10 Years - In Search Of A Logo

Submitted by Admin on Sun, 2010-05-02 23:05

A component of the regular UI changes has been the changing / improving (IMHO) of the ScriptSpot logo. While early logo attempts were certainly not the best from a graphic design POV they also didn't do much to define what the site was.

The current logo is based on the idea that ScriptSpot is a global community. The dots surrounding the large blue ball signify people - like you - all around the world who contribute their tools for the rest of us to use on ScriptSpot.

Happy New Year!

I'd like to wish all of you a fantastic New Year! 2010 has been fantastic - we've celebrated the 20th anniversary of 3ds Max and the 10th anniversary of ScriptSpot along with sister sites MAXUnderground & MaxPlugins.de !

Have a wonderful and safe New Year!

Announcing the ScriptSpot "RE-launch"

Submitted by Admin on Tue, 2006-11-07 00:25

The day is finally here! I am proud to announce an entirely new ScriptSpot is here! Completely rebuilt from the ground up, the new site has been built specifically to address the needs of the community for years to come.

Check out these new features:

User based content submission (scripts, extensions, tutorials, news). No more waiting for your script, plugin, tutorial to go live. All of you have the ability to get your content live, any time, 24/7/365.
User blogging that pulls together your blog with all your submitted content. Example - my blog allows me to blog any new announcements or news about myself / my submissions while making it easy for users to see what content I've submitted and what content has been marked as my "favorite". The idea was to create a way for users to have their own blog and storage for their relevent content and present it to people in a very readable way.
Additional application support - initial site rollout adds SketchUp, future additions of XSI, Maya, Lightwave, Rhino, Cinema4D, etc based on demand.
Favorites allow users to mark any content as their "favorite" then allowing the community to see what scripts particular people find to be useful. Favorites are implemented on the individual user blog page.
Email subscription allows users to subscribe to virtually all content, be it a script, plugin, blog and be notified via email when it is updated or commented on.
Full comment system and content ranking. Like a script or plugin? Give it a thumbs up by clicking the "plus" sign on the voting widget. Want to leave some constructive feedback, use the comment system to contribute your thoughts!
Forum - really, its about time!

Autoweight 0.055 is out

Submitted by kogen on Fri, 2011-12-30 09:10

I'm glad I can make the announcement that Autoweight 0.055 is available now.

There are a couple of new features like

* a weighting-falloff curve
* a mirror function
* an automatic region setup function according to your bones (still needs some work for complex characters for sure)
* speed up region selection
* multiple region selections
* additional bugfixes ;)

If you liked Autoweight 0.030 you might like the new version even more cause it makes the skin-weighting life a easier.
