Tutorial "How to change default Marking menu in Maya"
Hi to all! Few years ago i spent almost all my free time on.. THIS. The main question is - how to avoid some very small repetitive actions in maya..Yeah. We spend a lot of time using default maya marking menu. When i played a lot with my maya - i decided to make the lesson ( but... when it was done.. i lost all the… -
Re: Searching jobs with this portfolio. Need Advice
What I noticed immediately was how high poly your assets are. It's more in line with models for animation than real-time. The candles are (while slightly higher poly than I would do) a pretty good polycount. Not many wasted triangles and a good edge flow. The inkpot, pen, and the books on the other hand are very very high… -
Re: udk sizes/proportions confusion
Well, technically, any size possible can be used. But that's not typically best practice, and will make your life harder. It's not about "even" numbers, it's about multiples/powers of 2. Maybe a practical example would make this clear: 1) Two wall modules, one with length 256 and one with length 512. Those two pieces will… -
Re: citroen c4 cactus
I'm pretty new and limited in terms of my modelling knowledge, having never stepped beyond vehicle modelling for simulators, so perhaps my feedback won't be super relevant to what you are looking to acheive, but I'll try and offer some feedback anyway. First issue I see it a lack of continuity between panels in the first… -
Re: Trying to reverse engineer this texturing process
It is possible but you usually only need that when you use light mapping. Its called uv channels. For light mapping, they use a second uv channel that is fully uniquely laid out, meaning that there isn't any overlapping uvs, so no lighting will bake on top of other faces. Let put your images from the post into an example.… -
Re: [Maya] Regular Expression
Oh yeah the tokenize is in my "weird method". And the "getComponentIndex" could be a solution... My workflow currently works with a "Common" library. For example it means I have a Polygon.mel file and I insert all very basic function I create. I already have several files like that... then for the "getComponentIndex" I… -
Re: Rigging: Maya IK/FK switch
Sometimes IK/FK switch is a necessary thing. For example, your character throws the stone (arms FK) and then put his hand over his lips in some emotional affect (arms IK) and then quicly walks away (arms FK). In this animation it is very convenient to use such switch. I won't like to do it all in just FK. So, in this… -
Re: Smoothing With Modo
You misunderstand me. I never said anything about smoothing by UV seams for lowpoly/baking. I said the concept of assigning hard/soft edges by a polygonal selection is dumb. Example: Cylinders where one of the side edges must be hard. Simple with edge selection; not so much with polygonal selection. Of course there's not… -
Re: ShoeBox: 2d gamedev tools
* 9-Slice is a term Macromedia (now Adobe) coined with Flash and Fireworks * Patch-9 is something I never heard before but is used in the Android world. Either way this is already a old concept. As per request, here is an example of what that red button would behave or look like in different sizes The corner pieces remain… -
Re: Shader - UV-less Anistropic shader?
@Far: No idea which Ward you mean, sorry. I tried Aniso-Ward, but it still needs UV's in my case, based upon this code here: http://content.gpwiki.org/index.php/D3DBook:%28Lighting%29_Ward Here is an example in node format what the shader might look like, and the UV edge issue that can pop up ( in UDK for example:…
