Curious as to what you plan on specializing in? Right now it seems you are really pushing for a 2D objective? But could be wrong. While it is good to have grounding in every sector of the arts, including traditional/2D as a 3D artist, but I think if you are simply just starting a portfolio out it might be best to just pump…
Yay! G'luck with the app. You'll see it has some elegant sides, but also some very bad ones :P You'll love the viewport navigation tho. Another way to setup UI and shortcuts, maybe more visual : If you can locate the tool you want in one of the top menus, just click that tool while pressing down shift+ctrl+alt (I can never…
Thanks Fat! So far I found this: <Uvwmap.Gizmo>.rotation Quat default: (quat 0 0 -1 0) -- animatable The rotation of the UVWmap gizmo. Which I guess should allow to enter a quaternion angle value as a angle transformation for the UVWmap gizmo. And also this: viewport.getTM() Which outputs the viewport angle in the form…
[ QUOTE ] I'll point out that if anyon else is plannin on reading anything by Dan Brown, don't bother. The guy really really really cannot write. The daVinci code did well because the topic was interesting, but the man is a talentless hack. [/ QUOTE ] Well someone at work made me read Angels and Demons and then the Davinci…
I'm glad you guys are finding this useful. Rakile: Macroscripts are run a bit differently than regular scripts. They're saved in the UI/Macroscripts folder and can be assigned to buttons and hotkeys instead of having to manually run it every time. How to save and run a macroscript 1. In Max, click on the MAXScript menu and…
Looks really sweet! I wish the feet had better contact shadows, and not too sure about an upright bookshelf and several AC units. I'd just leave those props out, the ground is detailed enough, and the car helps enough with scale. Jets are cool, but why are they firing if it's standing on the ground? Might be better to see…
That's really good advice thank you. i set up all the bloom affects in compositing tab, but i will take that advice and disable it for now so i can get solid lighting in place first. I'll experiment with the colour of the lighting so it seems it could be coming from the neon lights. thank you <3
Naturon. I think it's coming along nicely. Some of the forms seem a little mushy at the moment but I am sure that is just because it's still in wip mode.
hollaAtMe: The second color comes by offsetting the UVs for those polygons one step to the left : ) Simple as that its then masked out with a black/white mask in a lerp-node.
Can you give a bit more info on this map data parsing? I've done a fair amount of work with mapping and satellite data so might be able to point you in a useful direction (generally speaking the geospatial people have already solved your problem, it's just not obvious where to find the code or tools)
