Not sure what happened, though it might be the fact that it defaults to "search subdirectories". I loaded up my ref folder (which has a shit ton of subdirectories with a shit ton of images), and it got progressively more sluggish as it generated/loaded thumbnails. It was less than 200 images in when things got so sluggish…
FreeImage is great imo. Works fast overall I feel. It also supports all the image formats I wanted in 1 package. Plus makes it easy to get an Alpha Channel Bitmap, or modify the bitmaps Hue/Saturation/Ect easily enough. He's still working on it and improving it, so that's awesome. I did run into issues here and there with…
Yep it's Python (which I've discovered through Blender). Actually firsts scripts on Blender are very easy to write, as all python commands are accessible through right click on UI and/or console, you can barely sometimes just copy-paste and click Run. Things gets a lot harder when you have to create an UI, do non-visual &…
Thanks. But how would that work out for the end-user? I mean, if I can't just copy a module to the python folder (under the Maya installation) but am required to run pip in order to get things working, doesn't the same apply for the end-user? The second thing on my mind is that not everyone is comfortable having their…
Did a little work on a tool for Tech Artists working with Maya and PyCharm as there python IDE. Its Pluing for PyCharm, that lets you excute the current selection in maya or the current documeant with one button. It also Allows view the maya script editor log in PyCharm as well. Download - GitHub It can be configured in…
Working on a lightweight app to pre-filter or blur cubemaps and save to the mipmaps. No UI, no anything yet except a renderer. Runs on the GPU. Takes only 1 or 2 seconds to calculate the blur. I've implemented like 10 specular BRDF's right now, and you can enter your target cube resolution, number of mips, or minimum mip…
Made a quick maxscript (the usual first maxscript people probably make) http://travisevashkevich.com/Shareables/CenterExport.zip It's a export script for all Selected Objects which will center the pivot to the object, put it to 0,0,0 and export then put the object back and reset the pivot. Just made it for some stuff I was…
Working on this for my Master Thesis. Got some moving images now. Running UE4, Maya and screen recording together made my MacBook quite hot :poly136: But the UE on my PC wouldn't compile anymore for some reason :( Also maya didn't react to key presses anymore while screen recording and UE chose the stupidest time for…
So, I was looking at scriptspot and found a peculiar experimental feature in Max 2012's Nitrous Viewport that I didn't know existed. Realtime Reflections! Found about it on this script's page. Now get this to run at higher than 6 FPS on a machine like mine and ship it in the next cryengine update. :poly124: EDIT: on second…
Updated the downloads on my site. I did in-fact forget to add doubleclick and drag/drop support on new imageSets. I thought I tested this... : \ Should work fine now :) http://www.matthewlichy.com/bitmapResourcer.html Oh, and also maybe instead of running x64 for those crashing, try x32, or just use that one. There…
