Re: Jeremiah Bigley - Maxscript Adventures
These are a bit old but they are very beginner level so I figured I would post them now. I get tired of creating certain primitives and zeroing out all the height segments and making them square... I bind these to Alt+number. Creates perfect box at origin with no segments.macroScript QuickBox category:"Bigley"( Box… -
Re: New Silo Beta - new logo too
It's not obvious at first; when I say upsidedown I mean rotated 180 degrees so the normals are facing down on the W axis, the result being that they're backwards. This is easily confirmable by turning on backface culling or with just a simple selection: like so (Edit: Or more inteligently, with a non-symmetrical model… -
3DS Max 2011 / Chuggnuts UV Unwrap tools
Hey Guys, I've just started to use Max2011, and I'm trying to get chuggnuts UV Unwrap tools working with this version. I've been trying to find something that will work. I found this site: http://fearthedevil.com/words/?p=117 Which has version 1.6 which is compatible with 2010, but I've been using ver 1.5 for so long which… -
Polygon count, shaders and render times
Hello all, I have a quick question about render times involving polygon count and shaders. How does polygon count and shaders affect render times? From what I have researched so far, my conclusion would be that shaders are multiplicative in terms of render times as it does calculations on each polygon. What I mean is that:… -
Re: Animating idle states for first-person view
As have been mentioned, you either need a rather long loop, or you need a short generic one. If you go with the long one, try to stay away from big and distinctive movements. You can put those in randomized loops instead. If you go for a short-loop approach try to just make the character breathe. On 30 fps a 180 long… -
Re: Some Maya Questions
1- never experienced this are you sure you havent got something like "create uvs in new set" tagged 2- yes look in display-polygons-custom poly display, lots of powerfull stuff in there too. 3- you can relax, or smooth using the sculpting tools, which if you want to do it across the whole model select what you want… -

Maya LT - Object becomes dark after duplicating
Hi, I'm making a model in Maya. I'm a beginner so I'm solving one issue at a time. This is my model. Now you'll notice that the other wheel is missing. So I duplicate the wheel on this side and move it over to the other side and change the Y rotation value to 180. It becomes black and I couldn't figure out why. Like this I… -
Aerial Scout/Light Attack Drone (Near Future Design)
Hi, after completing the M-80 Zolja I decided to head back to a more modern design for the next model. I decided to create a winged scout drone with VTOL abilities. After some sketching and try & error I cam up with a first blockout: (Left is view onto the top side, right the bottom side.) The idea is that the drone uses a… -
Re: Fixed Camera (eg. Resi 1) Research
Oh yea parasite Eve, that was great! Weird and kind of gross, but great. They did a weird mix of pre-rendered and 3D so their cameras where not as interactive, which was fine but you could tell the higher production value on some of the backgrounds locked in certain elements and forced things to feel a little too composed…
