Re: Mental Ray Normal Map Self-Shadowing?
Not really, forget about ambient occlusion for the moment. What I want is shadowing from the normal map "faked" surface. Imagine a flat polygon plane, extrude a central polygon outwards. Generate a normal map from that and apply it to a flat polygon plane. Now... when rendering the low polygon object with the normalmap I… -
Re: Witch Hunter
the intention is great, but i think the problem lies in the fact you tried to put too much personality by pushing his facial features too far without a solid base skeleton. you can only push the (super)facial features if you pushe the skeleton first. and you can not push the skeleton if your base skeleton is bad. the… -
Problem texturing a track for racing games
Hi. I'm trying to make a track for a racing game in 3ds Max. First I modeled and textured a segment of the track: Then I duplicated it many times and attached it in a single mesh: And finally I created a spline with the shape of the track and added the modifier Path Deform to the mesh of the road and picked the spline. The… -

Re: Problem with DDX DDY normals breaking lighting when used for opacity masking
soo... now ive actually thought about this you're clipping out faces that don't point directly at the camera so really it's doing what you're asking it to. if they're not visible they're not going to cast shadows and unless the camera and light are aligned, most faces aren't going to be visible to the light an alternative… -
Re: Karl The Pilot
Overall, not bad. I think the face could use more love...both in sculpt and texture. He looks pretty generic and blank faced whereas in the concept he has a very stern expression and more unique features. Folds look solid but probably could use more depth given the size of the clothing. His jacket inner lining padding… -
Re: The Monthly 'Newb' CHARACTER Challenge | March 2014 | Adviser Pilot Girl
Hi all, First time taking part in one of the challenges so fingers crossed I see it through. I'm useless at finishing personal projects so have decided to take the last unfinished body sculpt I was working on as my start point. This evening I've been working on the head and I'd appreciate any pointers. I always struggle… -
Re: Rotoscoping polygons: Can it be done?
There's a breakdown of how it was done. It starts with a 3D model, they bring in an animator who does inbetween work which is, draw on top of the polygon frame per frame. They also use computer simulations to properly scale the drawings (for example, if you draw a smiley face on the character's hand, the smiley will… -
Re: Body sculpt
Huge improvement yet again. Keep up the great progress. As for the forearms, the best thing you can do is use your own forearm as reff. Feel how the bones are actually twisted in the position your model is posed, particularly around the wrist area you will notice that there is something off there, as though the hands were… -
Re: A new modeling tool released
Alrighty, found another bug, the Select - Through is NOT working as expected.. Example: If you have a Box Connected to another Box on it's Right Side.. and you click to select through the face on the left, so that you will get the face you clicked on and the face on the other side of that face, directly behind it, it will…
