Re: 3ds Max - Shaded Faces
OK i've been looking at it a bit more.. goto wait for the other posts to be moderated before this one so you might get a burst of wrong answers as I tried to find the solution which haven't gone through the system yet. First time on here ya see ^_^ OK... I noticed I had the problem after trying to adopt another files unit… -
Re: Scifi Slum in UDK
sup- thought I should chime in as I gave a critique to some other kid about his work- and he cited yours as reference. I wasnt trying to badmouth your work- your HP skills are extraordinary! One thing that I feel would make this scene start to sing is some large shapes- right now you have lots of super sexy high-frequency… -
Re: Zbrush - Zremesher won't preserve polycount
Long story short, when you create maps in a program like Xnormal, only the lowpoly mesh needs UV coordinates. The highpoly model doesn't need UVs, or matching topology / vertices; it's surface only needs to occupy the same general space as the lowpoly model. The baking tool will start a certain distance out from the… -
Re: texturing a race track
for terrain vertex-blending would definitely be most suited. texture stuff would eat too much memory, and for a race game its sufficient to have vertex accuracy and just spend a few more tris to get good enough vertex blend zones. about decals, the most efficient way would be packing different "grooves" next to each other… -
Re: medieval town
Looks decent, but a few crits. 1.) randomise the stone facings a little more as they ook repeated. 2.) You need a bitmore weathering, such as vertical streaks from the plaster hahed over the wood, and dark streaks against the plaster itself where the wood has channeled running water onto the wall (Below vertical and… -
Re: Vertex Lighting Bake - Thoughts?
Ok. from the responses I think our system is so far off base I'm not making myself clear, lol. Resistence baked their lighting solution into a map, this isn't really what I'm talking about as it's dealing with how they handled lights. We're using dynamic lighting solution, meaning very little is going to be baked in, which… -
Re: Hi Poly Attempt-Jaggir (And a Request for Advice).
As for your question,which of the above showed methods to use: There isn't that much difference between the two of them, especially time-wise.(I remember dimly though that there is no shift-cloning edges in maya, so it could be different there.) You could have built the very same light mesh that you got with the… -
Re: Max 2010 Modeling tools - any early impressions?
Awesome, it will be nice to have the command panel back I was going to experiment floating it but I'll try that first. The first time I dragged out the vert/horiz toggle, it only worked when graphite was active. I never really settled on one way or the other, so I left it out. After restarting 3dsmax it was available every… -
Re: Looking for Honest Feedback on My Stylized Game Environment!
Thank you very much for your honest and detailed feedback! I appreciate it a lot. Regarding the vertical gradients, I completely agree with you that they would make the overall look much better and more distinguishable. However, I'm not sure which gradient colours to choose and if I need to keep the gradient colour… -
Re: Reordering the vertex numbering of a model.
If your needs are not simple and you actually have to re-order "every" vert's order to match another model whose vertex size is the same ( and is essentially the same model. Tho I suppose the following is valid for any "UV matchable area" ) Chances are you have committed to UV layouts already and have turned on the…
