Re: Texturing - Whats Wrong with my settings?

Pretty much the same thing that ben's tutorial does but without the light setup. you can find the script at scriptspot.… -
Re: 3ds Max constraint questions
Yea that's a bit crazy, it still needs an expression or like wallasaurus said a scripted rotation controller, which I was trying to get around. If you're going that route it can be boiled down a lot simpler. Writing a scripted controller is where things get fuzzy for me and a little complex. I dug up a few things online… -
Re: Maya questions
I use Notepad++ for more complex scripts, it doesn't have a MEL syntax highlighter but TCL is close enough to work. Context looks pretty good too, I keep meaning to give it a try.

Maya 2009: Auto-update textures
Maya 2009 does not have the option to auto-refresh textures. One must manually refresh. NEX enables this feature. Is there a means of getting this feature without the need to buy and install NEX for those that only want this feature? I found this script with a search. What sucks is that the user has to manually enable the…
