Re: Maya: Is there a way to batch or sequence render a World Normal pass as a regular image output?
Very easy with Arnold just use an aiUtility node with these settings... shade mode = flat color mode = normal You can also set up an AOV to render it out at the same time as the beauty pass etc. google will explain the technical bits -
Re: Using maya as a game editor for environment art
Well, for character animation usually you don't have the same kind of strict limits as you have for environment art, so it's a different issue in many ways. For environments, usually you have to pay close attention to reusing assets and materials/textures as much as possible, so you don't blow the memory budget or kill… -
[Mudbox 2011] x-ray/see through mode?
Hey guys! I'm kind of new to mudbox and was wondering if there's a mode like in 3D Studio Max where you can make a mesh transparent/see-through/x-ray mode whatever you want to call it. I tried searching but couldn't find anything on it. I feel like the answer is going to be something really obvious but I really can't find… -
Re: Where are the ShaderFX Presets?
The default presets are in the directory: plugcfg_ln/ShaderFX/Scenes I'm not sure the dota shader PRESET ships with 3dsMax. I think we might have only included it with Maya LT. But a preset is nothing more then a quick way to switch between shader graphs. You should have the dota node. If you enable "Advanced Mode" in the… -
Max's 'silent' and 'minimized' mode is neither silent nor minimized?
So I've been working on this tool that allows a user to run maxscript files in succession on a selection of .max files, through the use of the command line interface that max offers. Now obviously I want to run max in the background, so i'm using the following statement: 3dsmax.exe -q -silent -mip -u MAXScript… -
Re: world align normal issue - rotating meshes
You're reorienting the UV's in world space, but the material is reading it as tangent space. Simply input your normal map texture2d into a Vector Transform node set to Source:World and Destination:Tangent. I just tested this with the default UDK template map cube meshes and this fixes it. Also a side note, I suggest… -
Wrap mode problem in ZBrush 4r5.
I'm having a problem in ZBrush 4r5. I've exported a flat plane out of 3ds max 2013 using GOZ. The plane imports fine, I can draw on it with a single brush no problem. However, when I use wrap mode, it looks like the brush is sampling like crazy. I turn on wrap mode: Now it goes crazy when I try to paint: Any ideas on why… -
Re: [3ds max] mapping shortcuts to actions that aren't exposed by the MAXScript listener or CUI?
Seems there are two actions in the CUI dialog for this , but both toggle the button on the modifier rollout only, not the one in the actual Edit UV dialog ( im pretty sure this is a bug ). Those two actions are "Geom. Element Select mode" and "TV element mode". I think the second one should really toggle the button in the… -

Maya issue with Naming
I have a Maya scripting problem for those willing to look into it for me! I have 3 group nodes in my scene with relatively similarly named objects. When I call the list I created, it gives me names like "group|name" for the majority of all of the objects in the group node. I have one or two objects that don't use the…
