After a long downtime, Blur have re uploaded their Python plugin for Max/XSI. http://code.google.com/p/blur-dev/ This is awesome as not only can you access the whole maxscript API from python but the reverse is also available. Say you want to do some work with regular expressions in mxs or perhaps you want to make some…
In fact when "repeating" the pattern in the three directions (120 segree "apart") and constraining onto the triangle like in case of pattern generation then the spherical projection does work and the "continuoes curves" does fit. Used the almost legaxy trick in blender to instance those pattern geometry on th faces of…
We don't put AI generated slop in our games. Let's just ignore the plethora of technical issues for a moment and focus on the humanity of it: There is a shared feeling we all have when we see AI, and it's disgust. When you read an email written by ChatGPT, do you feel the love, or do you think "this person could care…
FWIW, from the perspective of the person providing feedback, commenting on a model to indicate edits is generally much faster when done over a clean screenshot provided by the 3D artist, as opposed to being given direct access to the model. Dumping the responsability of capturing screenshots for paintover feedback on to…
well the i7 is quad core and the i5 is dual core. While theres still speed loss between cores just not as much as there used to be running dual chips, in short overall, yes for rendering your better off with the i7. Maya uses multi cores for rendering, and I'm not a super-knoweldgable guy about the loads programs pull from…
maxscript question, i`m working with the node event system and in the function you call you have an event and a node param i`m trying to get the actual selected node so i can check if its a spline but the param is a number instead of a node Event Detected: Event#geometryChanged, Nodes #(8998) at first i thought it was a…
Im sorry but this contest seems a lot like trying to get underpaid real estate archviz work from artists disguised as a contest. The judges include "A Digital Platform for Real Estate business that develops Software, Hardware, Digital Architecture, Marketing and Communications." ( on the website of TECMA solutions ) as…
Hey guys, if the original author don't mind, I have temporarily shared it here on this link while the original one comes back: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/136334834/PBRTK/PBRTK_v0_2.zip (I had also this in the same folder where I saved it, don't remember if it was related somehow, but it treated 3dsmax shader fx…
Hi! The name's SimplyBlissful. As a beginner 3D artist, I'm looking to offer my services to those who want their 2D projects, realized to 3D! I'm only offering 3D-Modelling, so no UV unwrapping, texturing or rigging. I'm also not creating models with mouth meshes. What I require from you on this is a turnaround sheet of…
Hello guys. My question is software independent, technique based. So, If i were to have make an open world game and i make hundreds of people in my modelling software, and when things would come to make a face solution that can be compatible with sharing 1 animation across hundreds of models, and lets say i wanted to make…
