I don't think you can out of the box but with a little scripting you can create two macro's that can be hotkey'ed. I'm not sure how comfortable you are with maxscript so let me know if this seems like a bunch of gobbledygook.macroScript SoftSelFalloffPlusCategory:"MyTools"toolTip:"Soft Sel Falloff…
Hello. I want to do material blending for painting a terrain in Unreal Engine, and I’ve done it using three materials and height lerp. My question is, since I’m doing this with RGB channels, I can’t use more than three materials. How can I use layer painting together with height lerp? I want to increase the number of…
HI! Well this game has been posted around, and I myself am getting tired of it, but hey, knowing how valuable feedback can be, I thought it shouldn't cause too much of a trouble doing it again. Anyhow this is a game about witches (well, just one in fact) and represents the funmost part of their life: flying. That's about…
Thanks Eric . I have company license . Just haven't updated it since 23 . So accustomed to 3dmax being ancient dinosaur I stopped to pay attention but this new feature makes me curious . Hoped somebody already tested it and save me precious C drive space . Gemini says there is a script that allows to copy /paste in between…
Hello Andrea, We have added a new Mesh Position node in PixaFlux that allows you to bake 8k position maps. With this node you can bake the maps relative to the model bounding box, the scene bounding box, or a custom bounding box. Here is a video tutorial that shows how to use this new node: https://youtu.be/HPxAdr8acdI…
No well, Houdini for normal modeling is not hard. It's slower compared to other softwares like Modo, Maya or Blender because it's based on circular menus that can be interactively changed based on the activity that you want to do. You have 2 menus: Desktop menus that are the equivalent of the group menu set in Maya that…
The funny thing is, Photographers are more likely to buy a plugin or a set of actions rather then go hunting for a slider which they don't even know if it exists or not. It also doesn't help that A) No one ever asked Adobe for such a thing, and B) Some people who work at Adobe actually don't know what a node system…
Last time I ran performance tests on nodes flipping the green through a RGB Curves node was slightly faster than separating and recombining. It was a negligible difference, but not something an expert in crashing Blender like me should overlook, haha. I used to store all nodes groups in the startup too, but it can be…
The component mask is just to cull out just one channel of the texture or color, essentially taking out a scalar component from a vector3, so for normal maps you don't want to do that because you need all 3 channels to make a normal vector. With just a small view of the material network, I'm not sure what else you're…
