Re: Sketchbook: Alismuffin
I like the flower painting you did on 4-25. :) Do you use soft brushes a lot? because I noticed that the most of paintings you did feels too blurry. Try to use the 100% opacity&flow default round brush without soft transition on. Two years ago, when I first used photoshop,I had a same problem that you are having right now.… -
Re: Should I be worried about this warning message?
Changing it here will have no negative impact on anything nor lead to any chance of corruption and so on. Changing that is the normal way to go. Pretty much every level out there uses this property on at least one mesh, if not tons of them. I've been using that property aggressively since 2002 and never at a single point… -
Re: [ SOLUTION ] [ MAYA ] Replace context sensitive marking menus
dagObjectHit leveraging undocumented command dagObjectHit we can build our own viewport object/component under cursor aware marking menu. ( I use ctl-mmb to not step on any default Maya MarkingMenu or functionality ) // EDIT: this is wrong old code! Because ctrl-mmb is used for interactively dragging normals with the move… -
Re: Help re: importing materials
Every time you import an asset with mesh data unity makes some materials based on images assigned to mesh or material name (I always find it slightly confusing and unpredictable). Sounds like every time she imports an animation it has mesh data in so new materials are being created. On selecting the asset in the project… -
Re: Metal material is too dark in viewer
My advice came from having worked multiple times on PBR asset authored in SP and used in Unity. The only way to work that way is, first and foremost, to make sure that you have good reference materials (I mean material in the broad sense : textures, scenes, models). There are a handful of special settings to take into… -
Re: [Maxscript] Making UV mapping suck a bit less.
I don't want to derail you or be a dick, but you could have unwrapped all of the non-planar pieces with Unfold mapping. No stitching, aligning, etc. needed. Make a hotkey for Unfold Mapping. All of the planar could have been done with Quick Planar along the Z-axis. Also, bind a hotkey to Stitch Selected. If you get a set… -
Re: Render to texture lighting problem
The render preview window will capture default lighting from your scene, which is based on the camera's potion/angle to the object if you move the camera, it will give you different results in the render preview window. BUT you shouldn't save what it shows you in the render preview window. In fact turn it off, because what… -
Re: A question about skeletons (that lava/Lgun makes)
If you're making a custom skeleton for your character, you should make a custom ragdoll, and, if you really want to, a custom "skeleton model" for your character. If you don't want to make a skeleton mesh, you can include the Skeleton= line in the upl and point that towards your model's mesh name (which means that your… -
Re: Help exporting vertex colours in MaxScript (achieving one to one correspondence)
Yep that's right, and you have to choose radiosity otherwise you only get shadows casted from other objects with light tracer, and no AO/self shadowing. And strangely it doesn't show up by default, you have to go back to the modify panel and the Vertex Paint panel pops up. You then have to click one of the top two buttons… -
Re: I'm a complete newbie in 3d modeling (started yesterday) and would love to get some critique.
Looks like you're getting comfortable with Zbrush, which is good! Good rule of thumb, the default red wax mat cap is rarely an "evenly lit" material to really analyze. You're going to want to find a grey clay mat cap to use as a default matcap instead. I don't think the design of this creature seems well thought out, but I…
