Re: Points For Toothbrushing: The Gaming Speech Everyone Is Talking About
heh, you're the marketing dude here it seems, you tell me how the game usually works. I just doubt that marketing is only "oh you're looking for product X? here it is!". More often it's like "...don't you need product X to make your life complete?!?" -
Re: Scripting beginner :)
Have you done any scripting before? That might be a bit too difficult for a first script. But basically just store the X/Y of each vertex, treat them as a right triangle to get their X/Y distances and hypotenuse, then get the rotation angle in degrees and rotate the entire shell based on that. -
Re: Best way to
I have been meaning to ask, what are x-forms? I have been taught to reset them on my low ploy before I bake them, but don't know why. Can someone please tell my what are x-forms and why they need to be reset. Thanks -
Re: You know what really grinds my gears???
Actually Im having a hard time going from Max to Maya at my current job :/ That being said, I hate it when people are bitching about how shitty software X is compared to software Y. 'I could have done that in program X in 10 seconds!' <AAAAAARGH! -
Re: black dot lines on normal map
if you reset x-forms and collapse down it does pretty much the same thing as the box trick (although a character artist was doing this to some hair last week and every time he reset x-forms the hair moved a bit...very weird :\ Box trick fixed it though) -
Re: 3ds Max - Tiling an alpha mapped texture - gaps?
I just tried this and seem to work fine if you tile the map with bitmap options. Make your wall 1 x 4 and have the map tile 1 x 4 and see if there is a seam. I had a seam appear if I cloned the geometry and tried tiling it that way. Alex -
Re: Off The Coast - Cryengine 3
I only have a few textures at the moment that are properly done. Terrain uses two diffuse and one normal @ 1024 x 1024. Rocks are 2 diffuse and 2 normals @ 1024 x 1024. Plus some trees on the island. The building is now just a tiled simple metal texture that will be replaced. -
Re: Splitting Objects for more UV Space and Texture Details?
Mh...yeah, i asked my professor and he tells me the same. 1 x 4K is ok, 2 x 4K would be to much. The Problem is that all small details looking a little bit blurry on the normalmap when i go close enough. But you told me not to do that ^^ .... -
Re: i need some guidance
You can't. That's the resolution that the items have been set and those are the restrictions you have to work to. In future if you wanted to work at a higher resolution and then downsize later you should always work in a multiple of the base restriction, ie if it is 512 x 128 Then you could work at 1024 x 256. -
Re: Mudbox 2009
nice plan, thought of that too, but mudbox is only fast as hell if the geometry comes out of mudbox, importing a X-Mio objects results in same slow handling as before, and as you can't reconstruct or import level 1 from zbrush and then level X as a layer, you won't get any advantage
