So we just upgraded to max 2011 and I've run into this problem when i am trying to snap verts while using axis constraints. when i select the verts this little circle pops up in the center of the gizmo right on top of verts. but unfortunately when i try and move the verts and snap them to something else I can't grab them…
I didn't write this, it's from a friend. Toggles Max 2010's ribbon tooltips on/off. Seems you have to toggle it at least once to get it started, then on the second hit it will turn off most of the tooltips (except for the main one). macroScript RibbonTooltipsToggle category:"Modeling: Graphite Tools" toolTip:"Toggle the…
Hey whats up Everyone! I'm a little late to the show but I thought it would be fun to jump in on the contest. I've decided to use the Rocket Girl rig found here (http://www.vmcomix.com/2017/10/rocket-girl-rig.html) for my animations. I spent some time animating a run cycle for her last weekend and now I'm working through…
I'm about to start working on an animated short for my last semester in university and I'm somewhat lost on where to start with cel-shading. I'm shooting for a shading style similar to the one seen in Wind Waker but I don't know how to set this up in Maya 2018, or any other version of Maya really. Working with shaders is a…
Returning with a small update for anyone encountering similar. When building this model I was using Maya 2012. Ive since gone back to Maya 2010 and I have had no issues. So like Warby said, "Its a Mental Ray bug", at least in 2012
2019 was a great year for personal art - more than any year of my career so far. Even though the projects are/were small, it's been fun to go on a nostalgia trip, re-imagining some of my favorite characters from my childhood. Hope to do more soon! A bit different work than I usually do, leaning more towards concept rather…

Where…
Alright, I'm going through Eat 3D's Fountain Tutorial and getting used to Max 2010 and either I'm going crazy, I hit a weird hotkey new from 2009, or Max is freaking out. Take a look: Movie: http://screencast.com/t/QeO9Aduie5dZ I can't move a vert along the x-axis. I can move it along the z-axis y axis really weird and…
I was wondering if anyone knows how to mirror bone (not biped) animations in 3ds max 2014? I've got a run right animation and rather than having to make it all again but for the run left, I thought it might be easier to mirror the animation and yet it turns out that's harder than I thought. Also it's for use in UE4 so I…
So 2015 is gonna be a pretty epic year for games. For a while I was thinking I'd only be interested in playing a small handful, but after reading this month's OPM... the list has been extended a mammoth amount :poly142: My list starting with PS4: The Order 1886 Uncharted 4 Bloodborne (and the revamped DS2 shortly after)…
