[solved] Speedtree: How to increase size of the trunk in final atlas.
Hi! I am combining bark and leaves texture in a single atlas to reduce draw calls. I am having trouble finding out how to increase size of the tree trunk compared to leaves in the final atlas texture, basically change size ratios between trunk and leaves. If I use export mesh and VFX setup tree trunk takes too little space… -
Re: Sketchbook: Celosia
I had a sudden thought this weekend and solved three unrelated workflow annoyances. 😄 First one: Sometimes I sink edge loops of clothing to create the appearance of invisible seams. My usual approach involved manually prepping the mesh in Marvelous Designer with extra edge loops, exporting an unwelded mesh and manually… -

Re: Understanding tangent and binormal workflows between programs?

Maya and 3ds max use a different tangent space calculator to bake normal maps. If you are exporting a mesh from Maya/3ds max to… -
Re: Expanding DBuffer Decals
Interlude: Translucency Sort Order One problem I noticed when stacking decals is that the sort order wouldn't respect geometry. You can see it in the image below. Even though the screws are placed well above the paint strip, the paint gets rendered after the screws and as a result overwrites the screws' color information.… -
Re: UT3 and smoothgroups
I can't really help you but i can tell you that we are using the UE3 engine at work and we are exporting ASE from max into the engine. The smoothing groups are intact. i can confirm the vertex welding though. I think your ASE exporter is the issue, seems like it doesnt really export smoothing groups but just splits the… -
