Hi, Does anyone know how to query Maya if normals are locked? The manual way to do it is go to display/polygons/vert normals and it will display yellow lines if the normals are locked. But is there a way to do this trough scripting? Preferably with Pymel or OpenMaya.
Nice going, I like what you've got so far :) Regarding the cliff-wall to the left, that's a tricky area. There are several ways you can go about it, my suggestion would be blending terrain with rocky cliffs. And also maybe use a "forest" mask on the actual cliff. So that when you get into creating all the trees and bushes…
A fine cock indeed sir! All thats left is to model Link From Legend of Zelda,animate him beating his cock and then have many cocks from all around materialze and kill link. That would be cool
I wanted to make a pipe tool for ZBrush using a tri-part curve, but I've run into a problem. Even if I lock the start and end, they still rotate around freely. Is there some way to lock the orientation as well as position, so it always faces away from the surface?
Curious to see who else went to one of these showings. second time for me, but with some girl behind me screaming half the time and cramped seats I had trouble enjoying it. I prefer to go for the show not all the retarded comments and such which probably was the creation of some guy stoned.
Congrats on finishing your piece @Vastra ! While the visuals are not very 2025, there's a cohesion in the look that reminds me of PS3 graphics and it somehow works for me. I feel you could add geometry to the walls to attempt the "room carved into rock" look the concept has. I can see you tried something like that with the…
I'm having a go at the Dock art test from the Splash Damage website. Here some of what ive done so far. I decided to do a paintover texture of the Dock asset just to get it out of the way since texturing will be the most time consuming. Tell me what you think of this paintover. Also almost done with the hipoly mesh and…
guns are super complicated when you are trying to figure them out from photos... It all suddenly made sense to me as soon as I fired one. When you fire a round from a handgun the pin strikes the primer cap on the bullet casing and ignites the powder... the bullet fires out of the casing down the barrel... the barrel is…
Ok finally get to see this, nice work! Crits: - The 2nd smaller dock down by the boat, should be a floating dock. It rises and falls with the tide. The posts on the end aren't tie offs, they are long guides anchored to the sea floor. The dock slides up and down them. What looks like concrete blocks on the art test, are…
I have a question, I'm trying to dock the outliner panel in Maya; most of the syntax I find online mention; outlinerWindow, but the docs only mention outlinerEditor & outlinerPanel which do I use when it comes to docking a panel ? Please don't direct me to a page with code for any MEL or Python questions I have now or in…
