Creating window with mel script
anyone know how to write a mel script in maya to create a window that allows me to quick change the currentUnit settings? so far im stuck here : string $window = `window`; columnLayout; string $node = `currentUnit`; attrEnumOptionMenu -label "Unit" -attribute ($node + " -linear"); showWindow $window; which is obviously… -
Lerp 3 textures
Hey all. What I'm trying to get done is basically a Lerp between three textures. For the sake of discussion, assume we're talking about unreal, as our engine's material creator has similar nodes. My problem is that Lerp usually supports just 2 nodes. The material gets fed a variable that goes between 0..1 range. I need 0… -
[Maya plug-in] 3Gen – 3D Worlds Generator
Hello guys. I’ve been developing this Application/s for more than 3 years now so I’ve decided to try to promote it on Kickstarter. Hope You find it interesting. Any feedback would be appreciated. Basically it is node-based images, textures and 3D objects generator and editor. It contains more than 140 nodes Youtube… -
Solved: Quixel Suite to UE4 issue
I've plugged in the textures created from Quixel Suite to the respective material nodes in UE4 but for some reason the texture comes out super shiny. I've read posts about others having the same issue and I've deselected sRGB for my spec/gloss maps and changed the nodes to Linear Colour however the texture doesn't change… -
Exporting out of Max. My geometry is under the GeomEntity tab, not Brush?
Does anybody know why my geometry would be exporting out of Max as a Geomentity and not a Brush? I understand that Geomentities are used as objects that are affected by explosions and physics, also they can be attached to flow graph operations... which I think is great and all, but I'm confused as to how to flag geo for… -
Creating a rim light and saturation shader in Maya trouble
Hey, I'm trying to tweak a style study I'm doing on Super Mario Galaxy As you can see my Rim lighting shader is just tending to white and I have no idea what nodes to use to make it apply to the saturation as well. In the image I'm using a SamplerInfo.facingRatio > Ramp.VCoord and the ramp into the lambert's incandencanse.… -
SD Material Shading Error
I'm picking up these triangles on this SD material I created and the straight lines look great yet these pop up in the UE4 editor. I went back to the file and found the lines are jagged. I'm trying to fix it with a Blur node and Levels to even it up but it isn't going very well. This mask is a zoomed in image of a 4x4 tile… -
[Help]Linear Interpolation of Three Values
I'm working on a shader that would use the Alpha to distinguish which RGB channel of a texture to display. My thoughts on how this would work are; A:1.0 = R, A:0.5 = G, A:0.0 = B, Is it possible to build this using Linear Interpolation nodes? If not what would be the correct approach? I'm working with the Strumpy Shader… -
Re: UE4 - Project: Star Bounty
Just want to say this project is really cool, I am loving the environmental models, Your use of nodes is great, I am just getting into nodes, I am one of those last persons to the show, like I didn't start watching Friends until the series was in it's last year. Anyway, thanks for the previews, you have given me some ideas… -
Re: 186 grey instead of 128 grey got any tips for authoring textures this way?
Hey, Sorry for bringing this thread back, but I've been having trouble with this recently. I'm trying to author colour overlay maps that get overlaid on top of a base colour via a Overlay Node in UE4 material editor. The trouble I'm having is that UE4 Overlay node does in fact seem to use 186 grey as the midpoint. Anyone…
