Re: Efficient Workflow for Clothing Variations in Game Asset Creation?
I am not entirely sure I get your issue, but you can always create a 3d scene with copies of your main clothing mesh and assign each a unique material. Each unique material id will become a separate texture set with its own set of layers and maps inside Painter, and it will all be exported separately from Painter as well… -
Re: Level management in max (2009)
Containers might also be another thing to look at they were introduced in 2010, aparently they are a step up from XRef. havent tested them myself much. It seems you save each object into a container file and load instances of it into the scene, saving over the container updates every instance of it. -
Re: no games use coloured specular
Sage: LOL Ok, solve this simple problem "A pangram is a sentence which contains every letter of the alphabet. A self-documenting pangram is one which follows the general format of: This sentence contains <number> a's, <number> b's, <number> c's, ... For example: Only a fool would check that this sentence contains exactly… -
Maya animation fbx export issue
I know this is probably a super basic issue, but I cannot find a solution for it. I'm exporting out an animation into an fbx which will then be put into Unity, but the animation breaks when exported. The mesh and skeleton don't move, but the controllers all move according to the animation; this happens both IK and FK… -
Re: Maya's equivalent of Blender's "Layer"?
Cool, i didn't know about the isolating stuff, thanks for that! i choose the "layer" approach when retopo'ing. Layer "high" (contains highpoly) Layer "retopo" (contains one mesh from high to retopologize, the new "lowpoly mesh" goes to Layer "low") Layer "low" (contains lowpoly) so i have an overview what i retopologized… -
Re: Nested xRefs
Yep, Xrefs are a great idea but horribly broken in older versions of Max. In 2010 and higher they added "containers" and they aren't done overhauling the whole idea yet, 2011 will see some huge improvements to the container system also. They probably won't rip xrefs out of max, but rather leave them horribly broken and… -
Re: Damaged Marble Pillars -including resources(zBrushes+zTools+ingame models&textures)
Good morning. I have downloaded the zip file containing the pillar model, and i thought the pack contained the various states of the damaged model, but I only see an .FBX file for the stage one damage. I was importing this into Blender and viewing the model, is there something that I may be doing wrong, or did the pack… -
Re: Help with naming conventions and organisation
I second what Eric says. And you can't really have a fixed rule. You have to evaluate on a per-project basis how much you're likely to re-use that work later on, considering how many assets of the same kind you'll produce, or how generic it is. I'll tend to have cleaned up source files for tiles for examples, because I… -
normal, tangent, binormals - how they works
I have few questions about normal, tangent, binormals and how they works (with baker, engine, ..) Correct me if I'm wrong. I begin very simply, I create LP and HP, create Smoothing groups (hard/soft edges) as I need on my LP. My vertex normals (split, average) are computed from these smoothing groups. Then I export my LP… -
[3DSMAX] Problems with XRef (suddenly re-positioned after saving and opening file)
I know there are tree main solutions for external references in 3dsmax: XRef Files, XRef Scenes and Containers. Using Containers was buggy a few years and probably still is? XRef Scenes are not really suited for character design. So only XRef Objects remain. But XRef Objects seem to suddenly (randomly) move in the scene.…
