[QUOTE=leontodd;29186573]Do you know if this supports Maya 2012?[/QUOTE] No, not yet atleast. It needs to be recompiled to work on 2012
When I try to run this it just gives an error 'smash not found' or something.
[QUOTE=pal670;29189249]When I try to run this it just gives an error 'smash not found' or something.[/QUOTE] I get this too, seems the plugin doesn't load with this message: [code]// Error: The application has failed to start because its side-by-side configuration is incorrect. Please see the application event log or use the command-line sxstrace.exe tool for more detail.[/code]
[QUOTE=johan_sm;29169189]Poor dropouts who can't get a stud license.[/QUOTE] Wow, you're ignorant. You know, not everyone has access to a school that even uses 3D software for anything.
[QUOTE=paul simon;29191595]Wow, you're ignorant. You know, not everyone has access to a school that even uses 3D software for anything.[/QUOTE] In my school the most advanced software we used was ms word. And I still got a stud license by using school's email. Also it was a middle school too. Not uni or anything. You don't need access to a special school, you need access to their email.

[QUOTE=Maya2008;29201439]are you using Maya2011 x64?[/QUOTE] Yes, one thing I did notice is that there was no prefs folder, the scripts folder was just in the main program folder.
I am getting the same side-by-side error also, and I can't load it in plugin manager, as it's not there, I have to browse for it. Then I get the error.
[QUOTE=paul simon;29191595]Wow, you're ignorant. You know, not everyone has access to a school that even uses 3D software for anything.[/QUOTE] If you have a school-issued email (.ac.uk for the UK, .edu for anywhere else) you can get the software for free as a student. Apparently you can even get it if you don't have a student email (hmm?)

God dammit Norway, stop being so different...

Made more demo vids with new function. [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xq_tbXFM3q4[/media] working on making a nodal plugin that can do on-the-fly shatter. For the problems in the alpha versions mentioned before, I think I forgot the dll files xD
Oh btw, what happens with uvs and materials on the shattered parts?
The surface stays, but the inside is just default lambert1
[QUOTE=Maya2008;29344655]The surface stays, but the inside is just default lambert1[/QUOTE] Can we get a fixed version? Want to test this out!
Please try this version: [url]http://dl.dropbox.com/u/1531165/Super_Smash_Pro_Alpha_1.2.rar[/url]
It says 'cannot find procedure 'crack' and then something about unique modifier dropdownmenu.
did you load the plugin through plugin manager? You need to load Super_Smash_Pro.mll through the plugin manager within maya. The mel you source is just the GUI.
Ive watched the videos, fantastic plugin! ive downloaded it but cannot get it to load from the plugin manager. i get the message.. error; initializeplugin funtion failed (super_smash_pro) please help as i really want to try this plugin myself.

I love how you posted the exact same comment in 2 threads
Wait did I? damn, I'll remove this one. My internet is acting funny, and I don't even know how many tabs I have open...
Alpha 1.3 ---------- Features: Node control (interactive) Shell color preservation + sharp, interior normals Download: (Maya 2011 x64) [url]http://dl.dropbox.com/u/1531165/Super_Smash_Pro_Alpha_1.3.rar[/url] [editline]3rd May 2011[/editline] to do: implement physics for realtime fracture. I already made it fracture at 'start time'
Tried this out today, Really cool Crashed a few times. when trying to undo
Haha, yeah, undo is still a nightmare to fix :x [editline]3rd May 2011[/editline] will try to address it in the next release.
Liking this new release, 1.3. mine dont seem to harden interior face normals though. no big problem. cant wait to have physics included. what you gonna use, nvidia Physx, bullet or something else?
physX is too blackbox-like, gonna use bullet :p
This looks amazing o_o Uhm... does anyone have any good links to stupidly basic maya tuts? D;
I'd suggest just look through some random demo videos on youtube. and I fixed undo :] I am also implementing the physics part with my friend. Next release will be beta with realtime, on-the fly shatter.
