Re: Maxscript #Noprompt loop trouble
I found a crappy workaround for this problem So what i'm doing now is running a vbs script that focuses my screen and sends a space command. Maxscript ( vbran = false fn confirmObjImport = ( local HWND = dialogMonitorOps.getWindowHandle() if ((uiAccessor.getWindowText HWND) == "OBJ Import Options" ) do ( print "Import… -
Re: Another max script problem - array & external file
Thanks for your help earlier, I've got this so far: fn getNumbers =( local listArray = #() fileS = openFile "C:\\numbers.txt" mode:"r" while not eof fileS do ( lineInfo = readLine fileS append listArray lineInfo ) close fileS for i in listArray.count do ( print i )) My only problem is that my last for loop doesn't work. If… -
Re: Maxscript: working with skinning
wooaahh ok, I commented all the "unecessary stuff" meaning I only had the setvertexweight line and as I predicted it didnt work correctly however the replacevertexweight worked fine. I'm damn sure I tested this command tho yesterday without any probing results. strange, I guess I was either too tired or I fucked up… -
Re: Any way to "bake" 3dsmax´s CAT Animation Layers?
hey specter i had your problem a while ago, there are tutorials i believe on the autodesk area site for cat which explain just this. what your looking for is global weighting which you need to keyframe NOTE: local weighting allows you to define the weights of a layer on specific bones it helps to enable layer rig coloring… -
Re: 3DS Max (below 2012) - Relax/Unwrap solution?
Blender has an unwrap tool that does pretty much the same thing but without a delay. I'm not sure how it works to be perfectly honest, but here's the workflow: Select object, hit tab to go into edit mode Ctrl tab, select edges mode Shift and right click to select edges Ctrl-E, mark seam Ctrl tab, select faces mode A to… -
Re: standalone animation software for games question
Standalone? Autodesk MotionBuilder. It would be best to explain your reasons for wanting a standalone application, this is always a good thing to do when asking a question like this because its likely that people have been down this path before and might be able to share insight that they might not otherwise share. Reason… -
Re: Modeling Tool?
If you want free, than Blender 3D or Wings 3D. They don't cost anything to use or try, so download them both and give them a whirl. Whichever one integrates better into your workflow and gives you the results you want is the one you ought to use. As to paid modelers, I'm not quite certain. 3DS Max is still considered one… -
Re: Maya LT vs. Blender (and some other questions too)
Well, I came across this on the autodesk site. It compares the features between Maya and Maya LT. So there appears to be a lot of similarities between the products. Maya LT has none of the dynamic & effects and it lacks a good amount of the rendering options of the full version as well as a few other random things. I am… -
Re: Baking texutres using multiple UV channels
Using a M/S-O material with 5 material IDs is generally a bad idea for an in-game asset. This causes a lot of state changes when the model is rendered in the game, a lot of texture fetches, and a lot of draw calls. Generally a bad idea. But like anything there are exceptions. Is your asset really worth it? RTT doesn't work… -
Re: Ultimate tool - a call for UI coders
People could also plop down at any machine and have all their buttons without having to mess with the defaults. I've been training a few people to do some simple animation and the crazy crap people bind... yeash... It could make the yearly update of autodesk apps somewhat more bearable without having to re-gigger the UI…
