More details of this license terms

11.

If so, the component will be identified by the author in the Item's description page or in the Item's downloaded files. The other license will apply to that component instead of this license.

RR8_UI_F
I have made some major changes to this script. If you have an older version of Render Ready, backup the older version and delete the Render Ready folder.
1. Textures are now called from a shared directory. You can add more textures in the SharedTextures Folder and they will appear on the right Pane. You can Create new Directories in the SharedTextures folder and they will appear as buttons in the right pane.
2. I have added a Material Creator/Editor. You can right click on a texture in the right pane and click "Create Shader". Textures ending in "_C" will be the color map, "_N" will be the normal map , "_S" will be the spec map. Also in the left pane if you check on "Edit", you can click on one of the the Color Textures on the right and it will recreate the material with that texture. You can also Right click to edit or explore the texture.
3. If you have an object selected you can filter out the material(s) on that object by clicking the "Show Selected Materials" button.
4. I have added a global AO Editor
5. Module previews are now rendered at an angle instead of front
6. Adjusted the UI to be more maya 2011 friendly

11.22.2010
1. Added a Building Preview window under the window menu. This way you can preview all buildings in Render Ready. You can also build buildings by right clicking the images in this window.
2. Added 3 new module sets. NYOfficeA NYBrownStoneA NYBrownStoneB. These modules are not yet completly textured or optimized.
3. Fixed an issue in the City Builder That created circle and oval type buildings.

11.03.2010
1. Updated geometry and textures fo the museumA module set
2. Changed Icons in the PC verstion to use .xpm file instead of .bmp This is now the same as the Mac version. This was done to prevent 2 different versions of the script
3. Added a props tab that contains Sky Boxes and will contain Props.
4. In the Export Tab there is now a Render Building Preview. This is the preview of the building in the RR_Building Tab. This needs to be renedered in the working file.

10.10.2010

10.10.2010

3. Added a progress bar for the convert RR maya files

6.14.2010
1. Fixed a path issue in the install mel script
2. Added a repath textures in the help menu. This should only be used on the working file. This is needed if you have installed render ready to a location other than the Root of your HD. You will then have to re-export all the modules so the texture call is correct in the module files.

6.13.2010
1. I changed the main function call to set the directory where you have installed Render Ready. (This way you can install RenderReady to any Directory). Read the New Install instrcutions above or in the text file inside the zip file

added shader network clean up so you dont get duplicate shading networks.
made the download file an exe zip file for easier installing
Added a video Demo on this page

3.14.2010 Updates

2. Added extend city blocks so you can grow the city larger.(See the low poly city video)

1.24.2010
updated the UI.
added some error checking when starting render ready for unit scale and up axis.
added shader network clean up so you dont get duplicate shading networks.
made the download file an exe zip file for easier installing

7.5.2009
updated some workflow issues. you can now predefine the size of the building being made. also if you build from boxes it will error check to make sure it has the correct name. Also added export path when creating your own modules.

4.7.2009
Install Update:
If you have dowloaded a previous version of RenderReady you need to delete the RenderReady_UI_Beta.mel file out of the RenderReady/Tools directory. This mel file will get resourced and crash maya. Or you can just delete the whole directory(might be the best way).

1. Unzip to your C drive (do not unzip to a sub directory)
2. copy and paste these 2 lines into the script editor or create a button with these 2 lines.
source "/RenderReady/Tools/RenderReady_UI.mel";
RenderReady_UI();

4.5.2009
Added the tools code that has export and render icons to allow you to make your own modules.

Create Modules
- Make sure your maya settings are are in CM and that your UP direction is in the Z
- Added naming convention of modules to the help tab.
- The best way to create your own modules is to create a sub-directory under the building your working on. This file will contain all your modules. I have included working files in this release

How to Export:
-If you have your directory structure set up like above, all you have to do is select the modules you want to export and click the export button (the export path will look for the working directory). If your working file is not in this location you can set the location by pressing set and setting the folder you want to export your modules to.

Rendering Modules:
- set your export directory.
- select the modules you want to render and click render module icons. (make sure your units are in CM or the rendering will not come out correct).
- Also make sure once the rendering starts you dont switch windows in maya.
- The image size created are 100 x 100 and in bmp format. (will be working on having options for this)

Help:
Added a link to the render ready homepage in the Help Tab(make sure to read the help page :) )
Added naming convention of modules to the help tab
