Re: Max 2012 weird viewport shading
2012 has this wonderful bug with certain video cards where the default shading is screwed up. Happens with mine (a GeForce GTX 480), even with the hotfix/SP1 installed; thus I'm still on 2011. Does the shading on your default primitives look okay? (No strong backlight/fresnel effect for no reason?) You can try to go to… -
Re: Realistic mapping/texturing for game engine.
Also, texture-wise, no matter how high res the source, if the uvs only take up a small area of the sheet then the res will dramatically reduce on the final texture. Make sure the source texture has no lighting/shadow information or is polarised at source. This is important in the modern PBR workflow as the albedo map is… -
Re: 2 questions for Low poly modeling
I just came up with another silly question for you guys. I've always worked on Windows (currently 7 64 bits) and I've only recently tried Mac OSX and I'm now jalous of the default image viewer this OS have. by default it read .psd .tiff .eps .ai and with the press of a button a can have a quick look at the file. this could… -
Re: max to unity. unit sutup
thanks guys ! :) I really appreciate your help. I wonder if you guys could share some more information ! I am going to rig the characters with biped. I found that if I add some extra bone with default biped then the animation will be good. because my characters are little complex. how many bones can I use to run the game… -
Re: Sketchbook: Noel Cower
Thanks. Well, you got the link to the model (I think, you may have gotten the UT2k4 one by accident, but it's pretty easy to read filenames..). The tutorial can be downloaded from here. It almost goes back to when I first joined (and it was a big help for me back then), so I don't know how much it applies to current work… -
Handplane Baker development roadmap
I wanted to post our development roadmap for users to comment on allow for a centralized place for suggestions and feedback. 1) Add support for user editable default settings. This will take the form of a default HPB file that the UI loads on startup. 2) Add support for baking texture data from high poly models 3) Improve… -

Re: Max 2012 doesnt remember quad menus.
You need to save it to the default place max saves the UI files as maxstart.ui or whatever its called, thats normally in the 3dsmax folder/ui I think. If you have it saved/loaded somewhere else it will load the maxstart.ui file every time and because it was never overwritten you end up with the old default. It should… -
Re: how do i move my mirrored uv's exactly one unit outside of 0-1 space in Max?
In default Max, there's a little button down in the bottom left of the Unwrap UVW window which toggles the coordinate entry between "Absolute" and "Relative". Toggle this to Relative first (it's on Absolute by default), then select your UVs and type "1" into the little entry fields down in the bottom left, then hit Enter.… -
Re: Companion color calibration woes
Actually I think 2-3 years is pretty new . My last one is 5-7 years and I think it's still more or less ok. Probably depends also on how frequently it was used and where was stored. Saw an advice somewhere to keep it in a fridge door like old film negatives. Not sure although if it really helpful Also try to find a kind of…
