Re: what if ... viewport navigation was taken care of for you ? maxscript idea
It's what I'm currently working on, but it seems to be a little tricky, because: Perspective and Orthographic viewports work in a different way, thus a specific logic is needed; Current active viewport is a sort of hidden camera, but its settings are quite messed up, because you can transform it by current selection center… -
Re: make stuff stick to stuff
Yeah by eye is a good start. But to further proliferate on what Paul has said, take the example of a watch and its strap around a hand. Model the watch as is, but then of course you don't really know exactly how the strap should go. So make an instanced copy, and rotate that version into place. You can then work on a… -
Re: Xnormal Baking problem
Is the cage covering completely the highpoly mesh? Did you enable the "Use cage" option? Render a "wireframe and ray fails map" to see if there are ray misses. Have you performed a Maya's Freeze transformations / 3dsmax's ResetXForm before exporting? What kind of mesh format are you using? What program did you use to model… -
Re: how to create a mirrored clone in XSI?
sometimes i like to create a "new model" of my selected object. then I do an instantiate single, and scale it by -1 along the appropriate axis. then transform away. I really don't know the disadvantages to this yet, if there are any. once I'm finish, I move the mesh back to the scene root, and delete the model. Then I do… -
Re: Byron's Polytools?
As far as i know its not working with 7.01 well actually it is but with a work around, and than it will not be fully working Sir Sebastian didn't update his site for a longtime And most of his tools are integrated in maya anyway (no not the beloved soft transformation tool, man i love that thing) So to get something close… -
Re: Sketchbook: Add3r
Sat down and I thought I would experiment with normal, AO, and displacement baking within Maya through Transfer Mapping. Was interesting to say the least. Here is a quick writeup for future reference for myself and to explain my process to see if I could get some feedback if I did something askew! Thanks for checking it… -
Re: Zbrush 4R6
Hi~~ Are you still looking for a zbrush license? I have a PC license and a MAC license linked together. So you'll get both of them. I bought them at ($795+ $397.5= $1192.5) And I'll sell them for $700(which is a nice discount even if you only need a PC license!) So sorry I can't sell them separately.. Followered is the… -
Re: Question: Pre-Assembled or Assembled In-Engine
What ever you do you usually want to re-use the meshes in-engine. So if you pre-assemble them you need to save just the transforms and then re-assemble stuff in-engine with some code. Exception would be the case where you don't need or want to re-use e.g. one wall multiple times but without some additional modifications on… -
Re: nDo2 Help.
I'm not really worried about the channels at the moment, sorry my OP is a bit confusing reading back over it. I'm more interested in the method of replicating the max bake without having to flatten the layer and loose my ability to tweak the nD02 parameters, in photoshop. For that result, i made a rectangle selection… -
Re: PS4 and Gamma Correction, SRGB
Yes, I know. The data isn't linear space, and the output isn't linear, so we have to transform it into linear space to perform operations and then to a different nonlinear space to put it on the screen properly. So why don't screens take in linear space data and cameras/scanners output linear space data? Surely they would…
