Re: Input slider limits in Maya 2017
hum. Have you rebooted yet? The new features highlight is on by default, but toggling it off and then on does stick? You could rename the whole 2017 folder, Maya will recreate it back to essentially a factory reset. I'm super tired and troubleshooting 5 different things right now. I've got that "It's on the tip of my… -
Re: Results of 3ds Max platform survey
Interesting that this is mentioned right after Autodesk announced the OS X version of a certain other fairly popular piece of design software :p (which looks awesome I might add, a lovely interface update to software that badly needed an interface update)z You can add me to your list of would be switchers. 3DS Max needs to… -
Re: Modelling for CG Films?
Your probably not going to find that kind of stuff as characters or super complex stuff usually gets the spotlight. Although, you may be able to find some sci-fi vehicles on google images. Either that or go to Autodesk Area website http://area.autodesk.com/inhouse/custstories they have all sorts of stories, some from the… -
Re: Max 2015 Issues
Yes, spacefrog is right, you need to edit your 3dsmax.ini file to fix this, or rather revert back to the old navigation system. I think the Adaptive Navigation system is autodesk's new way of handling things so this option to revert back might stop working in newer versions when they fully switch over. Then they MIGHT get… -
Re: Is there a noob section here?
I used: F1. Max Main Menu > Help > Tutorials. Google. I really don't see a need for formal training unless you have money to burn, often the teachers are just as clueless as the students and just follow a tutorial they found or go right out of the help docs autodesk provides. I think the ability to find information distill… -
Re: Quick texture seam cleanup in 3DS Max?
it is funky in TexTools and more a hack of things- if you have max 2010+ there should be a seam painting tool in the texture rendering tools or so (used to be polyboost) Viewport Canvas Start painting. Click 2D View… -
Re: Maya MEL how to put name into fileDialog2 options box when the window opens.
Its probably easier to store the last export directory (either as a custom attribute on the mesh or in a variable. Depends how you want to handle different maya sessions) and then use that to generate the directory path. EDIT: You can query it with $currentDir = `optionVar -q $gDirRetainingOptionVar`; That will get you the… -
Re: Each indie game dev role's Tools Cost
I bought Zbrush when it was $200 or something. While it's cool and a great tool I accustomed for, right now I would rather buy and use 3d coat. Prefer it over Substances too, easier and more convenient imo. Also I know 3d max pretty well but prefer Blender to model anything, too bad it still can't export things well… -
Re: Good character modelling tutorials (that isn't Zbrush-based) ?
On the topic of Japanese dev: I think it does matter HOW they do it though. IF I know how they do it in another tool, I can at least try to emulate that in Maya. All I am saying is, I am nowhere as good as being able to stare at great models and get to 80% good. Thus my quest to find some tutorials :smile: (PS: I know… -
Re: [Maya] - 2016 texture node bug
Well, found the issue by doing a list and get Attr of both texture nodes and diffing the results. There are 2 attributes that need to be set to make the colors match: node.colorManagementEnabled == True node.workingSpace == 'scene-linear Rec 709/sRGB' In older versions of Maya, those attributes were set to False and an…
