Re: 3ds max constraints
Sure...here you go...I hope you can decipher my scribblez... Bucket is linked to the Control Object (a simple renderable Spline), The Control Object is linked to the Arm. Then I created a 3-Bone Chain (2+End) from the Joint you called '2' in your screen across the Piston Joint to the Second Joint at the Bucket (the… -
Re: Recommended 3D Software
Character studio is a tool that let you deform objects like a human does for example. Rigging is the process of attaching a model to a set of objects that act like bones, to deform the object. Character studio is Max way of doing what in XSI can be done with the biped guides and the animation mixer. When you get used to… -
Re: Specular color help
in real life there's no specular. Smooth objects reflect more light in the same direction than rough objects. a layer of water on top of a rough object tends to make the surface more smooth and so it reflects light more readily when its wet. Specular is a quick way of simulating that reflection in computer world. So… -
Re: [Maxscript] random UV position of texture
That's not maxscript syntax. You should check some samples scripts . Should be : for i=1 to 6 do ( ) But instead of a fixed iterations number, you could parse your selected objects like so : --array of selected objects -
Re: SOLVED: 3do breaking connections
SOLVED IT! So, if you make any changes to your original obj export, for the love of god, make sure you keep your object level naming consistent. I made changes toa duplicate object and exported it and apparently that is what broke the connections. I renamed the object to match the original export and when I re-imported it,… -
Re: Stacked UV Map?
I'm not sure if there is a problem, that's what usually happens when you create a new project - there's only one layer. Do you have different objects, each with it's own unwrap that fits the 0,1 square? Or all objects share the same 0,1 space? It looks like you have different objects, but if you were to select all of them… -
Re: List your 3D Studio Max Scripts!
- I have Regularize and quite some of the other poly functions from the modelling ribbon in my right click menu, hate the ribbons. - Same with select instances and select similar - Super smart create on space, this one speeds up workflow the most for me. Also a few other ones (not necessarily for games, more general… -
Re: 3ds max unlink -> save animation.
Just linking an object doesn't animate it. It's like riding the bus, it will ride along for as long as you have it linked, until you unlink it then the object gets off the bus wherever you dumped it. In addition to what .Wiki mentioned you could also use an animated/align script to snap the weapon to the hand and set a… -
Re: Medieval Building
Well, larger objects do not produce less draw calls. LESS objects do. So the more you combine objects together that use the same shader, the less draw calls you will get. Objects do tend to get larger the more you combine them, so I guess that's true in a way. :) 1024x2048 is a good place to start from. There's no ideal… -
Re: (Mel) Help with syntax of a outliner reorganize script
WIP code idea for sorting objects in place global proc reorderinPlace(){ string $unsortList[]=`ls -sl`; string $sortList[]= `sort($unsortList)`; if (`gmatch $unsortlist "*[0-9]"`) //To check if object has number suffix { warning "please rename object with number suffix"; break; //exit procedure if there is no number suffix…
