I'm on Maya 2022.1, and the MtoA Arnold Integration. I was working in the hypershade window and toggling between Arnold and the other rendering engines, and I got an error: // Warning: [gpu] device 1 is out of range // I did a google search to figure out what it means but there are no results with that specific error. I…
Tactic Studios is looking for a talented technical animator to join our team and create functional and easy to use character rigs for an unannounced project. It is a multiplayer, third-person game with a contemporary setting. A successful candidate will be a skilled and motivated individual with strong technical skills,…
The way the Soft Selection rollout in the command panel breaks the layout was bothering me, so I wrote my first MaxScript. The part where it determines the falloff based on the size of the object was blatantly ripped from a script written by someone else, who I'd credit if I could remember who it was or find the script.…
Heh, nice picture Canadian Ink. Marlon Brando is an interesting actor - you should read about his antics, especially during the production of Apocalypse Now. Yes. I also have a reel. My portfolio is visible here - http://arkavision.com, a lot of unfinished work isn't in the side gallery but in the 3DArt sub section of the…
Marmoset Toolbag 2 setup Go to - Capture - Settings (Ctrl+P) and check file format is PNG and checkbox Transparency is on. Frame rate 25 (or whatever you like), I prefer to set Duration on 2 or 3. Be sure to set Clockwise settings, it establishes the dependence of the animation frame rate and duration. If you have set…
That really depends on what the range of motion is that you'll need. Typically designers and character artists try to work around things like tubes from the torso to the arms or legs because the range of motion is so high and its so hard to get them to behave like tubes and not blow your entire rigging budget on the tubes.…
Doh! Forgot to add the story Pitch & Script for Last Cow in Space: (which also serves as marketing material for the educational market... with luck!) PITCH: It's Goldilocks in Space THEME : To find or make a safe home. Main Metaphor: Environmental sub-themes explain why she's "Greenie Locks" instead. And using a basic…
ok... lets try another way... I am playing to create a directX exporter under Maya and I think I got new information. About directX in the export file, vertex count seems to change depending of the Uvs. For exemple to build a geometry WITHOUT uvs, you will only need to list vertex and then to list the triangle with the…
Ok Thanks to the help of a friend, I have a cgfx which is working in FXcomposer. In maya, the result is not satisfactory yet ( and by extension, in FXcomposer too ) because of one parameter which is arbitrary for the moment. Feel free to comment and help. /**** UNTWEAKABLES: Hidden & Automatically-Tracked Parameters…
It's likely you've already heard the rumours about Crytek intending to release the CryEngine 3 SDK for public use. If you haven't, get excited - the engine is an artists dream. At this stage, people will be able to use the engine for their own non-commercial projects which still puts it in a different box to the obvious…
