Updated the hos_SplitEXR script to version 1.2. This version should have the ’attempt to index global ‘tool’ (a nil value)’ error fixed. I still have no idea why this seemingly random error occurred, but adding the extra TOOLST_Clip_FormatName check seems to have fixed it (at least i can’t reproduce it anymore as i could before.)…
Here’s an update to the incremental save script, for some reason the pattern matching function returned a nil value when a certain file name used (for example ‘vfx_shot_01_31-448.comp’ would break the gsub function somehow.) So, as for changes made in this version : Changed the incremental save file pattern matching. visit the original post for…
Here’s another small function that i missed from my experience with Lightwave, it’s a script that allows you to shift the Hue, Saturation and Values of all color keys on the selected ramp node. It has it’s own interface and i had to rewrite the RGB to HSV and the HSV to RGB code as…
Here’s a small function that inverts all the key positions on the selected ramp, a small feature i missed from Lightwave and wanted to bring to Maya. download : hos_invertRampPostions_v1.0.zip
Here’s a small replacement for the default <CTRL> + <r> Create Reference command hot-key that adds some extra functionality. This little function is actually quite simple, but allows one hot-key to do two things. First, if nothing or a non referenced node is selected, the hot-key will simply function as Create Reference always did. However,…
Ever work with lots of references in a scene and you keep opening new instances of Maya to tweak a referenced file as a workaround trying to avoid using the save reference edits because of the (well justified) fear of wrecking a perfectly good referenced asset? Well, no more, here’s a way to add a new…
Hi folks, here’s a cleaned up and GUI-ed script that creates a Loader for each Layer in the PSD file and then merges these together or places each of the layers on an individual 3D Image Plane. Here’s a small video explaining the script, sorry for the clickety-clicks in the audio track, i have no…
Updated the script to incorporate some features and fixes that where suggested by Stefan from südlich-t. Added mapping of XYZ channel names to RGB. Added a GUI with the placement option that handles the placement of split loaders (have not figure out how to grab these options from the user preferences yet.) I will add…
For the Klik! Amsterdam Animation Festival 2009 we created a leader. Live action footage was shot on the Red One, modeling was done with Maya and 3D Coat’s incredible retopo toolset, rendering in Mental Ray, compositing in Fusion and editing in SpeedEdit. Many thanks of course to all the folks who worked on this project,…
