For the night scene i added volumetric fog to be very subtle and barely visible. night skylight with a slight blue tint and some indoor lighting, while darkening the exterior hdri light The key difference between the day scene and night scene is the…
I wouldn't really say that anything is necessarily harder than others. I do believe that artists in general need to put a lot more hours into what they do to become great, but then again it's pretty much the same with every job. Some people are good with coding, some people have an eye/hands for art. Each job has it's own…
sorry to revive from the dead, but I need help turning this code into python.. getting an error here: finalBorder [ len( finalBorder ) ] = curEdge # Error: line 1: IndexError: file <maya console> line 20: list assignment index out of range # Here is the code so far: import maya.cmds as cmds import maya.mel as mel objList =…
the quick outline of how to program that (in pseudo code) var pictures = ["url1","url2",...];var frame;var clickStart;var currentPic;var offset;window.onload = function(){ var preloader = new Preloader(); preloader.load(pictures) preloader.addEventListener("complete", onComplete); frame = document.getElementByID("frame");…
Hey man, select the part of the code you want to make a hotkey of and then drag and drop it on your toolbar. a button will appear. then go to Customize User Interface and in "category" choose DragAndDrop. Voila. Find you script there and assign a hotkey. You can also rename it along the way. Kinda anal way but I don't know…
wow, first a giant earthquake which they survived pretty well thanks to their amazing engineering and building codes, but then a tsunami no one could prepare for, then after shocks and now a nuclear disaster... I would offer PC'ers in Japan a spot on my couch but after reading about how the northwest is a powder keg…
Hand-painting textures is great. It's a skill that I very much wish I was more polished at. There is no real substitute for custom hand-painted textures. I'm not proposing that these programs be used as a substitute. I just think they are a great way to get really good-looking placeholder textures. If you need to get some…
Good to see people getting a use out of this :) @Froyok: Thanks for bringing those errors up. I swear I thought i put in checks but probably removed them at some point. Will fix those up today. Regarding preserve mesh input connections, if something is grouped, the fbx exporter will export that group as one mesh. LOD's…
Of course there are exceptions. The complexity of the game for instance. And definately avoid poor programmers attempting to make the next big thing. The thing is, there seems to be a difficulty in communication between programmers with no art experience, and artist with no programming experience. There are programmers who…
You can add a editor script that overrides the default import behavior. I don´t know if the code below still works. I used it for a old project some years ago because a lot of assets used the same materials. And i´m a lazy guy and didnt wanted to change the materials for each mesh on the import manually. You need to put it…
