Whenever I finish a project and want to archive it away, I will convert my high res obj files to ctm format with openCTM, it makes the files almost 100 times smaller in some cases, and Xnormal can read these directly if something needed to be baked again. OpenCTM has a command line converter which is easy enough to use and…
Thanks Demilich! Tell your friends to get OMD! :) I didn't create the iPhysique.gup, I was just using it. Unfortunately, I don't have the source code to re-compile it. You can use the FBX method you talked about. When you import the FBX, use the SkinUtilities to Extract the Skin Data Mesh, then use the Skin Data Mesh to…
The array modifier behaves strangely after I close and reopen the 3dsmax file. It seems like transformations are changed and the array modifier gets confused. Arrays are rotated etc. If I make an instance copy and realign that to the viewport and remove and re-add the array modifier it works again. But only until I reload…

I'm trying...well wanting to build a VRaymtl with all of the…
well i'd think with magnetic sensors, you'd deploy magnetic shielding, to minimize the magnetic sensors from detecting your vehicle, either in a passive or active array. i'd suggest putting glass orbs, or something like that at the end of some of the "whiskers". (which would be attached by a wire through the turret, and…

Like Talon pointed out, you can use asset tracking to retarget paths "File > Manage > Asset Tracking, highlight the paths you want to retarget and click Paths > Set Path, browse to the path (you can also right click).
