It's been a while since I posted updates here, but this is a big one, excited to share! Since last post BroDynamics had a few major improvements - new simulation modes, new custom physics engine and UI updates. It now has the ability to simulate springy motion on any attribute, supports collisions with deformable meshes,…
BroDynamics got new simulation mode! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fbL6K1rNaZ4 And better animation looping support https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dgz8enARLAQ
Unfortunately no, it is using Maya's built-in simulation tools just in a much more convenient and intuitive for an animator way, allowing to skip a lot of steps of the setup process. And 3ds max just does not have anything similar to nHair for rope\hair\spline physics simulation. It might be possible to achieve something…
Yes, it is based on nHair, which is only available in Maya. But you can simulate animation in Maya and bring it into MotionBuilder, you can even achieve a robust workflow using dynamic link between two programs. I'm sorry, there is no trial, though I did not hear any complaints from customers yet, except for it's…
Hello, guys! Check out the tool I made, and tell me what you think. It is script for Autodesk Maya, that can help you easily create secondary motion\spring dynamics simulation without breaking rigs and without the need to actually add anything to the rig itself. It will bake it to controls, so you can fine-tune it by hand,…
Thanks! I tested it with Maya 2015 and 2016. Mostly I work with 2016 now. But it should work with Maya 2014 and probably earlier versions too. Which version are you interesting in? Yes, it is released on Gumroad, the link is in the first message. You probably missed it, so I edited that post to make the link stand out a…
Haven't bought & watched this myself, but this Disney/EA guy has a 15min tut out that claims to explain how to obfuscate a Maya Python API plugin. Feels a bit weird they're asking $15 for such a short thing, but might be worth checking out: http://www.cgcircuit.com/course/lock-your-python-code
