Thank you! You've got a great point there. I'll keep on studying. I've tried working with b/w,then coloring,technique, but it didn't work for me, because I always messed the colors in the end. For me colors are very important. You can call me control freak when it comes to colors. So trying to come to the color I need…
Have to disagree here. Between Rendering Maya 2016 multithreaded ( and it appears more for the future ) light baking upcoming Direct X 12 leveraging all those cores. I would say that the multi threaded revolution is well under way. If not for the average consumer... Certainly for the Polycount set? Moore's law has hit a…
Hello everyone, Nice to see everyone's work coming along. At the moment I am faced with a problem. I am trying to create foliage but when I mask out things like grass, I get hard jagged edges in game and it ruins the mood. I was wondering if anyone knows why this might be? I have tried the alpha mask in both opacity and…
simply put.... no. if anything PC games are coming back, which means even more high poly. But when it comes down to it. consoles arent going anywhere. the core gamers will always want a good controller in their hands, looking at a big screen (and yes, PC can go into this category). consoles are also way more social than…
Thanks poopipe . So it should be some per face index like those 1001,1002 stored with the geo or it's still some code to execute during loading or run time that assign per face mat ID based on UV values? I mean if it's in the geo already so why the code? I never heard about storing it in FBX for example.
1-high and low poly should have the same siluet. objects view distance also matters. you want to avoid baking artifacts from objects thats closer to the camera. 2-biggest thing i learned was that there are multiple uv maps for a reason. you can uv map the same object for many different reasons. like adding extra details or…
err probably because not everyone that knows a bit of "code" knows every bit of code. "You just need a terminal to hack into the mainframe through the backdoor" "I don't get it, I thought you said you where a programmer? Why can't you re-target Chinese ICBM's to obliterate Russia using my Commodore 64!?" It's that simple...
I use notePad++ with the mel language definition installed. It doesn't do autocomplete for mel but does code folding. https://www.highend3d.com/downloads/applications/syntax-scripting/c/mel-language-definition-for-notepad to get code folding to work I had to add { and } as folding options. Maya LT doesn't support python so…
Well we tracked the pirate down. We did a promo code give away and this guy took our pomo code and cracked our app. He didn't even buy the app to rip us off! Here is what I have been posting on various developer forums so people stop giving this guy their apps.
ya your doing good making something like this if your just starting to get familiar with mel. as far as code organization, you should be trying to use global variables less, and use function arguments and returns in there place, This makes it easier to read the code, and also prevents conflicts with pre-existing global…
