IK/FK Switch Arm Problem in Maya
I am making two arms that are IK/FK Switch. The Left arm is great! I'm using a blend color node to swap between the ik and fk and it all works on the left. I put the rotation x y z of the IK shoulder elbow and wrist into Blend Color1 and the rotation x y z of the FK shoulder elbow and wrist into Blend Color2. I link the… -
Help with constraints and IK in max 2010
-3DS max 2010- Blue = Z axis Green = Y axis Red = x axis This is my first post and also first time rigging in max and I am looking for some help with this mechanical arm mostly dealing with constraints and IK. it is a 7 function arm 1)To start off I would want to constrain the bottom blue cyclender to be locked so that it… -
Re: Mel scripting help: moving a bunch of verts to a locator
Thanks a lot for everybodys help on this. The script works perfectly. But now i run into another problem. First I must explain the purpose for requesting this script. This is part of the main Script Im trying to write which is Quad fill (imitating Quad-cap max plugin by obliviboy). So far Ive been sampling many mel scripts… -
Re: [WIP] Lisbon Street - Unreal Engine 5
I love this. The execution is really strong, and the prop work and modeling are great. Overall, good job.I freaking love Lisbon and Portugal, and I’ve wandered these streets a lot, so you really captured the vibe. One thing that can elevate good work to fantastic work here is values and tonemapping. Let me visualize what I… -
Re: [maya] [mel] Convert rotation values into a vector
I take it you want the forward (unit) vector of the rotation matrix? If so, in mel you can get this as follows: [php] // Get the worldspace transform of the "persp" camera (returns an array of 16 values) float $TM[] = `xform -q -ws -matrix "persp"`; // From that transform matrix the components of the Z rotation vector will… -
Re: I got a comlicated idea/question
@ $!nz: Sorry I dont have any working implementation of it, was just a proof of concept to show to my team members for a group project. PS: R = x and u G = y and v B = z so when you mask off from the tex coord thats how you access the x,y,z or u,v of something. Ill try and make something, sorta busy atm but will do when I… -
Re: FFX X-2 Brotherhood Sword
Thanks. Update in progress: Redid the blade and handle in 3ds Max (After spending 21 days on the high-poly model for a gun, I really don't mind redoing a one-sitting job). I admittedly was not sure about using Mudbox here but I'm going to at least try it. I don't have much sculpting in my gallery and I really prefer the… -
Re: Jester's Cap for Scout
I am pretty sure that if I go back and rebuild the LODs and check before I create them which particular edge rows have the seam, then DON'T DELETE those edges, I should be able to fix the problem where the whole pattern appears in between two rows of UVs. Those are on the border of the texture, so if I removed one, it… -
Re: Editing vertex normals in Max, got scripts?
Neox, no doing average just averages the normals, if the angles of the neighboring faces are different, the resulting vector won't always be perpendicular to the face (which is what we want). Idealy I'd like a script that takes all my selected faces one by one, and aligns the vertex normals so they are perpendicular to… -
Re: Tangent Space Confusion
Correct on all accounts. It's much better to simply make sure the normals are always normalized then normalizing them when rendering. You can also use the blue channel to store a 255 bit map (like a height map for instance) if you are not interested in supporting normals pointing backwards(negative Z). If we can assume the…
