Re: Sketchbook: Rik
Here's a progress update. I've applied mapping coordinates to everything and have started making the base textures. I'm going for a photo realistic final render, and I think the wooden texture is going to really sell the end result. I also discovered Neil Blevins Soulburn Script pack and have made heavy use of his… -
Re: Slow undo in 3dsmax with DirectX materials
I was having Max crashes constantly in a similar fashion to you Johny. I would hit undo when I had DX shaders applied and it would crash. It seemed to be an "out of memory" issue from what I could tell, because I brought up my performance dialog while working and I would see the amount of memory max was using just go up,… -
Re: Exporting Splines
the only reliable compatible data transfer in max throughout starting from as early as R 2.5 up to 2012 (R 14.0) is MaxScript. About everything you construct in max is stored and retrieved as arrays and variables that can be read, modified stored and recreated with maxscript. Should you be interested in this route I would… -
Thinking about learning Modo, but will Indie be sufficient for me?
I've been seeing a lot of fantastic things about Modo the last few months, and I've always been nervous to make the switch because I'm a broke college student. I'm using the student licensed 3DS Max right now, and I've dabbled a tiny tiny bit in Maya. I'm pretty comfortable with modeling in general, and there have been… -
Re: Soft selection falloff hotkey for 3ds Max
I don't think you can out of the box but with a little scripting you can create two macro's that can be hotkey'ed. I'm not sure how comfortable you are with maxscript so let me know if this seems like a bunch of gobbledygook.macroScript SoftSelFalloffPlusCategory:"MyTools"toolTip:"Soft Sel Falloff… -
Re: Making a short film, need some advice
Could you quickly line out: How many people do you have on your team? How many days do you have you can spend on the project (per Team member/One day being eight hours of work)? How much software and art skills does your team bring to the table (which software, how advanced, how quick can each itterate and polish example… -
Re: Modo 401 for game art
Yeah I know what you mean. Coming from a Maya/Max background I actually found Modo a bit difficult to really grasp at first. This post has a great video about action centers, I put up a link to more recent versions Senecas scripts earlier in this thread, you should visit his website anyway as it's good for showing you what… -
Re: Maya Hot Keys
To be honest you should create a mel-script file with your personal modifications... For example in your MyDocument/maya/XXXX/scripts directory, you will find userSetup.mel file. Just open it, and add the following line : source "Crazyeyes_PersonnalHotKeys.mel"; Close the file and create a new ASCI file you will rename as… -
Re: 3ds max 2010 - working with motion capture data
Its all the scale of your project / ambition. If its needs lots of animation you should either use the biped/ learn scripting or give up ;) You don't need 3 skeletons depending on what you need you might not need fk or ik. You can load the fbx on a dummy skeleton and then use this skeleton to drive your control rig. Check… -
Re: Self installing maxscript mzp doesn't work properly
Thank you for the tip. This is a very bad design if you'd ask me ! ^^ I tried to replace the "then" by a "do", and also add an "else" block but it didn't change anything. Hopefully I finally managed to make it work. It seems that's because I had to include the functions inside the macroscript declaration, but outside the…
