I love the UV tiles too, another must have is the Export to Photoshop feature. Amazingly usefull. Also check out the way mb stores textures. all your layers end up in a folder as regular images rather than part of the mudbox file. you can link your 3D app to these and it will update every time you save. Awesome stuff. One…
Here are two example scripts: wont work if you don't have nvcompress.exe's file-path in your PATH ENV Variable put the files here \Adobe Photoshop CS*\Presets\Scripts run from File>Scripts for color: SaveDDS_c.js for normals: SaveDDS_n.js How it works: it saves a temporary copy of the current document as a .tga it opens…
Can't say to much from a programming standpoint...but: To setup the camera for fps view, you could start out with a first person controller prefab...which is in the standard assets folder in the project directory. Then you make the arms children of the prefab..with them positioned where you want to see them in front of the…
Here it is: https://www.dropbox.com/s/kmjdqs4kev4f462/SetPivot2UE4.zip Remember to rotate your mesh 90 degrees (i think) clockwise before you add the pivot or it will be arse about face in UE4 :poly122: like the pic above. I might add a "rotate mesh" button to this script later. So you just rotate and then add the pivot.…
Well, maybe there isn't a big problem with Unity which is flexible in this part. When I make my textures I use qSave to have ability to save fast my textures and it really helps so in case of Unity we can overwrite textures from Asset folder in Unity project, that's true, but there is bunch of other engines where you need…
Ok, kanible it is :) Thanks for the edge loop reference - I've got that same picture lying around somewhere in my reference pic folders, lol. One thing I should point out with modeling faces - just like drawing or any art form, the rules aren't set in stone as to how the loops should flow. The one never changing rule is…
One of my previous jobs, I use to have an 'Off ramp' folder on my computer. We had a great view of an off ramp on the freeway. The great part about it is it has no banking, so the INSTANT it rains, people start flying off it. The other side of it is a small downward hill, so the car typically lands on the front bumper and…
You can put a shelf button for doing something like: { string $files[] = `ls -type "file"`; for ( $file in $files ) { string $fileName = `getAttr ( $file + ".fileTextureName" )`; setAttr -type "string" ( $file + ".fileTextureName" ) $fileName; }} Untested, but I think it should work. Then you just click that and it will…
Good work! The character might appear a bit too old for late teens/early twenties. I've done a quick google search of males in their early twenties, take a gander and see what you think: http://b7.ac-images.myspacecdn.com/00577/74/18/577788147_m.jpg…
on the music tip, I think droning music helps the most; long lyric-less songs help me the most.
