Alright the script and screens are here. http://www.robg3d.com/downloads/putIn_Scripts-Startup_Folder.zip As the name says, put in 3dsmax/scripts/startup, shouldn't matter what version. It will delete your splash.bmp, get all the bmp's in the scripts/startup/splashscreens folder, and copy a random one to 3dsmax/splash.bmp.…
I'm working on a new iOS project for iPhone (it's simply a racing game around a few tracks). I need to implement a gas pedal on the right, that when held down accelerates my vehicle. I need a brake pedal on the left that when held down causes a drifting style brake (adjustable slide in the inspector would be awesome). I…
Hi 3ds max 2012. Im using Neil Blevins script "Material mover" to distribute materials (around 60-190(?)) randomly to hundreds of objects in 3ds max. I have been using it for years but only using the material editor (max 24 materials) to objects. But currently i have encountered quite a big problem, and im not sure who is…
well something new that has been bugging me since the shortcut menu change, is the hotkey editor and scripts not showing up in the category column. :/ I have a script that I am sure alot are familiar with. Pivot Tools that allow you to create a shortcut for toggling pivot centers for transform coordinates. Does anyone…
@EQ, I was about to mention Face Weight Normals, glad MoP already brought it up. If you ran the script below on #3 of your first post I think most of the skewing would be relieved. Of course, all the cavats you mentioned still apply. However, Maya defaults to Face Weighted Normals since 2012. Anyway here is my script for…
You should be able to re-use it. You may need to disconnect a few controllers to fix the scale/positioning of the joints but it shouldn't be too much work, certainly not as much as building a rig from scratch. A lot of people I know in Maya do "scripted rigging" where they build a rig and write a script to basically…
If you're going to be making your own game (not just a level or scene for your portfolio) then your programming background might make a difference in which engine you can get up and running with the fastest. I haven't used CryEngine at all, other than installing it and poking around a bit. Scripting in CryEngine is done…
Godsend tools i used or using on this project where i HIGHLY recommend: Bulk file renamer Seriously, download this if you don't have yet. Help A LOT on file naming and renaming convention when we have to deal with a bunch of files, sometimes rename/add words/remove words once group at all is something we must have handly.…
I'd like to start on a portfolio that would allow visitors to 'mouseover' an image, allowing them to watch a short .gif animation cycle. (Is there a way to hide the mouse cursor while it's hovering over the image?) Also, can anyone suggest a free blog hosts that support javascript? (i was going to use wordpress, but as far…
Here's a script that will read through a text file, use line breaks as a delimiter, and show each line associated with timeline frame, starting from 0. Useful for synching animations with dialog or notes, which is really hard to do if your text is in a separate app. It's crazy that maya doesn't seem to have any native way…
