We are currently a 100 plus-person studio with plans to expand to 150+ in 2008. In its short tenure, Blue Castle has already developed and shipped The BIGS (published by 2K Sports in June 2007) on PS3, 360, PS2, PSP and Wii.

Autoweight version 0.060 is available

0 votes

Hi guys and gals,

I would like to thank everybody who contributed with feedback and questions to the development of the new version of Autoweight.

The new version 0.060 comes with an installer so you don't need to hassle around with the mzp-stuff anymore. Just extract the zip, execute the setup and follow the instructions of the installer.
After starting 3DS Max you'll find "Kogen's Tools" -> "Autoweight" in your "Costumize user interface" category when everything went right.

Updated several older scripts, here's the major updates:

splinePainter: Added ability to close the spline after creation.
sLib: Added sLibPowerNurbsFilter.
powerSolidManager: Also works on Power Nurbs now.
parameterManager: Added a progress bar to startup, hopefully it'll build it's list a little faster, or at least you'll know it hasn't crashed. Fixed a couple of crash bugs.
modifierUtilities: Changed the default modifiers. You can get the old set back by making your own custom set of default modifiers.
wireBundler: Modified the parameters of SplineMesher to create more consistent results.

Just wanted to make sure everyone knew the ScriptSpot forums have been reorganized (the way they should have been in the first place)!

The new forum structure allowed for the addition of two areas that I am excited to announce - a Freelance area and a Scripts Wanted area! ... A key component of the freelance area is the use of the user profile "contact" feature. This can be enabled in your user profiles towards the bottom where there is a checkbox for "personal contact form" - make sure to enable it. Alternatively, you're welcome to post your email address publicly if you'd rather...

New Search Functionality Unveiled

81 votes

I am proud to announce an entirely new search system is available on ScriptSpot. The new search engine runs on the Amazon cloud computing service so it's fast, allows for easy filtering of searches and provides content recommendations for similar content. Technologically speaking this is a huge advancement and will serve as a foundation for changes in the years to come.
