Re: Looking for a Level Designer to talk to!
Programming, no. Scripting, yes. Generally a level designer won't work alone, but usually with an artist and a programmer. The level designer should be familiar with any physics, basic animation for moving parts, and dirty scripting to be able to get the level to a playable state, entirely in graybox. That's the important… -
Re: Projection painter?
Polyboost has projection-paint, too. Never tried it so far, though. Seems limited to viewport resolution and quite basic alltogether. But worth a try perhaps. As a sidenote I started to write a projection-paint script for max last year.(Similar to Zapplink ). Unfortunately the emphasis lies on started. I have hardly any… -
MaxScript - Projections?
So I was trying to see if I can distort some geometry using some sort of equation using max script. Spherical projections would work for nearly every type of geometry so I tried using Stereographic Projection. And emulated the equation in max script. rollout projectRollout "Project"( button projectbtn "Project" on… -
Re: Smoothing groups from max to zbrush

Re: Veterans and Aspiring: What does your dream Game Art degree look like?

In addition, reviews and accountability need… -
Mudbox user has Zbrush questions
Not a "VS" thread. Hey Guys, Sorry for all the text ;) I am giving Zbrush another try. I started out using Zbrush but then switched to Mudbox early on. I have been using mudbox ever since for personal projects and professional work. I do try to come back to Zbrush every now and then to see what has changed. I've been… -
Re: Medieval Fantasy Thrive More Upon Quality, Quantity or Story Line
I'm honestly tired of the emphasis of pre-written 'story lines' for players to filter through. If I wanted a scripted story line I'd watch a movie or read a book where I can get a concise and precisely directed experience, not the bastardized interpretation of narrative that comes from hashing together dialogue trees in a… -
Re: Daves Maya Qstns- (another one of "those"threads)
*Append Poly is your Maya connect. Now that they've got the loop and ring stuff in there you shouldn't need MJ Poly Tools at all. Probably *I'm fairly sure you're stuck with Maya's navigation. You'll get used to it pretty quickly, its not that different. *I haven't used silo, but you can highlight different kinds of… -
Re: 3dsMax perspective view when rotating from orthoraphic
Yea what I think is happening there is the rotation is continuing on from the ortho to perspective view without resetting in between, as a result it's losing the point of focus and getting confused. There's two way to deal with this: Either temporarily pause and resume user input during the frame it switches over from… -
Re: multi threading with python in 3ds Max
@RN that's a interesting approach. def will remember that. I had considered doing this for 1 dense mesh with laods of verts, but didn't thought you could use it to create new meshes atm I managed to get "multithreading" to work between several max instances. so every max instance on its own isn't multithreaded. But they…
