working as usual in Maya and everything is fine then suddenly my hotbox (the menu that comes up when pressing space) simply won't change from animation mode. no matter how i keep changing to polygon mode or rendering mode or what ever, the hotbox menus is still stuck in animation mode i'm running maya 8.5 and never had…
for the auto rigging I'd suggest looking at XSI's solution. you load up a control rig of sorts which is a bunch of nodes for each joint. you essentially move those nodes around and into position on your mesh and then tell XSI to create the rig based off that control rig. There's a quadraped solution also available within…
Attempted to make this tiled floor with my new layered material. It's not too bad I think but I will be recruiting some adobe substance sampler help to get a closer match It's been a good opportunity to test all of the parameters and controls anyway, I've added quite a lot of new features, although the one i really want is…

My guess your issue is with 2d patterns like procedural brick texture because 3d noises look same from any view directions. For 2d patterns a common way is to use so called tri-planar projection. Blender doesn't have it by default but it's either possible to find on blenderartist.org or do it on your own: You make 3…
Yep. The idea is to integrate it into 3dsmax, Maya and XSI but I also will make an stand-alone app + batch mode and SDK. I developed ratGPU basically to improve my OpenCL skills but also because I wanted a renderer to perform beauty shots in xNormal 4, so yep, definitely. Not currently, but I could adapt it very easily to…
Well, in Unity you use C# or a Javascript derivative. Unreal 4 has a nice visual script editor called blueprints that is fantastic. That alone makes me recommend it. You can make an entire game without touching a line of code (I know this exists for Unity but it's an addon). It's quite elegant. C++ isn't outdated in the…
I know you're going for simplistic, but there could still be some sort of art in your design. Right now this is coming off as a word doc saved as an html file. Additionally, and probably the worst of worsts, cgchat is linked before polycount...ahem :] I normally assume that basic html is in everyone's library of knowledge,…
The beast that I am - I have managed to convert it to PHP I must admit, PHP seems the better of the two. For instance, the code to read an external txt file (as used on the actual main body text). ASP: <font class="small">Code:</font><hr /><pre> <% Set fs=Server.CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject") Set…
This has to to with the indexing of the curve. It seem every part is indexed separately but this is not relayed onto the Index node ( only one dimension 0..n an not somethign like (1..p, 1..n) ~~ (Part , PartIndex) ) so on splitting teh curve the index "restarts" of some kind but then it is not correctly interpreted…
