Modifier Auto-Select

Posted by Mat on Feb 27, 2010 | 0 comments

Current Version: v2.02 – Feburary 28, 2010

This is a tool I put together because sometimes you have to work with modifiers on multiple nodes and the modifiers aren’t at the very top of the stack. You’re constantly having to select the node and then selecting the proper modifier. Prime example of this is when you have a turbosmooths on top of all of your geometry while you are either skinning or modelling. It would be much easier, and save quite a bit of time, if every time you selected a node you just automatically were on the skin modifier or edit poly modifier.

I have added the tools section now and I will gradually add tools over time. They are going to be released as individual MZP installer packages.

Sticky Lips

A few weeks ago I decided I wanted to take a stab at creating the “Sticky Lips” effect.  I saw a few tutorials out there, but they were only for Maya and didn’t translate too well to 3DS Max.  I decided to play around a bit and try to come up with a method for Max on my own.

Rigging TD Demo Reel

Posted by Mat on Jun 3, 2009 | 0 comments

I had to put together a character TD reel on short notice for Frantic Films back in January. The turnaround time was about 4 days. I feel I have a lot more I can show already today, but I decided I would post this anyways since it has been a loooong time since my last reel and I currently have nothing on here showcasing rigging!
