@Joopson yeah man I can totally see where you're coming from. My idea was that the glass itself is mystical and glowing, acting as a portal for light coming from somewhere else.
AlexandrL Thanks ,its exactly what I asked about because I often can't make it work at all or even export from Designer. Only something very basic . Any custom node, pixel or value processor and its almost zero chance . For your case it just follows basic logic : zero in no, one is yes. The rest is UI decoration.
and here is my piece of code. assign it to a hotkey and you're fine. with pageUp/pageDown you can toggle the level, when your mesh is in smooth preview mode. // toggle smooth mesh preview for selection // get selected mesh nodes string $sel[] = `ls -sl -dag -lf`; // set attributes for ($s in $sel) { int $v = `getAttr…
Definitely, I come across this every single day. I can code and script/automate my way through life, but most workflow things over here are engine fixes that I can not fix myself. And when I try to talk some sense into the coder/management here, there's always a huge explanation why I wouldn't want said feature and why…
Much appreciated! I don't plan to stop supporting the plugin any time soon and I plan to give release the source code if it would ever come to that point. I'm happy to hear you found good use for the plugin :) Have a good New Year!
I'm a little confused about what you're asking here, maybe it's a difference in how you and i work. Personally I only use F8 when I want to work on multiple objects in component mode. To move between modes, I use the standard right click marking menu in a quick snap motion. For example, I'm in vertex mode on object A, and…
Hey guys! I'm currently working on an environment that is set under the ground in a catacomb/cellar. I want to make roots come down from the cieling and cling to the walls and pillars in the room. I'm looking for a way to avoid modelling every single root in Maya and placing them on the exact correct spot in Unreal…
Hey :) Just some things i've noticed which make the usage of the forum not as enjoyable as it could be: 1. Why is the Edit-Button hidden as ONLY entry in a sub-menu? That's not intuitive nor helpful. Why not just put "Edit" instead of the Gear-Icon? 2. GIF-Links are NOT previewed when looking at a post BUT - and this is…
Does anyone knows a simple way of doing repating chains of nodes with a parameter how many times I want to repeat. I am trying to do a slope blur with more than 32 shifting and each shift takiing each own vector/direction and it's a hell of a tedious job. In "Filter forge" for example there is a "loop" node you can connect…
Nuts, I was worried there was only a workaround for it. The whole point of using the aiImage node is that the maya image node is actually two nodes and I was hoping to conserve a little file space + make everything a little neater. Maybe in arnold 7.
