[Max 2010] Making Splines make your life easier
I have made a ladder. The two main rails are 4 sided, editable splines. I am going to model the foothold. I want to know the fastest, most efficient, way to (once I have the geometry for the foothold) have multiple instances of it arrayed along the initial rail shape, evenly spaced. I work with Array, a lot. I love how you… -
Re: Looking to update the Head Model Resource..
[ QUOTE ] Progress! Got it to display a list of the folder in hand (the images) and display the last image on that list (it uses the variable that gets used throughout and puts that in a variable to use in the image tag.. maybe use an array, hmm.. [/ QUOTE ] Tehehe. I'm starting on the PHP version. Right now I'm at this… -
Re: Why my model cannot load UDIM tiles ?
Ok I have found the ISSUE!!! I had made an array of UDIM tiles that stretched from Tile 1 to tile 12 in horizontal, but Substance, apparently takes only from Tile 1 to Tile 10 , also it numerates in a -1 system so Tile 5 in 3dsmax for example is Tile 4 in Substance. Plus if I want to go beyond Tile 10 I need to put the… -
Re: Jeremiah Bigley - Maxscript Adventures
This will cause an error if you only have one object selected and posibly if you have nothing selected when you run the script. With only one object selected $ returns a single object. But with multiple objects selected it returns an array. In these cases its better to use 'selection' This always returns an array, even… -
Re: I am totally stumped with chains.
Hey @Rise! Welcome to the world of 3D Modelling. I'm glad you like the design, though I'd appreciate it if you linked to the thread or the artstation where I posted it. :) Fearian is correct, I modelled two chain links (separate objects) and then gave both objects an array modifier. I also used a simple deform modifier to… -
Re: no games use coloured specular
Hmmkay i don't know what you guys think of this but here goes. Regarding gloss ... Don't you think it's enough to have it fixed at a 'good enough' value/tightness for the whole game? And, when really needed, just as an editable value in the shaders. I understand that in order to describe a wide array of materials one wants… -
Re: [Technical Talk] - Max Plugins
well its not that fast: in maxscript you have to build up an array of the shells yourself because maxscript does not provide something like that. It means that you have to loop at least through all faces and another loop inside it. If you have a mesh with a few million faces it might awful slow things down. I wrote a… -
Re: [3DSMAX] [SOLVED] Do Not Load any Bitmaps when Opening a Max File over Network
Thank you for the info! However, I have tried everything from the post but nothing helped. Bitmaps are still loading on max scene startup. We are using Max 2015 SP4. But one thing at least changed, the File Property dialog no longer contains list of used External Resources - bitmaps. Unfortunately, this is not helpful. I… -
Re: MAXSCRIPT - convert each selected group to one object
Not a lot of error checking here, but it seems to work. --SCRIPT THAT COMBINES BY GROUP ( fn combineSelection newName = ( local Objs,firstObj --GET THE SELECTION AS ARRAY Objs = getcurrentSelection() --DELETE THE REFERENCE TO THE FIRST ITEM OF THE SELECTED ARRAY firstObj = convertToPoly(Objs[1]) firstObj.name = newName… -
Re: The basics of creating pseudo volume textures in Substance Designer - Tutorial
Thanks for the tip with 3dsmax <3 I did a quick test with simple boolean , and its working great! https://youtu.be/RvoU3P2ZG18 Animating it and rendering into an image sequence should be straight forward and easy. A trick can be done when rendering it so its automatically composed into an atlas. You could have copies with…
