Re: Maya 2009: combining geo w/o affecting pivot
Combining or parenting? Combining will make one mesh, parenting will make one mesh selection based off the selection of the parent while still maintaining the ability to select the meshes within the parent group without having to separate. If you select them all together with the last selection becoming the parent and hit… -
Re: Saw a very young kid being sold a copy of MW3 in Gamestop today.
If I read the original post correctly it was sold to the parent not the child, they bought it after being told what the rating was? If the parent had bought it on their own would you have bothered to get upset? Potentially every adult buying games could be a parent who could give their child access to rated content! I… -
Re: How do i rig this
Rigging something like this is mostly about looking at what you want to directly control, probably the top platform, and then working your way front the start and end of the chain to make that work. For this you'd start with the pistons and having a track to constraint have the top half of the piston looking at points… -
Re: What are best AIs for game art? Both for scripting and content creating?
Yup, parents ftw!. Target is the kids, for "their" kids turn to "rule" the damaged herd they created. However there are a lot of factors outside of just blame the parents that add to the situation. It becomes horrible with some stories when you hear what people find in trash compactor bins awaiting the compactor...… -
Re: LPC vol2 #2 - action film - heros & baddies
In your animation menu, there is a 'Constraints' drop down menu, use the 'Parent' constraint to have the control handle control the joint (select the handle, then the joint, then select 'Parent' constraint). You'll see your joint(s) turn purple when properly constrained...move your handle and the joint will move too. You… -
Re: Maya probleme with pivots
Since the hair object is parented to the head joint, and I assume the control curve for the hair is not parented to the head joint, the hair object and control curve are in different coordinate spaces. When you freeze the transforms of an object in Maya, it will only freeze the object to whatever space it is in. If you… -

Re: Maya: Keeping object name when combining
You can do it with a script like this one. To give it a spin, select all meshes in order and run the script. The first object will be the name for the final combined mesh. int $keepHistory = false;string $selection[] = `ls -sl -l -tr`;string $shortNames[] = `ls -sl -sn -tr`;string $parents[] = `listRelatives -p -f… -
Re: Supreme Court ruling on "violent" video games...
I was carded when I bought Alan Wake, a "T" rated game, at Target. The guy at the counter said "I HAVE to card you, even though it's not even an "M" rated game, which makes no sense, but I hope you don't mind". I really don't mind. Carding people, and only selling games to people of appropriate age, I am for. Censoring… -
Re: Making games is murder these days
[ QUOTE ] So are you going to initiate a task force that will go to every single parent's door and ask them those questions, and then follow up later and see their progress? That's not much of a real world solution, although I agree that many parents should take a lot more responsibility than they do. [/ QUOTE ] Hm. How…
