No, Core is available at the moment to those you have bought into the 'hardcore' membership and Newtek are taking there input and suggestions. Basically there re-writing lightwave with a node-based architecture, python scripting, QT interface and its based on Collada as its default file format. The UI at the top is done by… -
Re: Technical Artist: What are good work samples to send to a recruiter?
Well unless I'd missed it, your OP doesn't mention actual in-game deployment of your work so do you have any examples where your own original scripts/shaders/tools...etc were implemented in a fully fleshed out game? In my opinion is what (..I'm not a tech artist BTW) "additional work samples" means. -
Re: low poly in cinema 4d
nearly all models of our demo games were made in Cinema4D, friend uses it extensively, also wrote the exporter. Modelling work seems okay (no animation stuff so, as that is a bit weak). And he had to code his own UV tools and some other "lowpoly" oriented scripts, some of which can be found at our website under "ArtTools". -
Re: Maxscript model exporter troubles
Could you use the ePoly script function which gets geometry verts based on a uv vert ID? That way you can just go through the entire set of UVW verts, get the related geometric vert for each one, and discard it if it already exists. Can't remember the exact command, I think it's in polyOp, or might even be an unwrapUVW… -

Re: Keep your faces planar?
nah its just that if you do strongly twisted quads, on export they can very easily be triangulated in the other way that what you had in mind. If I leave quads in, I personally always go over the most important areas of my models, face by face, and run a make planer script each time. It makes for very elegant meshes. -
Re: Pulling rectangular detail from the side of a cylinder?
Eric has really good advice, that is pretty much the standard way of dealing with that kind of extrude. Oglu has an interesting idea with floating geo, that can work too. If you're looking to cover up the seam with welds, you might want to check out this script https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mt1Bq-J27O4 Download link:… -
Re: Alpha channel on "viewport" vs. "Render view"
[ QUOTE ] Rules I've learned to check... [*]Same bitmap has to be in Diffuse and Opacity. [*]Opacity bitmap has to set Mono Channel Output = Alpha.

Re: Setting hotkeys with 3Ds Max
Could someone help me a bit with this? Scripting was never one of my strong points. Basically I just want to be able to click a button on my mouse to rotate the view around in 3Ds Max like a normal mouse would allow me to. I can probably figure the rest out on my own after I see an example of this using AutoHotKey. -
Re: 3dsmax bones
The paint weights with Blend mod eis a life saver. I find mirror weights doesn't always work, simply because we are working at such a small scale in max. I wrote a mirror script for sing weights though, so I can fixe any weights that don't mirrored. Its jsut a copy and paste thing that also mirrors the bone name.
