3Ds max, how to random assign mat to objects from mat library...? (terrible max)
Hi 3ds max 2012. Im using Neil Blevins script "Material mover" to distribute materials (around 60-190(?)) randomly to hundreds of objects in 3ds max. I have been using it for years but only using the material editor (max 24 materials) to objects. But currently i have encountered quite a big problem, and im not sure who is… -
Re: 3dsMax 2021 unofficial what's new + list from 3dsMax 2017
well something new that has been bugging me since the shortcut menu change, is the hotkey editor and scripts not showing up in the category column. :/ I have a script that I am sure alot are familiar with. Pivot Tools that allow you to create a shortcut for toggling pivot centers for transform coordinates. Does anyone… -
Re: Skew you buddy! Making sense of skewed normal map details.
@EQ, I was about to mention Face Weight Normals, glad MoP already brought it up. If you ran the script below on #3 of your first post I think most of the skewing would be relieved. Of course, all the cavats you mentioned still apply. However, Maya defaults to Face Weighted Normals since 2012. Anyway here is my script for… -
Re: Reusing exisiting Rigs?
You should be able to re-use it. You may need to disconnect a few controllers to fix the scale/positioning of the joints but it shouldn't be too much work, certainly not as much as building a rig from scratch. A lot of people I know in Maya do "scripted rigging" where they build a rig and write a script to basically… -
Re: Udk or cryengine
If you're going to be making your own game (not just a level or scene for your portfolio) then your programming background might make a difference in which engine you can get up and running with the fastest. I haven't used CryEngine at all, other than installing it and poking around a bit. Scripting in CryEngine is done… -
Re: [UE4] Frazão Archviz: New videos, screens and download available
Godsend tools i used or using on this project where i HIGHLY recommend: Bulk file renamer Seriously, download this if you don't have yet. Help A LOT on file naming and renaming convention when we have to deal with a bunch of files, sometimes rename/add words/remove words once group at all is something we must have handly.… -
JavaScript blog help? (animation)
I'd like to start on a portfolio that would allow visitors to 'mouseover' an image, allowing them to watch a short .gif animation cycle. (Is there a way to hide the mouse cursor while it's hovering over the image?) Also, can anyone suggest a free blog hosts that support javascript? (i was going to use wordpress, but as far… -
maya python - read from text file, iterate through lines per keyframe and display to screen
Here's a script that will read through a text file, use line breaks as a delimiter, and show each line associated with timeline frame, starting from 0. Useful for synching animations with dialog or notes, which is really hard to do if your text is in a separate app. It's crazy that maya doesn't seem to have any native way… -
Re: Baking Zbrush polypaint through 3ds max?
There is a script to actually import the ZBrush Sculpt with Polypaint into 3DSMax (ZBRush made its own modifs to the .obj format and saves the vertex color info in it). Use this script (I just tried, it works fine with Max2017) : http://www.scriptspot.com/3ds-max/scripts/polypaint Just for info, using 3DCoat you can import… -
Re: V-Tools for Maya?
I'm surprised you even know what I meant - props to you for actually reading my post :) ! I confused vTools with something for Max, but you figured it out anyway. Yes, you are right. Frotools seem to do the job, and I saw it before, but it also does a lot of things I don't really need. I have a different workflow and only…
