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: 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… -

Re: UE4_Make tooltip look at and scale constraint to camera.
To be honest... using bleuprint... making UI... or any code base action if that makes sense. I m on noob level... been trying to avoid it for a very long time. Saying that what u are saying is exactly what i need to do... now figuring out the nodes i need and how to connect them is what i need to figure out. Feel free to… -
Re: Model library, do you use/have one?
you wouldn't use alienbrain just for this, it's source control for the whole of development, including code (although coders don't like it, they tend to prefer Perforce, winCVS and so on) and takes up its own distinct place within a working pipeline. Using it just for an asset library would be a huge waste of money… -
Re: Struggling to break into the industry? Is your folio helping you?
Glad I found this discussion! I've been on the character modeling beat a few years now, but even a few projects later, jobs are pretty hard to come by (of course the competition in character art jobs always seems to be pretty stiff.) In a recent interview, the interviewer asked me if I had a site for personal work - is…
