Box Modeling - A Method?
Hello there Polycount, Novice to-be Animation student here with a quick question. So far, I have been using Wings 3-D to practice modeling and It's been a great program; I have to admit. Primitive compared to the Autodesk stuff etc, but great for getting my feet wet. I've made a couple things here and there, whether it be… -
obj points not importing to Max
What I'm trying to do is get 3DS Max to import an obj file that contains just points. Whenever I select the file I get "Nothing to import". I opened the file in notepad and it looks fine to me for what I have been able to figure out about obj structure. This is part of the obj, the rest of it is the same structure for… -
Comparing Blender to 3DS Max and other packages
Hi, first I'd like to apologize if this has been covered already - because I have a suspicion it could be a popular question, but I couldn't find any relevant threads that answer it in more detail. I actually did find one or two threads but they were all from before Blender's 2.5 release so I'm not sure how relevant they… -
Max Companion Viewcube
So recently i discovered people could easily customize the viewcube textures in Maya and XSI (yeah, i'm 2 years late) http://area.autodesk.com/blogs/graham/hello_world-2 http://www.si-community.com/community/viewtopic.php?f=36&t=986 inspiration : http://www.cubeecraft.com/ well there are a lot of threads about it, where… -
Re: Why is the game industry model broken?
the thing that pisses me off about digital distribution is this: i have to pay the exact same amount to buy a digital version of a game, as i would have to pay to go and get the game from a store. the difference being - at the store i get a physical, tangible product. if the whole point of digital distribution is to cut… -
Re: Star Wars: Ep VII The Force Awakens - *spoilers*
I'd say the fact that the movie hits pretty much the same story beats as a new hope is a very deliberate attempt to banish the prequels from people's minds as well as remind people and get others up to speed with a movie that came out a long, long time ago. I think the probably overdid it, really, but I can understand why… -
Re: Do I really have to use Maya for animation?
Besides looking at the base tools and studio popularity, it's also helpful to research the ecosystem around the software. What are schools using? AM, iAnimate, and AnimSchool all provide rigs in Maya (though the latter may also provide XSI equivalents?). Who's writing helpful scripts/plugins and for what software? On the… -
Re: Is it possible to learn Max in a month?
If you have previous experience with another package, couple of weeks watching Max modelling videos by intermediate users could work. I was in a similar situation but the reverse, from Max to Maya and I was also transitioning (in a rush!) from an animator to hard surface modeler. You don't have to master every corner of… -
Re: Animation Issue
ok, try this --> sometimes the FBX exporter just effs up for no reason (fun, right?). select both your smooth bound mesh and bone, then go to file --> export selection. select FBX from the drop down menu and look to the right (options). navigate to file type specific options --> presets --> current preset. change this from… -
Re: 3dsMax2012 keybinds to 3dsMax2014
I have a suspicion you might be able to load them in by just renaming the file, but if that doesn't work, use this script I just wrote. it outputs to the listener and you'll need to copy-paste the text into your .kbdx file, but it's 8 a.m. and it's all I can fit in before work. Change the path at the bottom of the script…
