    • RE: [Plugin] Material Browser - v1.0.9 - 12 July 2021

      Is it possible to create a custom filter? I'm doing work for a client that has unique filters for different material types. I have the material library created (over 200 materials) but would like to filter it for specifics like "wall covering", tile wall, tile floor, fabric, concrete, plastic, window film, etc.

      I want to hand this to the team with the filters the other designers uses and not these defaults.

    • RE: GE Optimization?

      I can't agree more with the comments above. Since .png are a lossless format, file sizes tend to be larger. Try to limit texture widths to 500 pixels. GE will crunch alot of this info anyway to make the filesize smaller.

      What I was trying to get across in my image is that you dont have to model between the steel beams:the cutout. This will save time and polygons. Also .png's are great for signage. check out the logo for the fedex forum.

    • RE: Image Transparencies

      In Layout I dont beleive you can. I suggest you change the opacity in photoshop and save it as a .png.

    • RE: Object scale

      yep, just remember to be 'inside' the group your want scaled otherwise it'll resize the entire model. if you want say 5 grouped objects to all be scaled, just group them, enter inside and scale. explode then to get it back to your 5 groups.

    • RE: Shortcuts

      Yeah, i think pen and paper are you best bet to track them. In any case here are some shortcuts I use a a lot that may be helpful.

      h = hide (i dont need the pan shortcut since im using a mouse)
      u = unhide all (makes it easy to hide and unhide groups to see inside stuff rather then dealing with layers)
      ctl+H = hide rest of model (this is great when dealing with detail and wanting to hide everything outside of the active group or component.
      w = texture position (if you use textures a lot and modify them i suggest you add this, saves a lot of time over right click>texture>position)
      d=display edges on/off (helpful for ge models, turn off before you submit to 3d warehouse or to ge.)

      In any case, try to keeps all your shortcuts on the left side of the keyboard (asdf) so you don't have to take your hand off the mouse when orbiting or panning.

      also, remember that the spacebar acts as the select tool (very useful in getting out of a tool)

      I'm thinking of switching move and pushpull to C and V since they are used so frequently but i haven't made the switch yet.
