Maya: how to restore the material attributes UI?
I'm not sure what I did but the attribute editor for materials was changed somehow and every attribute available for materials is being displayed under the material type instead of separating them out into categories such as "common material attributes". I've provided a screenshot. I deleted the preferences folder, I went… -
Cached animations in Maya
Hey guys, We're trying to instance a couple hundred of our male figures walking in a scene in Maya. However, it's really bogging it down. We've cached the animation and Maya seems to be drawing from the same data file for all of them, but when I look in the cache folder in Windows Explorer, there is a cache file for every… -
SOLVED: DDO Reimporter generates errors if it can't find original maps
Somewhat minor issue - if you migrate a DDO project from one location to another and attempt to use the Reimporter utility, if it can't find the initial images in their original locations, it will display several errors and then fail. It would be useful for collaborative work if this was handled more gracefully and it… -
Re: Why am I seeing so many Technical Artist jobs that want python / animation pipeline scripting?

Want to get dirt in the cracks? Use your AO as a mask and use levels or curves to adjust it's range. Just one example. It's… -
Re: 3ds Max (2014) Pixelated Shadows in Viewport?

Re: RAGE art dump - Peter Boehme
Fantastic sculpts Peter, really solid cloth work especially. Love the levels of surface noise you've got going on under the actual shapes and details, gives them a great realistic feel without making them busy. Saved to inspirado folder. Can you give us any kind of rough time estimate for how long you had to work on any of… -
Re: Solved: DDO: ID isn't properly in place
@Synaesthesia I got some good news, and some bad news.. Good news is: The problem wasn't Quixel. Bad news is: I'm a total *sshat, because of a bad folder structure I lost track where I placed the right Color ID map. So I just had the wrong one in place all along. Sorry for bothering you with these stupid questions. -
