Re: [3ds max] flow map creator script - problems
You could force the Camera perspective to 'Top' so the amount of 'shot' vertices would not be an issue, in some scripts, I noticed a nasty habit of Max shooting through the surface of the mesh and onto other assets in the scene. I remember some guy in Tech Talk topic (the pinned topic up top) made a Fracture/Vornoi scrip… -
Re: [3ds max] flow map creator script - problems
@renderjhs: you're absolutely right, which is why I decided to just go ahead and take some screens :) step 1: pick the object you wish to render your normals from: step 2: enable the comb Normals button. this disables buttons that would screw up vertex ID's and other script functions step 3: comb your normals! step 4:… -
Re: [3ds max] flow map creator script - problems
*bump* right, so I managed to make the painter interface work the way i wanted and originally intended it to, meaning, you can now create actual flow maps with my script, if you render to texture manually. the problem, though, is performance; around 2000 or so vertices, the script stops working entirely (at least,… -
[3ds max] flow map creator script - problems
hi everyone, I've been working on a water shader that has custom flows in it, and it seems that I am stuck at the flow maps. The thing is, I would like not to have to paint them in photoshop, but I would rather have something like Valve has; a plugin for your 3D software (in my case 3ds max) that allows you to sculpt… -
Re: [3ds max] flow map creator script - problems
@Xoliul: yes, I thought about that, and actually that was my first intention. The problem is not that it's not doable, because as you say I do indeed have the code for that (or at least most of it, since most of it is the same as the code needed for sculpting the normals.). the problem with that suggestion, is that it's… -
Re: [3ds max] flow map creator script - problems
This is awesome! Any news on the plug in/script? would come in extremely handy at the moment -
Re: [3ds max] flow map creator script - problems
I could ofcourse include that in the script, yes, but the idea is to be really able to "comb" the normals, mostly because that's just the most natural feeling way a flow map would be created imho :) -
Re: [3ds max] flow map creator script - problems
@xoliul: that would be great, I could finish this off with just scripting then ^^ I would very much like that, thanks! @computron: I don't know, but as Xoliul said, a live shader might solve the problem :) -
Re: [3ds max] flow map creator script - problems
i'll post what my script can do later today (i'm at work now, lunch break), but the plugin is still in the phase of "learning what the SDK can do" right now, so that'll probably take a while longer :p -
Re: [3ds max] flow map creator script - problems
Trying to wrap my head around how the artUserpaintContext works for Maya. Wish I could help on the Max side :( Maybe try and see if anyone has any scripts where they use a brush and hope its not encrypted? What Ben from tech-artists was talking about:…
