Later on I discovered some other option under the atmosphere editor menu, activating global radiosity gives a new fell to the renders. I´m using Vue 7, I think there´s not radiosity on earlier versions.

I can’t see the renders, is there problem with my connection or attachment, would you please send’em again or give a link instead 😉

I know that Vue Xstream is coming with a plug-in that helps integration with Max (it also gives chance to use Vue’s render engine in Max). But I haven’t had a chance to try it yet.

So, no I haven’t used any plug-in. I’ve created the plants in Vue and exported them via standard Vue export tools with maps & UVW Coordinates. These tools…[Read more]

I just like messing with it.

Are the 3d and 4th using the vue/3d max plug in? I haven’t really gone into it that far yet but it seems good.

Good interface with Max and is import/export.

I might have to take a training course though. We will see.

Also started playing with Maya’s MEL scripting. I got a book called “MEL Scripting for Animators” which is really good so far but slow to get through.

The outcome worked ok, but wasn’t very pretty. The process went like this:

1. Wrote script to randomly generate terrain in Maya.
2. Made a post and cloned it, then used the vortex dynamic to blow them around the terrain.
3. Created a ncloth from a nurbs plane and…[Read more]

I have been looking at the use of Maya Dynamics to force design.

It is kind of fun but I don’t know if it will go anywhere. Has anyone used
any of the dynamic functions in Maya (Airfield, Gravity, Newtonian field etc)?

They basically interpolate contours a couple of different ways.

The first one works on contour lines and the second on elevation points. I made a third for roads but I am not sure about it…[Read more]
