Very impressed.
Will you be releasing any "tools" you used to do this or? I'm interested as I myself have just started messing around with 3dx max again
.
/Haz
in maya itself i dont use any plugins or tools just default maya
only tool i used is a custom coded imagecropper to get a small image from the 640X480 images that get rendered from maya (i dunnno what 3dmax outputs you can change tho)
if you make sure you render out images 640X480 you could be able to use that tool (the tool is based upon 640X480 images)
i mite aswell release it as it could be usefull to anybody working with the client images
keep inmind i wrote this program just to do the work for ME
so it could be difficult to understand for others, tho i will explain some features
also keep in mind that there are no complex error catchers in the code
so be gentle when working with it :P
Explain image:
ok when looking at the explain image above
the RED boxed controls will need no explaination i think
all boxed in green has to do with the autocrop functions
so to start using autocrop you will first need a folder structure
example: (create a folder called 'cropitem' , In there create 10 folders
called: 'Stand,Walk,Run,Hit,Hit1,Hit2,Spell,Harvest,Struck,Die' )
ok so then we need to open that item folder click ('Set Item Folder')
and direct it to the 'cropitem' folder when done correct the Directions should appear as in the image above
when you click on a movement the listview should show the contents of that folders dbl clicking them will open up the image in the imageview(.bmp only)
tho when autocrop (blueboxed) is turned on it will also crop the image
with the wanted size automaticly same as autosave will save it automaticly now if both autocrop and autosave are turned on you could use the 'Crop Current Direction Folder' and that will cropp all images in that folder, to use the custom Width , Height of the autocrop make sure
60x60,80x80,100x100 are all turned off to use the custom size (lightblueboxed)
i think that will explain it a bit to get you started :P
and i hope this is usefull to anybody also any suggestions or bugs plz tell me and ill change the code
ImageCropper
also if you like i could upload the max script to import WorldOfWarcraft models into your 3dsmax
tell me if youd like that
