Re: freelancing with blender?
Yeah honestly the max system is pretty strange and convoluted. In maya you can simply select an edge loop and set it to hard. Max you have to make a face selection, and then assign it to the weird smooth group system thing. If you want to do something more complex like have a hard edge transition from hard to soft… -

Re: UV Workflow / Max 8
I have Shift-R set to open the Relax dialog, and I always use Relax by Face Angles instead of by Edge Angles, with Iterations of 100 and Amount of 1.0 - works perfectly for nearly every possible outcome I've come across. Basically I just slap an Unwrap UVW modifier on top of my object, select any bunch of faces I want to… -
Back to Zbrush and Photoshop ?
Some times ago I suddenly noticed how really good my assets and materials looked back at the time when it was simply Zbrush sculpt +vertex paint + a few subtle Photoshop touches . A workflow I abandoned around 2008. Zbrush forces you to make art decisions , to evaluate your every touch carefully . Super inconvenient micro… -

Re: [3Dsmax] Autorig Scale...
Ha! Sorry, I was so confused because you said you were trying to do exactly what you were showing. I'm having trouble understanding Paule's quote there too. But basically you just multiply the starting position by the spinner value. It get's a little more complex when you have to handle undo and canceling when dragging.… -
Re: Diffuse and Normal map matching automated
Thanks for the input. Main reasons for me why I had this automated in this way are: 1. The masks are obtained trough the same algorithms of rendering as the normal maps was generetad, so edges, transistions, antialiasing etc are all the same in both masks and normal map. I also used to do it with wand selection but it's… -

Re: Bleeding your textures past UV borders
hello spoon For the first part of your question : what I'd do is grab the magic wand, set it to zero tolerance and no blending, and selct the outside bit of the UV chunks (or maybe max esports alphas with rtt? not sure) >ctrl+i to then invert the selection >ctrl+j to duplicate its content, two times >blur the lower copy a…
