Enjoy greater flexibility when finishing renderings in Photoshop software, with the new ability to output renderings in a layered PSD format that retains layer order, opacity, and blend modes. Render Pass System. Scenes can now be more easily segmented for downstream compositing.
Thanks to an entirely new render pass system, render elements can now be more efficiently created for Smoke , After Effects, Photoshop, or certain other image compositing applications.
Slate Compositing Editor. Perform simple compositing operations directly within 3ds Max with the new Slate Compositing Editor. The schematic node-based interface enables rendered layers and passes to be more easily wired together and combined with compositing nodes, for example: blends and color corrections; the resulting composite can then be sent to After Effects or Photoshop for further refinement.
ActiveShade interactive iray rendering. Experience an interactive creative process for finalizing renderings, with new ActiveShade support for the Nvidia iray renderer. ActiveShade enables artists to iterate more effectively by providing an interactive rendering session that constantly updates as changes are made to cameras, lighting, materials, and geometry.
By shortening the feedback loop, artists can more efficiently fine-tune their scene, making it faster and easier to achieve their intended look. MassFX enhancements. Artists can now enjoy a more integrated and accurate dynamic toolset, thanks to a wide range of enhancements and additions to the MassFX unified system of simulation solvers.
Highlights are a new mCloth module that features tearable fabric and support for dynamic ragdoll hierarchies. In addition, improved constraints, better handling of pivot points, and enhanced UI readability help improve overall workflow.
Focus on workflow. Tabbed layouts. Easily create and switch between a number of viewport layout configurations, in order to have efficient access to the views required for a particular task. Layouts can include both 3D and extended viewports. Customisable workspaces.
Artists can now adapt 3ds Max to their personal way of working by selecting from a choice of default or custom workspaces. So much of the " mocap is the devil" attitude comes from all the poor planing, misunderstanding and overall attitude of "this will save so much time and money.. And this is a great segue for the contest Rigging Dojo is running this coming week.. Teach to win Novmber contest! Do you have something to share, a tip or trick or a great example from your latest work you want to talk about?
We want to see it! You can post the link here on our wall, or tweet it on twitter, including the rigTip riggingdojo tags. The most helpful or interesting example will win a "Personal Rig Review" or a "Half hour live QA" from one of our Mentors,the winner will be announced the following week. Open to all All skill levels.
The contest will run for this week November 13th. Good Luck everyone, have fun! Labels: animation , animators , MotionBuilder , planing , preproducion. Between running Rigging Dojo and other things I have been trying to checking in with the questions being posted on various forums for MotionBuilder. So here is a quick compilation of answers to issues that have been showing up.. How to limit constraint effect across multiple takes?
Then select the constraint only in the navigator and change the take setting form normal to multi take, so that its settings save per take. How can I rotate my Animation with out having to us story or other hacks? Use the move keys tool. First hit the unpin all button, rotate your character to the new direction, but instead of adding an animation layer, just select all the keyframes in the timeline and hit the move keys button.
It will update the translation keys based on the rotation allowing you to redirect the character. How can I update geometry and skeleton in MoBu? How do I retarget prop animation or motion capture data in MotionBuilder? It just depends on how your trying to retarget the data, Props require a mix of custom rigging and offseting, most of the time I can just do it with basic constraints. This is because the skeleton is missing a top node above the root, it can be a null or anything above root.
If I have a set of animation files,Is there an easy way I can characterize these animations without going in each file, and still preserving the file name? You only need to characterize the skeleton once.. FBX file name and that should work. Takes — Merging key data between takes The fastest way to do combine or put two animations that live in separate Takes together on one take The other option is to select the animated object and then select the range of keyframes to then copy and paste, in the main timeline.
Labels: motionbuilder free tutorial , tip. MoBu script: additive animation. MoBu script: additive animation If your not following Neills blog, you should be and check out this fantastic script. There have been many times on game projects I have needed or wanted to do this very thing but had workarounds to do it His site is a gold mine for Mobu and programing, check it out.
MOBU: Retriving cluster shapes from character face? Check the thread out. Check out the rest of Dave Girards blog as there are some nice Maya hacks as well as other goodies. LightWave and FBX. This should help clear up any confusion over the names and systems that are in MotionBuilder and Maya right now, Great post with lots of good video examples.
MotionBuilder motion capture samples A set of moves that are worth having for testing and training reasons.
Mobu Python - Scripts. You can also login and get free motions to test with, their site is a great concept and is really a great resource for game developers and others that don't have a full motioncapture team. Introducing PyMoBu 0. I have not had a chance to try this out but I hope it can get support as any effort like this.
Here is the quote from the article " Hello fellow MotionBuilder users! I have been working on a project for a little while and I wanted to share it with the MotionBuilder community for contribution and feedback. The name of the project is PyMoBu. It is a python enhancement for MotionBuilder.
It is essentially a Python wrapper for a few areas in MotionBuilder at the moment. Using this Python module allows you to have many new features and functions that work with FB components. For example you now have a much more user friendly way to list properties with different options, individual constraint classes with personalized methods, listing objects based on a variety of parameters, a complete vector and matrix math method additions and much more! Instructions are also in the zip file but basically it is like any other python module, you simple put in in the Python PATH that MotionBuilder can find and import it in.
Currently I have only tested this in MotionBuilder It will NOT work in previous versions unfortunately. So please let me know if you get an error and put in an issue report on the google page so I can keep track of the bugs. A few bugs may still exist so this is mostly a testing and proof of concept stage that I hope will inspire some good ideas and additions as more areas are added.
This is only the beginning and has a lot of room to grow. Please leave any questions or comments here. I appreciate any feedback and ideas. If you would like to contribute your code, we can talk about becoming a member of the project as I would like to have the community help out and keep this project growing.
Thank you for taking a look and I hope that it will benefit the community in some way. Scott Englert. EBook Now Avaible. This is an updated tutorial book with over pages of information, tips, tricks, step by step tutorials and screenshot breakouts from the videos. Labels: ebook. Older Posts Home.
