Re: Mechanical Arm Rigging Problems
Since you've added IK it becomes a wee bit harder to extract the bone rotations, so you'll firstly want to set up some Expose Transform helper objects. They will query your bone rotations and provide an interface for them. [ame] http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7vxWQPFUbzQ[/ame] So, without seeing how your rig is set up I'll… -
Re: Answered: masks not behaving correctly between machines using the same smart materials and maps
The Smart Material setup is highly dependent upon input maps. If the maps change at all from project to project, the results will too. How are you setting up your projects? Are you letting 3DO bake curvature or are you using your custom curvature map? It's important to note that adding a normal map to a project… -
Re: Paint vertex tool - just alpha in Maya
oops, I kept thinking I'd try and mess with this one, but I forgot until now. I just checked it out and I guess the big problem is that the context you're using when painting vertex colors can ONLY paint RGB or RGBA. SO if you want this to work out you probably need to create your own context. The trouble is that all the… -
Re: Which school should I attend for Visa?
Is there a particular reason you want to come to the US? Canada has a pretty huge game dev scene with many US based companies having satellite studios out there as well. Might be worth doing some research on that before jumping into massive debt. https://www.gamedevmap.com/index.php?country=Canada&state=&city=&query=&type=… -
Re: Advanced training videos for Substance Designer
Like Taylor suggested. Daniel Thiger has made a lot of tutorials on Substance Designer. So maybe check those out - https://gumroad.com/discover?query=Daniel Thiger Otherwhise you don't seem that off from the intended goal. There might be a little trickery in how it's rendered with it's lighting and subtle shift of… -
Re: Attn: DIY game makers, how did you learn (the coding bits)?
Cheers guys, glad I'm not just being dumb. Spacey - Yeah there's been a few queries on their forums by the looks of things, and they've said they're rearranging things. I think the 'Codeyear' course is in one order, and the Javascript course is in another, but they got mixed up. Yeah this is some heavy math stuff, I'm… -
Get polygon normal in maya (MEL or Python)
Hi guys. This is probably a very common problem, but I can't find any useful resource on the web :/ I'm building a script that check the visibility of all the faces of a model from a certain camera angle and deletes them if needed. In this case 'visibility' is just testing if the face is 'facing' the camera, not an actual… -
Re: [Maya][Python] Logic Revision in a Display Toggle Script
The thing with toggling is that if the selected objects have different modes then it's best to set everyone to the same mode first, and then only toggle when all objects have the same mode. This is how most software do it. Also, displaySmoothness seems to take an object list as parameter, and return lists as well, maybe… -
Re: Trading Card game Artwork
Hi Fenyce! Thank you for your comments. The division crests displayed on the card will be modified for smaller screens as we have already looked into potential legibility issues. In regards to your question on introducing new colors, you are indeed correct. Each division will sport their own unique color palette to stand… -
Re: Anyone know of a .ma batch exporter for Maya?
Here ya go. Nothing fancy. If the scene is saved, it creates a folder called Batch_Exports and exports it there. If the scene is not saved, it prompts for a directory to save in. Ran some basic tests on it and worked so let me know if something bugs out for you. Also this is Python code btw as a headsup import maya.cmds as…
