Random Drawing Prompts (Personal Challenge)
Over the past couple of days, I've been writing a little script in Python that gives you a handful of random prompts to draw, and I think it'd be fun to use it as a kind of daily (or almost daily) drawing challenge for myself. The script itself is nothing fancy as I'm still pretty much a beginner at programming, plus it… -
Maya questions: fillets, merge vertices
Hello everyone, I'm doing a somewhat high polycount model to get comfortable with Maya's workflow, shown here. I have a couple of questions. [*]Is there a way to put a radius on an edge in Polygon mode? In essence, I am trying to do in Polygon mode what the fillet command does in Nurbs mode. I thought I saw a MEL script… -
Zpheres for 3ds Max
I am working on implementing ZSpheres in 3ds Max. It's has many advantages over the normal ZSpheres, like better topology and better approximation to the spheres, plus you can combines different Zspheres models together (like if you have a horse and a human you can make a centaur). Also the model will be automatically… -
MODO | Creating a Macro with Replay
Replay is a powerful visual tool for creating macros in MODO. This tool is packed with amazing features that make the creation of Macros much easier than the built-in recorder. There are too many features to list here but some of my favorite are the ability to re-order the list of commands with simple drag and drop, stop a… -
Re: RIGGING?? advice
You should also learn to script in your program of choice to automate alot of your rigging. Obviously learn the fundamentals of rigging things a certain way, but then try to figure out how to script the same thing. Try to look at rigging from an animator's perspective, try different types of rigs, animate with them, learn… -
Re: Large Land Formations
@RyanB Sorry for the long delay to reply to your post, but I wanted to say thank you for demystifying that for me a little more. I apparently got fooled in the areas I was playing because of some nice shader tricks. Looking at it more, you absolutely have a point -- they are just intersections in the ground. Two questions… -
Re: Creating Debris/Rubble in Maya for UE4 games?
Your thread made me think of this script a friend made. Junk Pile Maker. http://filipericsson.com/ You select meshes you want to use and the script makes a junk pile for you. So If you want to do that you should start off by creating some junk assets and I'd probably say that you should use 1 material per asset. So fill… -
Re: Blender to Maya LT questions
Yes but requires few more steps. http://download.autodesk.com/global/docs/maya2012/en_us/index.html?url=files/Viewing_the_scene_Show_an_isolated_subset_of_objects_or_components_in_a_panel.htm,topicNumber=d28e15945 Yes. Also you can add hotkeys to custom made shelf scripts, just like in blender. In my opinion you will gain… -
Re: Best way to drag a shape over an object's surface in Maya
you could bring the water to the horse instead as an alternative... Most of Maya's Deformers use a duplicate BaseShape strategy to calculate deformation. So, for instance if your sphere was a wrap you could slide across the surface by rotating the sphere's deform "baseShape" along with the explicit deform shape after… -
Re: Roadkill Pro
Well ive checked and after renaming a few files so the mel can find them Ive gotten a bit further. Currently its now failing on D: /Autodesk/Maya2017/scripts/startup/autoLoadPlugin.mel line 32: initializePlugin function failed (RoadkillPro2017_x64) Im not really sure where to go from here, but will do some digging. EDIT:…
