Damn, that was a great read. I would have never guessed it was that complicated to implement a FOV slider. I guess it's one of those things that some people don't appreciate enough because they have come to expect it. On a related note, I wish people would stop bashing the CoD engine. It is an incredibly difficult task to…
Hello everyone, I'm trying to learn MEL scripting coming from a background of Unity C#. Currently I'm working on a script that moves all selected vertices to 0 on the x-axis. I borrowed this script from another forum but it doesn't seem to work when the object has moved: string $verts[] = `ls -sl -fl`; Now, I'm trying to…
Thanks Shrike! To answer your questions: 1) I prefer using UDK over everything, so that entails using Cascade (the particle editor) and the material editor extensively. I also have used CryEngine (which doesn't have a name for its particle editor), Fork Particle Studio (a standalone editor that is implemented into most…
the biggest issue I've come across is remembering to press the freaking T button to go into edit mode.. there's a lot of little crap like that. once you get used to it it's fine but it can really throw new users through a loop!
Ah I see. Thanks very insightfull. I wasn't sure if I could delete the transformation nodes. Thanks for confirming. Coming from Max. Maya is not easy to learn, very technical. But thanks again for the insightfull post!
@pior Also didn't have a drawing tablet at the time, actually still don't but currently looking at XPen's Artist 12 for what I want to do plus within budget of what is affordable. As for using AD to sketch with, well once I became comfortable dealing with each layer - masked curve grouping and various output settings this…
If you use selectMode to enter component mode, it will switch to the last active component selection mode that was used. If you have multiple objects selected, selectMode -q -o will return true as long as there is at least one object in your selection still in object mode. Personally I use a hotkey to toggle between Object…
Hi , can you explain the "mathematical models" needed for the machines to understand the data. I come from a 3d printing background and i use polygon modeling for it. All i need to do is export as an .STL file and the machine translates this into the necessary gcode. Thats all that most of these machines are working with…
Fantastic work and wonderful discussion surrounded this challenge. It's been great to see the progress as well as the perspectives on approaches for ways to achieve certain things. I hope everyone came away from the challenge feeling as though they've grown a bit and to those who are still working to reach that finish line…
