just wondering if any of the more technical maya users, know if there is a way to pass on a variable from your python script to a function your accessing through the maya.mel.eval() method. haveing a problem with the "attributExists" mel function not being available in python, so im trying to get it doing something like.…
This question is actually composed of two options: 1. Is it possible to merge all the various object maps (of say the Albedo) into one map? 2. Is it possible to merge all an objects maps (Albedo, Gloss, Reflection etc.) into one map? I know in the second one it wouldn't really make much sense because I would lose the…
I'm re-reading MEG by Steve Alten at the moment. I had to start it again after the announcement that the film was coming next summer along with a revised version of the book this June. I guess Alten felt his writing had improved since 1997 and decided to spruce the original up a bit. After I finish MEG i'm onto The Loch,…
Hi Substance experts, I'm trying to pack separate greyscale channels into a single RGB or RGBA texture for export and use in UE4, but I've run into a little problem. I won't always have an emissive input to pack into the alpha channel depending on which asset is pumped through. Using the default RGBA Merge node, it won't…

i'm thinking fallout tactics plus space. you should make objects of x height which guys can support heavier weapons on also, animations for leaning around a corner and supporting weapon on the edge of the wall. i could see some really sick shit coming out of such a design. With a grid based environment you could quite…
Probably because it's literally set to "donothing" ? Try do -command "print 0" See if that does something. If it does then you probably just need to pass in a string that drives it all. It's been a long time since I touched mel so I can't help much more I'm afraid. But what you'd probably have to do, is register your…
So i take each part of the model and bake it, then i get the multiple files and merge them together (selecting alpha making a new layer and duplicating into a merge file), but when i do that i get horrible seams in the xoliul and 3point shader, but if i just use the original bake that has only one object on it it looks…
