Re: Maxscript Mesh Duplication?
Hi Okt, here is a function doing the job. Works with Editable Poly and Mesh. Gets an object and an array of Point3 and clones the source to specified positions, then attaches them to the source. You may want to look to this thread discussing how to speed up attachment of a large number of objects. function cloneNodesToPos… -
Re: Game Industry Layoffs - WTF?
Another business decision that impacts the desire to switch from in-office to remote: some cities in the U.S. offer tax incentives to businesses that fill office space in their municipalities, because all those workers need lunches, gyms, haircuts… local business stimulus y’all! These incentives can rely on a certain… -
Re: Photo Scanning Pikachu
Hi there! I've never made a blog post before.. but I wanted to keep going on this project and be consistent with it. I'm posting this here for my own sake but also a way to be more involved in our industry community, learn new techniques, and hear other artists' perspective or advice, if you're so inclined to give it 😁 I… -
Re: What have you sacrificed for game art?
consider this a clean slate. move where the jobs are. not being local to a large pool of opportunities will hold you back tremendously. while studios will sometimes shell out the cash for relocation, your portfolio/art test/experience has to give them enough reason to. some companies will seriously only look for local… -
Re: Is there a "Preserve UV" option in Max like Maya?
Because the object was scaled non-uniformly. in the future when you scale an object it is wise to do it in "Sub-Object mode" like element instead of "Object mode". This is why its important to reset the scale, Hierarchy Tab > Reset Scale, or like Neox pointed out nuke it from orbit with the Reset Xform utility which does a… -
Re: Matching diffuse/spec to normal maps 1:1 100%
I always use an AO map on top of any local map generated from high-poly geometry. In Max I always bake different "material" sections as different colours like EarthQuake said - as contrasting as possible so you can use them as selections in PS. Just assign different materials with different diffuse colours then add a… -
Syncing files between desktop and laptop
I'm having some trouble keeping my desktop and laptop files in sync, especially for large projects, or just large files. I like to keep a lot of undo levels in zbrush, which balloons the file size. I'd like to find some solution that is fast and simple, even automated. Something where I get home, connect my laptop to my… -
Whats new in 3dcoat textura vs 3dcoatv4?
I hate Substance Painter . Need to paint seamlessly across multiple unique and tillable materials having different from factor . Like a tilable asphalt 2kx2k , a few narrow stripes 64x2k painted lines, and roadside edges both V tilable following the base mesh flow and a local unique cut in a complex crossroad . Plus a… -
3DSMax - Cage, Symmetry and V-ID
Hey to all, I was wondering if anyone had any tips on how to avoid issues with pretty much everything I mentioned in the title, with the following issue: I create a LP mesh. I pop a Project modifier on it. I export my Cage to a Mesh (still inside Max all this). Now here gets the vexing part, my model is symmetrical both… -
