Hey all ! :) Was cleaning up some code on my 2017-2018 codebase and stumbled upon this old piece of work that i did for PolygonFlow's first iteration last year; a basic licensing function that worked with Gumroad license keys. <code>urllib2 def gumroadLicenseChecker(license_key, user_email, check="true",…
Hello ! :) I'm trying to get the Camera's name of an active View ( like "persp" or "Camera5" ). string $activeView = `getPanel -withFocus`; string $camName = `modelPanel -q -cam $activeView`; print $camName; So far, it works well. But I would like to detect if the focused panel have a working camera, and if not, get the…
Here is a bit of an explanation about how you would do the hard blend with the vertex colors. There are other techniques as well, but their one is likely this. I mentioned that "if" thing, that gives you the fully hard alpha, so its actually very simple. This is what your if would do: A= height A B= height B A>B = 0 A>=B =…
This seems to be happening to polycounters alot this week :P A good studio doesn't have to worry about locking in a candidate cuz their offer sells itself. I was offered a job in vancoubver (company A) last year in April. I accepted the offer and then; while on vacation I was offered an interview here in California…
I'm on Maya 2022.1, and the MtoA Arnold Integration. I was working in the hypershade window and toggling between Arnold and the other rendering engines, and I got an error: // Warning: [gpu] device 1 is out of range // I did a google search to figure out what it means but there are no results with that specific error. I…
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WE3_pqw-KNU&t=2s Hi everyone, I’ve been working on Hairflow, a specialized 2D tool designed to bridge the gap between sculpting high-fidelity hair and the tedious process of creating hair card textures for real-time engines. The philosophy is simple: Groom in 2D on a flat canvas, and bake…
Like said, it depends, especially for the chamfers. Do you need cuts for normal maps because of hard edges? What's more visible? How much distortion and size scale changes are you willing to deal with? Personally, I'd probably do something like this: "a" can be straightened out without any distortion, the inner and outer…
Hello everyone, I’d like to share my first independent project: a detailed 3D model of the Grand 850 rigid-inflatable boat (RIB). Since I am still a beginner in 3D modeling, this was a massive learning experience for me. My primary objective for this project was to achieve accurate hard-surface geometry representation,…
Hello everyone, I’m a beginner C++ programmer and Unreal Engine user looking for a project I could believe in and in which to hone our skills together. To put this in perspective, I’ve tried this as an hobby in the past but it never panned out, so that little skills I might have acquired then is now long gone and…
