Re: [Maya] Copy/paste multiple values in channel box
I am a little late but I will post this none the less for whoever views this thread later. You can create a tool to copy transform values from one object to another rather simply. Go into the script editor and under MEL paste this code: string $selCtrl[] = `ls -sl`; //Get values from Source… float $srcTX = `getAttr… -
Re: How to do skill Balancing for a RPG game ?
Testing and statistics. You want to make sure that the stats that are to be balanced can be accessible externally via a script language such as LUA or XML. Don't ever hardcode stats: because you want to exclude the programmers from the balancing problem and have them work on more important parts of the project. It is then… -
Re: Extra Skills that will pay the Meals? aka knowing Linux and Python?
It seems in this case the ILM guy became an artist because he was already at ILM and often in-house applications are preferred - especially since they know your personality and work habits. You can see this transition in games where e.g. QA people transfer to other jobs such as game designer. In this case it matters little… -
Re: Locking or Altering the Maya Hotbox
No easy way to lock it in without some serious mel surgery, AFAIK. I'm curious how you swipe so fast to first get to the controls section, but here's how to do what you ask. You're looking for [install path]\Maya2018\scripts\startup\HotboxControlsMenu.mel Or whatever your version is. Copy that to:… -

Re: [URGANT] Fixing a Maya MA file!?
" why not just save WHAT IS MADE rather than saving the STEPS IT TOOK TO GET THERE" the point of an ascii scene file is it can be parsed an written by third party apps and scripts. a ma file is essentially a mel script. so for instance you can have a compositing app write out a maya scene which has 3d lighting data that… -
Re: Sugar Rush and Mars Police wip
@stabbington @konstruct yep, the jigglebutt gives a lot of character :D @Makkon haha, le thanks : P setting up the character (in max and importing the anims into udk) was a lot simpler than making a custom pawn class that enables you to play with him + third person camera. it's been a looot of copy-pasting from forums and… -
Re: High poly to low workflow using Maya
A Live surface has been around since pre-Maya 6, I am pretty sure. It is the plain Magnet icon next to the rest of your snaps on the top right. I import two instances of the "medium poly" (a lower subdivision level of the high-poly version) and put them on the same layer, I make one semi-transparent with a Lambert… -
Re: Looking for advice and techniques for tree leaves
Since you're a 3dsmax user, I say use the treemaker script (posted in the linked to thread) its a great little script and uses particles to create facing planes, which can be converted to regular non facing planes if you wish. It's an automated version of the way Andy Zibits does it (at the bottom of the linked thread).… -
Re: Importance of app for industry modelling?
[ QUOTE ] Would it be very difficult in most cases to get hired if you model in a different program than that specified by the company? [/ QUOTE ] Most competent hiring managers understand that an application is a tool, and they are hiring an artist familiar with game tech. The tool is not 'irrelevent' but it is secondary…
