I've written a new tool in Python for Autodesk Maya called Nightshade Blockout. This tool makes creating blockout/selection maps a piece of cake: http://www.creativecrash.com/maya/script/nightshade-blockout Features: -Easy to use, no-bullshit user-interface. -No need to clone your mesh(es) or use "Transfer Maps".…
I have a project at work for a health care company that requries using real-time 3D on the web. Basically, what they want is something akin to the character configuration system for games like Oblivion: various sliders modifying the mesh, texture and shader changes, etc. Ideally, it would allow me to simulate fat gain and…

Hello folks. New to the forum, pretty new to 3D in general. I've poked at 3D for the last couple years but didn't make a concerted effort to learn anything until a few months ago. I've used a few programs but I honestly find blender to have the most intuitive interface / workflow for me. I'm not completely sure what the…

Oh fo' sho'! We're not really trying to achieve high quality, super realistic renderings so I'm not too hung up on that so much. Maybe I'm a bit naive and I'm reading too much into what they have on their site, but when I see "....Create outstanding print- and presentation-quality 2D and 3D composites with a new…
