[Maya] Controlling a shader network?
So I'm going to be doing sprite renders in Mental Ray for a while and wrote some custom shader networks in the Hypershade. On one, I have 12 or so attributes around the network that need to be set per surface/asset. What I want to do is have an easy collection of them, so I don't need to dig through the hypershade each… -
Re: The Long Dark- abandoned RV
"Better latter than never". ;) Because the bench is harvestable, so their interactive interface is covering the one of the ammo box. Can harvest first (for recover some wood pieces) or using the Safehouse Customization mode, move the bench for aside, to be able to pick the ammo. -
Re: On The "Adult Games Censorship"
The infiltration into twitch advertisements for WAR was an eye opener few years back, them tucking their tails and running off after being exposed was very telling. Than come to find out C.O.D. franchise is basically doing just that, its like a physiological operation in the open to get people who crave to do these things… -
Maya lock object selection toggle script
Hi guys and gals ! I made a small script that locks an object for editing, while keeping every other object on screen for reference. It's a toggle so it works with just one click and throws you into component edit mode when activated and then back in object mode when deactivated. I've attached the script and you can just… -
Re: Best way to embed video on your own site?
its more about the player and the crap that comes with it - I just hate apple for that, which is putting a raped version of Quicktime on the windows platform. Luckily some browsers are starting to implement video playback (firefox, chrome, opera to name a few) with either MPEG4 (needs license though for the browser… -
Re: [Portfolio] - JoshF, Demo Reel
I'm not so sure opening with a streaming reel set to play is a good idea on your main page. I normally like the option to view a reel (or not) based on the 2D images I see first. One disadvantage is that you start spending your bandwidth right away anytime someone comes to your site. ouch... Maybe give the reel a splash… -
Re: Houdini rock cliff generator
Working on adding width to my hard edges using the voxelMesh node. Basically taking each piece of my large split mesh, converting it to volume and back to polygons. It seems to be a pretty solid way to add definition to my mesh. There's some nasty results coming from concave shapes though, something to come back to. -
Re: Underwater Sci-fi Lab Interior (feedback welcome)
Yeah, the strong underlighting creates a really cool effect. I was inspired by The Abyss, which has a similar lighting on the Deep Core platform, but my version ended up pretty subtle to draw more attention to the workbench, but I now realize I may have over corrected. I have a caustic effect on the moonpool light that I… -
Re: Necessary budget for building a PC to become a 3D Game Character Artist
It's absolutely not necessary to go buy a giant workstation to make 3d models and hasn't been since about 2008. You can probably do the work you need to do on that machine quite comfortably - I used a worse one when I was working on first party PS4 titles. You may want more ram for zbrush but in general I'd suggest not… -
Re: Baking Problem in SP (Modelled in Max)
@michaelarby glad it was solved, i tend to give a crap about people not being "robbed", so if you could now remove your work from the post since this is solved can eliminate some predatory person/s from claiming the piece and using it for their own means and profit. I'd like a script if possible where this would be done…
