Maintaining Texel Density Across Multiple Props - How To
The recent thread asking how to maintain texel density got me thinking, as many of the answers were needlessly complex or the opposite, i.e. just eyeball it. There is actually a fairly accurate and artist friendly way to match a specified texel density, so I thought I would take the time to explain the method as well as… -

2 Animations and a Plane texture
Besides the human study I've also been working on these 2 short little animations this week. It's nothing special, but I'd just like to share them. I'm starting to like animation. #1st Assignment: Pixar Animation Appearantly the guys over at Pixar are given 1 week for 1 second of animation for their feature film projects.… -
Re: Maya 2009: A Better Hotkey Editor?
Here ya go. It'll take the last command that Maya placed in the Recent Command List and let you assign a hotkey to it (via pressing enter/return in the textfield). The top menu bar text will let you know what that command is called before you assign a key, and a warning will pop up if you try to overwrite an existing… -
Re: Vertex Normals - Maya 2013 issue
Well this is a default property of Maya (one which seemed quite frustrating to me at the beginning). If you apply a different material to an object (which is obviously different than the default material which maya provides) and then, you extrude some part of that object, Maya does not automatically extend your new… -
Re: [maya] Get material order from mesh
It's been a while since I have used Unity, but do recall having to deal with material order since Unity assigns them to the mesh based of lowest face index value per assigned material in Maya. Something easy to do is gather all the material assignments and sort them by lowest face index. In this case, I took a 50k sphere… -
Re: The Programming/Scripting MASTER THREAD
Depends on the scope where the variables are used, and the compiler used. Generally speaking, uninitialized variables that are used with no value will yield compiler errors but it's pretty possible that VC# auto-assigns default values to uninitialized variables. I know the Mono compiler from Unity does it for variables… -
Re: [Maya] Duplicated objects losing material connections
Interesting. So I just tried replicating your test in an empty Maya scene. I created 4 blinns and a plane. I assigned each blinn to face on the plane, then duplicated 4 times. I then manually deleted all the faces with one of the blinn assignments per duplicate as you show in your test. I then saved the scene, and… -
Re: 3ds Max attaching and detaching loses all materials
no color values were assigned...it was all pre-substance...those color values would arbitrarily change during my testing, sometimes, green, yellow or blue. -
Re: Answered: DDO - ID presets not loading
Yeah there's a max script that loads up a colour palette, that you assign to your model. The Swatch.fbx is another way of selecting and assigning colours. Any colours have been assigned. Still not working.
