So I am doing some rigging in 3ds max 2017 and I'm noticing a particularly annoying occurrence. When using the Bone Tools rollout menu from the Animation panel I can go along working just fine. After a while however I notice that the "Bone Edit Mode" button becomes grayed out and unclickable. Closing and opening the…
Blueprint can be really powerful when you approach it from a programming perspective (ie: taking an OOP approach and making use of the interfaces and macros). One big problem there is that most people who use Blueprint are not going to be approaching it from a programming perspective. Those who would are more likely…
I cant remember if i've brought this up but have the problems with metalness been reported yet? for example, if you have a dark surface like paint, and you want to add a thin scratch to this which breaks the paint and shows the metal underneath, you get a white outline around the scratch. I can set up an example tomorrow…
at the end of the script it deletes the bake render job node from the object- it might the reason why later baking stuff the max way wont work anymore :/ if so sorry about that. Will dig into debugging right away - see if I can find the code part that causes that. Because I experienced something similar as well sometime…
Thanks Eric . I have company license . Just haven't updated it since 23 . So accustomed to 3dmax being ancient dinosaur I stopped to pay attention but this new feature makes me curious . Hoped somebody already tested it and save me precious C drive space . Gemini says there is a script that allows to copy /paste in between…
I don't have the tablet, but sketching on the Galaxy Note is so-so. Not as good as a wacom. Some of the drawing apps have lag and for very thin lines you have to be very gentle when drawing. But if you get used to it it's ok. I really hope the Tab has a better CPU - I think that's the note's weakness when it comes to…
I'm kind of close to the end I think, I'm fixing some bugs and running renders through MRQ now so I should really catch up on the posts. Clothing creation was really problematic and I think one of the things I spent the most time on. There's a lot I could talk about but I guess I will focus on 2 things I realized: 1.…
Something I've been meaning to ask about is, on that page it shows two curves, one for rubber and one for chrome. How does marmoset toolbag control the differences between materials fresnel curves? When rendering with the mia material in mental ray I usually turn on the Fresnel checkbox and then adjust the index of…
Pulling your hair out trying to fix generic AI images? I recently helped a client replace AI art with human-led concept strategies ( moodboards, OKRs, design thinking), and got their game pitch approved by the board of directors on the first try. - See the full project…
I am big fan of the new triplanar nodes. I am also fan of MG_dripping_rust node which comes with Substance Designer. But I'm getting seams in my UV islands which is natural behaviour as the node has no idea about the seams. I tried inputting a mask which was processed with triplanar node, but still get seam. Is there any…
