Re: misc. maxscript UV scripts/tools
will have a look regarding the undo stuff any suggestions for that? - another input box would not be so nice, maybe a micro button mode toggle? or the right click for a scale mode (1x,4x,8x). I have read somewhere that the scrollwheel can be accessed in maxscript using dotNet maybe that might give interesting options.… -
Re: The romance of 'Next-Gen': Where is it?
It's always the opposite here. If there is demand for it, then it's going to be a lot harder to find it stocked in a store, and they're going to be selling for more because people are literally lined up to buy it. It's not just devout fanboys willing to shell out for it when the hype is in full throttle, it's everyone. A… -
Re: UV Mapping/Topology Question
Most of the time, I use UV shells for quick masking in substance painter. Say the front side of the upper part of the chair is to be fabric, then the back piece is plastic or wood, and so on. If you make each of these into separate shells, you can apply your materials very easily. You just use a fill layer per UV shell. I… -
Re: Shader Discussions and shenanigans
Have you tried implementing a BRDF? That should be able to give you PP anistropy, if done right, good for micro-cylinder hair lighting. http://boards.polycount.net/showflat.php?Cat=0&Number=121008&an=&page=0&vc=1 We have a couple controls for it, but it hasn't been on the front burner so it isn't working in our runtime… -
Re: Best techniques for packing UVs
I've noticed everyone seems to have their own unique, although similar, way of approaching UV mapping. I use Maya to unwrap. Here are my steps: * Planar project each part that I want to be a UV shell * Cut the appropriate seams to allow them to lay out flat. * Unfold shell; repeat until all shells are flattened * Layout… -
Re: Trying to create a blister pack effect
It's unlikely you'll get a shader that just "works", because something like this is usually quite dependent on the underlying meshes. But you never know it might happen. Anyhow in your example, is the packaged object the whole blue shape? It looks like you're not using a separate mesh "shell" for your blisterpack, but you… -
Re: Just a little rant about software installation!
Maybe because when you make a piece of software, it's highly likely the majority of the installers will be Americans? I personally enjoy having USA as the default or first option, and I'm pretty sure the rest of the US does as well. If you don't like it, swell your country to the same size, and I'm sure it will get listed… -
Re: Need your input...Mouse Button Short Cuts for Max
There is a software developer on board and he is indeed making customizable macros possible. Initially it was WoW that got us going. And personally the official WoW MMO mouse is a piece of crap we feel. Hold in a button and it sticks, really chincy. It will come in two flavors, we are partnering with OpenOffice and it'll… -
Re: The Heart Game
Quite a few things have happened since the last update. First off, I just wanted to say that I have the aspen tree inside of the game now and there are new game builds available for download in the Download section of the first post if anyone is interested in seeing it in the game. There are also some screenshots of how it… -
Re: PlanetSide 2 PlayerStudio
i've been making player studio stuff for planet side since it started. its a way to make a little bit of cash ,not even a fraction of what i hear the dota an tf2 folk are making, but its a lower bar and higher chance of acceptance. Its not super fulfilling artistically since you can not bake normal's or even really texture…
