Re: Advanced damage/dynamics systems
I should point out that you're talking about different functionality, destructibility and scripting. On Red Faction we had full scripting support to set up the scenario you describe, but found that it was much more fun to give the player an excuse to level a structure entirely. It's really just a philosophical distinction… -
Re: Cleaning and consolidating multi/sub materials in 3dsmax
yeah, I found a blur script that kind of does this ;-) CollapseSubObjectMaterial Takes an object that has a multi/subobject material, and collapses the material to use only the subobject materials that are assigned to face IDs on the object. Modifies the object as well, consolidation material IDs and collapsing it to an… -
Re: Wire parametering a rolling ball in 3ds Max? (How to make a rolling ball in 3ds Max)
Well because I've not been able to roll it like the way I want I haven't textured it, but it is unwrapped and ready for some texture. I wanna put some lines that shows the rolling IF I'm able to do it. Thanks for the links. I've checked the reddit one before but not the egg roll script. will check that. Thank you. Thanks,… -
Re: adjusting object transforms
I wrote a quick script for Maya that simplifies the Snap Align 3 Points to 3 Points tool. Just select 3 verts that are across the same plane and run the script. Should snap your object to the origin with an accurate rotation (you may have to center the object still). { $sourceVerts = `ls -fl -sl`; polyPlane -ch on -o on -w… -
Re: getting Normals to bake and give smooth edges
Yes, you can use the 'hit only matching matID' feature in Max. I don't use Max to bake at all myself anymore. That test I did above in Max was the first in a long time. :smile: But if you are intent on sticking with Max I would STRONGLY advise having a look at the script 'Get Baked' It is a vast improvement on Max's… -
Re: Low Poly and Handpainted Textures - Crit Please!
I've been using Unity lately and I gotta say it can't get much easier to show your props off. All you do is drop your fbx in a folder, drop your psd in same folder, drag into scene, place lights, hit Play. Literally 30 seconds and you're in game. (I imagine UDK has special format?) One issue, Unity Indie (free) doesn't… -
Re: Zbrush - Can I store buttons preference defaults inside zbrush?
As the others mentioned, many settings can be stored via the <Preferences:Store Config>, or <Document:Save as Startup Doc> (for canvas related settings. There is also the "ZStartup Master" plugin, that is part of the ZBrush 2018 installation, which can be found in the Zplugin palette. Now the Grp button is an interessting… -
Re: Exporting Settings
I dont know for now where its stored but I assume somewhere in the user Directory, usually to folders above this maxscript result:url =(pathConfig.GetDir #userMacros);shellLaunch "explorer.exe" url; but if you have to change / refresh frequently your seat or computer it could be an idea to create a custom maxscript floater… -
Re: WIP: Writer's Block
Thanks for the replies! I spent a while trying to find a more suitable image for outside, I think the new one is much better. The other major change in this update is that all of the books/folders are now textured...I wrote a script to assign random colors within a given range, available here. The script also will sample… -
Re: File types and Normal Maps
Yeah in max offsetting in W is the best, then you can still edit the layout easily, but that doesn't work in every app. Really any app with numeric input for UVs offseting/unoffsetting should be a very very quick task. As you said, scripts make it even easier. So, there are a few things you need to think about yeah, but…
