2020 Edit: The latest version of this can be found in the GitHub repo – the actual .py linked to here is older and quite a bit slower, though it’ll still work. I haven’t posted in a while! I’ve updated the Point Cloud Export script, which kicks point clouds generated in Nuke into a .csv… Continue reading Point Cloud Export Script Updated

Converting Assets from Max VRay to Maya VRay
We’re producing a film at work in Maya, rather than our normal 3ds Max. We’re trying to get a *ton* of assets from Max Vray over to Maya Vray and it’s proving to be difficult! More so than you’d think. We’re using .vrscene’s to get the shaders over, but the mesh doesn’t come in as… Continue reading Converting Assets from Max VRay to Maya VRay
New Version of the Point Cloud Script
I’ve just updated the Point Cloud to Max script, based on some feedback (ie a bug!!) 2020 Edit: Link to the file has been removed as it’s old and crap. Get the latest version here instead. Please download and enjoy 🙂 Dan
Nuke PointCloud to Max Python Script
Here it is: Click here to download! It should be pretty self explanatory – select a relevant BakedPointCloud node, run the script, tell it where to save the .csv file and you’re good to go. You’ll then have a .csv file that can be loaded into Max using Thinkbox/Krakatoa’s PRT Loader, and it’ll store all… Continue reading Nuke PointCloud to Max Python Script
Some Progress!
Well, I’ve made some progress of sorts. In my last post I mentioned wanting to get a point cloud from NukeX (generated from a camera track) into Max’s new(ish) point cloud system. Well, the good news is that I’ve not got the point cloud – including colour data – from Nuke and into Max. The… Continue reading Some Progress!
Python Adventure
My Raspberry Pi arrives tomorrow, and I have my book all about coding in Python which I’ve started to read through. I also started looking at the Max SDK documentation for the Python stuff – It’s going to be a long road, but I’m excited about it! I have a MxS currently that remaps assets… Continue reading Python Adventure
Rasberry Pi and Python fun!
I’ve been so, so lazy about learning Python. I’ve long since wanted to actually write standalone or web apps (And we have a WAMP stack running in the cloud courtesy of Amazon, so there’s definitely somewhere to use it – in fact, I know exactly what I want to do with it!) but I’m starting… Continue reading Rasberry Pi and Python fun!
