Scripted materials in Max 9 ?
Anyone using custom material scripts in Max 9? We're getting bizarre "bad allocation" errors with param blocks, and it seems to be coming from deep inside Max's code. Sparks (the Max SDK forum) is as slow and silent as usual, SDK docs show nothing new, extensive Googling turns up nothing. Hitting up our contact in Autodesk… -
Re: 3d Coat Color Picker Hotkey Help
9 year thread necro, lets go I vaguely remember what this was about. Basically if you save your hotkey file, you can open it up and manually edit the hotkeys. The way the hotkey file is formatted puts all hotkeys between <Code> and </Code> block elements, for example <Code>L</Code> So if you know what hotkey you want to… -
Re: Mirroring and stacking UVs leads to tangent discontinuity and seam
Thanks all for your comments! I ended up trying to solve this in Unreal Engine 5. I brought in my plane mesh with the texture and sure enough the seam was there too. Based on this thread: https://polycount.com/discussion/116922/a-solution-to-normal-maps-with-mirrored-uvs-in-udk I flipped the x channel in a shader just for… -
Re: Star Wars - Redemption ( FanMade Project )
Hi there ! It's been a long time, I've managed to find some time recently to work on the lowpoly, UVs, bake, and finally the textures of this new outfit for Mevenn :) I don't make new armors for her everyday so It was really refreshing going back on art choices in a way to define the character further than what's already… -

Re: Maya zPipeMaker Script
Ya true, it does slow things down but only really matter for things that are huge, like if you ever modified the pymel core, you can see a Hugh startup cost to using reload. But you prolly got 1 module and maybe a thousand lines of code so likely no more than a fraction of a second to a second to reload. Good thinking… -
Re: Bethesda's Creation Club
The biggest issue is that the best mods for Bethesda games are most often the free ones, and the stuff that ends up on Creation Club is lower quality or cash grabs. The next biggest problem is official mods can never be full conversions or IP infringing, or "fix" parts of the game that are intended, and they can't have… -
Re: Maya hlsl shader
Sweet thanks, seems I had a copy of lcNextGenShader_1.2.fx somewhere on my external HDD, was using that. I'll check our 2.1! =] I don't think any artist here will care about how nasty or hacky a code is.. as long as the end result looks great. =D But than again, I can see why you would want to take it down if you are a… -
Re: Programming Knowledge for Game Art???
Coming from an engineer background i can say that it's not that know how to code have helped me but you start to work smarter. It's the mindset of a programmer that always wants you to work smarter and get the task done in less time. But i think you can get those skills just by working on a studio environment. It's also…
