Re: Half-Life 2 Model Pack
Well you need to export 2 kinds of smds, the "sequences" and the "reference". The sequences contain the bone information, the reference also contains the bone information as well as the mesh. The materials are easily defined, the structure basically starts in the games "materials/" folder, then you just put in the correct… -
Re: Thoughts on the Stop Killing Games movement?
zetheros said: I was expecting to be enraged by that video (default state of being tbh) but I wasn't entirely. This isn't even all that unrealistic for new projects/engines - It is extremely unrealistic though, if you're someone who works on a legacy codebase containing thousands of instances where some code doesn't appear… -
[WIP] Wizard shop
Hello all. I always wanted to create a medieval stylized little diorama. Today I started with the blockout and a first light pass.

Re: Concept to environment: Wasteland Waystation
Ok, UV mapping / texturing theory question. The player is going to be able to walk into some of these CONEX containers, and I want the texture resolution to hold up at arm's-length distance.

Would you be willing to provide me with a small cutout of the model that contains pores and whatnot in order for me to test out the baking options myself and see what works and what doesn't? Unfortunatelly the only thing I was able to come up with is a geometry… -
Re: Mumbo jumbo - What does "node" mean?
It's a general-purpose word that's useful and common just because it's so generic. In CG/games (and in most computer science) large, complex things are built out of smaller, less complex things. It's helpful to figure out ways to describe the organization of how these things work together to comprise the sum of their… -
Re: Tech Artist - What are you working on: FOREVER Edition!
Maxscript question: Is there a good way to manipulate a collection of objects (a group), without grouping them? From what I read here: http://blog.duber.cz/3ds-max/what-are-groups-in-3ds-max apparently if you use grouping, and have something with animation, it can complete get messed up, and I'm aiming to make my script as… -

3dsmax script to export a material (and collect maps in certain folder)
I know there are 3dsmax script for collecting maps/textures, or finding missing maps/textures. If anyone knows a script that does something like described below, that would be great. But what I would like specifically is: 1) select a certain material to export (one or more) 2) determine the material library to add the…
