I recently switched to the Maya hotkey navigation in 3DS Max to have more consistency between applications. Which meant I had to change to "Maya Mode Selection" for the mouse as Alt is used to rotate the view instead of deselect. But Shift+extrude/extend from open edges no longer works with Maya mode selection (Shift+drag…
UPDATE: I have an update! SUBHEAD: Unexpected Pitfalls So I got sick of microslop's shit for the very last time in November of last year. I didn't post on microslop's forums that I was switching to linux, and then keep using microslop's products. I just did a buncha research about which distro would be best for me and…
I'm using some modular rectangular pieces, and many are using what should be the same material. It seems that because the pieces are rectangular, instancing the material is not an option because the scalerParamater node affects both the U and the V scale? Is there a way to instance a material and use a node that allows me…
Hey all, I use these scripts to toggle subobject modes in Max. If no EditableP/EditP is selected atm, it goes there, unless some mods are selected (in this example, Symmetry).

Basically it should work just like 'hide unselected' but with the ability to toggle.

Here is an example of using the "Custom Code" node provided in ShaderFX to create a snow-layer effect. We measure the angle between the vertex normal and the world UP (or "snow direction" if you wish) and blend in the white color on top of the rock texture. We have a second custom code node that modifies the vertex…
Hi! Does anyone know why render mode in substance painter gives these artifacts while painting mode looks good. What is wrong? P.S. These artifacts also seen in Marmoset toolbag.
Hello all, Very newbie question, but I've double clicked on a Material Instance, and it's taken me to a big material sphere with some parameters to the right. How do I get to the node editor for this material? Can you only edit nodes for a Material and not a Material Instance? It's a material from Megascans that I exported…
At what versions of Photoshop is the nDO Painter Mode available? It's a mode I am drooling over and I have a feeling I'll have to upgrade my version of Photoshop to warrant the feature. I'm currently using v11.02 and it's gotten me this far. CS4 is where I stand at the moment. I don't have access to Multi-Normals either…
