3ds max / Maya - Show window name in minimized mode
Hi guys, I had this issue for ages. You minimize a window in max - No text visible anymore. As soon as I had several windows open, it was a an anoying lottery. I don't know if this is the best solution, but I found a workaround on Autodesk forum yesterday. I just want to share it with you, as I found so many useful stuff… -
Re: Diablo 3
you say that... but we both know there are many, MANY games out there where normal is code for "tard mode", and hard/nightmare are the real normal/hard modes. why do you think metal gear solid had: easy (unlocked if you failed at normal) normal hard extreme european extreme (only available to europeans) because only… -
Re: D&D online. anyone played/playing it?
Yeah I'm sick of this too. I cant even create an account. In firefox I get an Invalid security text.. which i've done 30 times corerctly. And in IE I get invalid game code. Which I've done 3 times with different codes. Fuck this. It's not worth it. Edit: Note the link to create an account is wrong for the preview event on… -
Re: 3d max 2008 new features videos
I figured this would have been a good time for a code rebuild. 10th iteration, fresh start. But nope. We get the same shitty codebase, rehashed with old "new" features. I love my Max, but come on, Autodesk. Edit mesh is a huge lump in the app's throat, not to mention that the serious code side issues will more than likely… -
Help on Maxscript callback
Hi ! I'm trying to make a script that displays the drawcalls count of a selection. It only works on editable poly for now. I'm looping through the mesh to get all mat id. global winWidth = (gw.getWinSizeX() / 2 - 20) global drawcalls = "Drawcalls: " fn GW_displayDrawCalls evt nodes= ( fn getDrawCalls dc_selObj = (… -
Cartoon Fire shader?
Hey everyone! I've hit a dead end on my research into this so i'm reaching out to see if maybe someone can help. I'm trying to recreate this effect in Shader Forge in Unity. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WgLpyRVbJUE I'm working on a game that has a very painted/ stylized art and this fits way more than a realistic flame.… -
Looking for a post or blog about game environment construction notes by a studio
Google is letting me down, and I don't have this in my bookmarks, so I hope I can ask the community for help. Some racing game studio (Forza??) had a write-up on their production workflow, and they discussed things like taking lots of photos. The games are location based, all I can recall is Berlin. The write-up mentions… -
Curious about this note about confidentiality in an art test brief I received
Referring to the part about "we will reserve the rights to take further action", what can they do realistically? Keep in mind I was not shown a confidentiality agreement and I never signed anything. Is it an empty threat? The assignment btw was in no way tied to any specific IP either. The brief was very open-ended.… -
Re: Is there a efficient way to auto Unwrap Uvs by material ID?
i attached a quick Blenders geometry node example that packs all same mat ID UV islands in sort of automated style as rows. it uses material id index to shift UV in U direction each in 1 . So each UV islands having mat ID 1 shifts to 1 , islands with matID2 shifts to 2 etc. They all scales back to 0-1 in the end . I have 4… -
Re: When should you know that a mod idea is too big to be done?
I have a functional knowledge of UDK, and have done some levels on it however nothing with this scope. Good point about prototyping, I agree doing something ugly but functional is a definite first step. After all, all the art in the world and no code won't get you anywhere. I think the biggest thing I'm worried about is…
