Moving into production

Aside from placeholders i put together a MEL script to help put out world and local co ordinates to a text file that programmers could then use to place objects in-game.

(A real help for environment artists placing building "Gore RIG" components)

$coordinateDump = ( `internalVar -userWorkspaceDir` + "dump.txt" );
$fileId=`fopen $coordinateDump "w"`;
{
string $objects[] = `ls -sl`;

for ($item in $objects)
{


if(endsWith($item, "_G"))
{
select -r $item;
float $XYZ[] = `objectCenter -gl`;

fprint $fileId ($item + " ");
fprint $fileId ("[" + $XYZ[0] + ", ");
fprint $fileId ($XYZ[1] + ", ");
fprint $fileId ($XYZ[2] + "]");
fprint $fileId ("\r\n");
}
else
{
select -r $item;
float $XYZ[] = `objectCenter -gl`;

fprint $fileId (":");
fprint $fileId ($item + " ");
fprint $fileId ("[" + $XYZ[0] + ", ");
fprint $fileId ($XYZ[1] + ", ");
fprint $fileId ($XYZ[2] + "]");
fprint $fileId ("\r\n");
}

}
}

fclose $fileId;

MAGIC!@#!?@#

I also moved on to some highpoly work, to get ready to cage and bake for a character




to the moon~!

  1. Nice detail. This game looks as if the art will be top notch :). I don't have any idea as to what the game is, but at least the art will be good.
