Maxscript for Newbies
This is part 2 of our series on MaxScript. I'll cover some simple ways you can start to use maxscript in your every day workflow. Even if you have never touched code before, there are some simple ways you can start using maxscript that will help you automate tasks and remove some of the time wasting steps you have to take… -
3d Studio Max - getting an object to follow an object following a path
I understand why this doesn't work - the green box doesn't directly inherit the transforms of the path so it doesn't translate the transforms to the child object (axis stays at origin through the whole path movement), but want to know if there's another way of getting it to work! :) This is the basics of how the scene is… -
Mirrored geometry get inverse normals in UE5
Hi, I'm used negative scale geometry for my asset to UE5, but it's always inverting the normals for the left half. Which is weird because I used the left half as an original when modelling the vehicle. If anything it should be the right half that is failing, yet, it goes the opposite way. Any way... ... I've tried all the… -
So whats the current best method for setting up Face-Weighted-Normals in Maya?
Hi. I've looked over the site for information on face weighted normals. I've come across some old depreciated tools and some newer ones that don't offer whats in other packages. https://polycount.com/discussion/183993/maya-free-face-weighted-vertex-normals-tool This tool seems to be the most recent but applies bevels to… -
Modular buildings - some technical questions
Just some various technical questions regarding modular sets and best optimized practices. - how many materials is too much for a modular set? Lets say a city building? I currently have 1 trim material (thats doing most of the work), 2 tiling materials, 1 unique bake for intricate details/sculpted pieces. I believe that's… -
Re: [CE3] Yet Another Sci-fi Scene
I would like to go on further and ask you why you have done the panels they way you have? The reason for all those panels with screws and such, would be for them to be easily retractable. That is, that installations are drawn on racks and shelf behind the panels. If you really thought of what installations and wires are… -
Re: Modelling & Texturing Environments
You'll need at least two UV sets for variation. A very simple method is to tile your texture on your first UV set, but not to use too much grime in it. Then create a grime texture which will be used as an overlay, put that on your second UV set, and make sure it tiles at a different interval. If you want to get more… -
Re: Depiction and Inclusion of Religion, Culture and Ethnicities in games
I've just played through the Raji demo. I love Ico, Journey, Bayonetta, and Genji therefore I am right in the target audience (I've played a bit of PS2-era God Of War games but not enough to have a firm opinion on them). The thing I liked the most about the demo is the way the game is not afraid to have a rather powerful… -
Re: UE5 project low poly asssets
I’ve completed the modular tunnel pipe set. It uses two materials: A tileable, vertex-painted concrete material for the tunnel walls and floors (512×512 textures). A trim sheet material for the train rails, lights, pipes, cables, and other metal elements (1024×1024 texture). The vertex count is slightly high:* T-pipe:… -

[ QUOTE ] I have the diffuse color map and the alpha map applied,but im then not sure how to apply it to studiomax [/ QUOTE ]Put the bitmap in the Diffuse Color channel, then in its Bitmap Parameters rollout set Alpha Source to None. Copy the map into the Opacity channel, set Alpha Source to Image Alpha, and set Mono…
