to accept the limitations of 2D unwrapping and work with it a bit. The main advantage in substance is the non-destructible, interlinked workflow, and the fact that you can branch out into further automation if you want to.… -
Re: MAXScript Scripted Objects Crash Course
Yea I figured it might have gone like that. Most of the people I see around that use Maxscript these days have been doing so for many years, very few newcomers willing to put in the effort to learn it (let alone pay for training). Python can be used in used by almost everything these days, so finding people interested in… -
Re: Questions about being a technical artist and going to school
The main thing is find motivated people, so even before starting any degree working with people during game jams can be very helpful. The game design track seems like it deals with game logic and scripting, which is great but isn't really what a tech artist does, I know there are the animation tracks that would allow… -
Re: Autodesk Maya ( please don't kill me)
apart from the "it's just a tool argument", the thinking of a uni could be like this: maya has a stronger foothold in film. Therefore graduates know software used in games AND film. Maya, for a while used to be cheaper than max. Plus maya uses Python for scripting, if the college teaches that, it's more useful than max…
