Re: skinning skin tight clothes Maya
depending on how lowpoly your mesh is you could copy paste the skinning from the component editor that + having all quads be triangulated the same way would give you the optimal result but is kind of tedious. a friend of mine wrote me a mel script once that allowed me to select two verts and than transfer the skinning from… -
Re: Why so few custom realtime shaders for Maya?
Mel is fairly easy to script in. I believe the reason is because Max handles hardware rendering much better than Maya. I could be way off but I think Max is D3D whereas Maya is OpenGL? Maya behaves strangely when trying to interpret a normal map in realtime quality a good portion of the time. It is getting much better each… -
Re: Environment Art Beginner Questions
Look at this if you haven't. As mentioned previously, 3ds Max uses "smoothing groups" and Maya uses "soft and hard edges" to do the same thing: http://wiki.polycount.com/SmoothingGroups Test the hard and soft edges. Place them on models and see what you see. If you want the edge to look hard and sharp, then place a hard… -

You may need to disconnect a few controllers to fix the scale/positioning of the joints but it shouldn't be too much work, certainly not as much as building a rig from scratch.

Re: DOOM3 and my child
I hate any form of small melee enemies in FPS games (which is why I hate UT2004 Invasion, all the enemies are either Skaarj variants or tiny melee enemies). Having ones that put you down to 1 health with a single hit only makes it even more annoying. -
Re: 5 Things The Tell Me You're Not Professional.
