Basic Maxscript Questions
I have a couple Max Script questions that are pretty basic. 1. How to I call an .ms script with an .mcr? For example, here is one of the textools mcr's. How would I call that same script *fn_16_relax" without the if statement requiring textools to be open? 2. Is it possible to copy the contents of an .ms file into an .mcr… -
Re: Photoshop + Python problem
Hmm... I just ran this: import win32com.client psApp = win32com.client.Dispatch("Photoshop.Application") psApp.Open(r"G:\test.psd") # Opens a PSD file doc = psApp.Application.ActiveDocument # Get active document object layer = doc.ArtLayers[0] # Get the bottom-most layer layer.AdjustBrightnessContrast(20,-15) # Bright +20,… -
Re: 3ds Max Rigs:: Wire Parameters offset and Constraint conflicts
Maybe we are talking past one another. Are you speaking about this? "IK_l_arm_elbow_control". Thats only being used as a swivel goal. Which I was just trying to figure out how to turn on/off that boolean in its options through parameters. Or do you mean with IK elbow upnode, making on the slave rig thats looking 50/50… -
Re: Mathimatical techneque to work out polycounts?
Checking your script against our in-game stats, it matches exactly! Except... when I'm forcing a surface to turn off backface-culling. We do this at the material level, by checking the 2-sided checkbox. Then during export the vertices that have that material ID assigned will be duplicated in order to automatically create… -
Re: natural selection 2
Another fan here! Aesir: They made some money off of their Sudoku (Zen of Sudoku on Steam) game, and they're also selling a debugging application for Lua scripts, which they're using themselves since a lot of things will in fact be scripted using lua rather than hardcoded in, like game mechanics. Which is amazing news for… -
Re: maya marking menu madness
The menu shows up, but the function gives me this, // Error: Cannot find procedure "MDL_createPrimitive" I take this to mean it cannot find the Mel script file. I tried taking the script Mel code and pasting into a "created" marking menu mel file. That did nothing, however when i was in Maya, i drug that created script… -
Re: What do you lot think of Modo?
I almost always managed to get correct scaling/smoothing with FBX.2010 export into UDK by checking explicit normals and using farfarer's vertex normal kit. If it don't works then I re-save the fbx or re-import the mesh. I always triangulate the final mesh inside modo before exporting. Raul's max style sg script is also… -
Re: Question: Setting up assets in Unity so I can safely add textures later
Use a proper naming convention. For example: Export a box from whatever app in FBX. Create prefab from FBX Object name: MBU_Hotel3StoreyB_greybox_0000 in project Material name: MAT_Hotel3StoreyB Put instances in the scene, first instance ends in 0001. Use a script to auto-increment the number. Later on you decide to… -
Re: Max retopo
The graphite modeling tools are great but here are some other scripts to check out too. Wrapit: http://matt-clark.co.uk/wrapit/spe.php?o=177 A paid for script that has some great features. Max Retopo: http://www.scriptspot.com/3ds-max/scripts/max-retopo This live snaps one mesh to the other as you're working. It's a bit… -
Re: Is Quixel cheating?
I'd agree with what everyone else said about learning the basics first, which you have. Rather than looking at it as simply another piece of software like ZBrush, I see it as being more like for Photoshop as Mel scripts are for Maya. It would be perfectly fine to create a script to auto-rig a basic human model, but it…
