Hi, im pretty new to maxscript. my main scripting experience from before has been in c# so there are many things that are a bit puzzling to me. right now im scratching my head because of this one: take this code for example: splineObj = selection[1] print (numsplines splineObj) as string Outputs: "3" But this: splineObj =…
I'm an immersive art artist who uses Blender. I've never applied for a job in the game industry, so I'm still an outsider to the sector. However, I use almost all of the tools that are common in game development workflows. I think Blender has a manageable learning curve. It offers many advantages. First of all, it has an…
Somehow it worked once only. No matter what I do it's no longer working :( Some of the conditions I'm respecting: 1. Ensure each sub-material has an Image Texture node. 2. Ensure both Image Texture nodes point to the same image file. Assuming you want all colours into one file. 3. Ensure both Image Texture nodes remain…
The CUDA memory required needs to be split into two components: 1. Node pool. It's used for the spatial acceleration structure. Usually 16/32Mb should be enough for a 4M poly mesh. 2. Triangles. The mesh itself. Each triangle occupies 48 bytes. A 4M poly mesh will occupy around 192Mb. If you set 450Mb for the nodes(that's…
Small update / extra question: Thanks again for the suggestions. I looked at a few portal VFX tutorials, but most of them are more focused on Niagara particles or gameplay portals. What I’m still struggling with is mainly the material/shader structure itself. Right now, my biggest issue is that the portal still feels too…
Hey, I experience awful blender performance when switch to edit mode even with low to mid poly models (50k etc.). Is there a magic button in the settings that i missed to enable? I got rtx 4080 with i9 14900 and whatever ssd and ram that is best.
Yay, I am glad you like it! It was my GSoC :p We came up with the idea after I was toying with the color smudge brush to make direction maps, and then on IRC someone said like 'oh, but if this could be attached to tilt...' and so the idea was born. I am really excited to see what kind of things people are going to do with…
DroneCam is a free Blender addon that lets you control the camera like you would a real-life drone using an Xbox 360 gamepad as input. Damn bro, you still animate the camera manually for aerial shots in Blender? #blender3d #b3d #addon Compatible exclusively with Windows, DroneCam enables you to add a drone to a scene,…
Or you can do it with nodes. Note that the first 2 lines are unpacking the normal maps from 0-1 space to their proper range for this procedure, so you'll want to translate that for use with your existing assets. So your base normal will need its blue channel doubled. so multiply it with a vector 3 set to (1,1,2) The detail…
You can either use expressions or connect attribute nodes directly. Maya is all node based, so just because something is a geometry or NURBS node doesn't mean it can't be fed into a shader node. If you select a polygon or NURBS object in your main window and open the Hypershade window, and select Graph > Input and Output…
