Re: Maya Rendering - Invisible occluding object
Well, that would be exactly what I'm looking for... ...buuuuuuuut it doesn't work with the vector renderer. Just turns it black and renders normally. :( Google turns up only one previous discussion of this in which they seem to have just gave up. Thanks so far, though, at least I had something to search for. Would it… -
Re: Does Maya have an equivalent to Softimage Prop Model Tool?
I think P is looking for soft select? http://softimage.wiki.softimage.com/xsidocs/sculpting_UsingProportionalModeling.htm If you're running 2008 extended (I think it was rolled into 2009), you can toggle it on/off by pressing B. You can hold down B and drag left or right to increase or decrease the falloff. There might be… -
Re: Affinity Photo - Someone using it?

Re: 'curing colors' uni game project

Re: Tangent Space and Normal Maps
Thanks for posting I'm gonna move this to the 2d/3d discussion forum, it fits better there. I think you can create normal maps directly in Mudbox, never done it myself though - try reading the Help. There are tutorials and scripts for rendering normal maps in Maya, try using the Search feature on these forums to dig… -

Re: Ponyo!
It's definitely not my favorite Miyazaki movie, but it's still very good, doesn't really feel any more "kiddy" than some of his others. I thought the script was a bit strange, and maybe a tad slow-ish towards the middle. There's a sea storm scene that is just absolutely amazing, some of the wackiest animation I've seen in… -

Re: UE3 and other UE3 made titles.
Yeah, again its not a matter of simply opening up a common file dude. Its a completely different engine in some ways, they have the full source so they've each added their own tools, their own optimizations etc. Its not that they just dont what you to open other games levels in their editor(which they dont) its also that…
