Re: Tips for video tutorials?
It might be me and/or my monitor, but that white font on dark grey is hurting my eyes. I'd go for a lighter grey background and slightly darker font, something like Polycount's colors right now. Also get rid of the shadow on the text, it's doing nothing but making it even worse on the readers' eyes :P Edit - Also, the… -
Re: Multiple UV Channels in Max 2008...
I understand resetting of the UVs - that doesn't bother me so much anymore. Instead of asking now, it auto-copies UV channel 1 into the new channel, as a starting point (without asking). Once you layout the chan3 UVs and collapse the stack, it's easy to edit them again. You just apply the unwrap, hit chan3, hit ResetUVW's,… -
Re: windows 7
Home has a compatibility mode I believe. What you are talking about is the XP emulator thats only available with Pro or Ultimate. In other words a virtual machine. No reason for home x64 edition. Other than... Its missing the interface for direct implementation of system rules. So turning off the built in tablet functions… -

Re: Tricky hard-surface object approaches
when i do this sort of thing i make the spline shape. and duplicate it. convert 1 shape to editable poly, this should give you 1 or 2 crazy n gons. Inset the editable polys faces, usually there are only 1 or 2 ngons. once i have the inset i clean up the interior ngons, topology isnt to much of an issue here as the inset… -
Re: Wireshape - The 3D Scanned Assets Stock is Looking for Private Beta Testers
Hi Neox, Yes, in RT edition we will deliver mesh based on quads in FBX and OBJ formats. The bread model above has about 2k polygons in RT package. Of course, it is possible to vary considerably according to the shape of each object to maintain the balance between the details and mesh density. RT edition deliver a mesh… -
Re: Pelt Mapping from an inner seam?
That is untrue. In the map parameters rollout, uncheck "show map seam," and only have "show seam" checked. Do you have any blue edges now? If not, you need to edit the seams for the pelt map. Enter edge mode for Edit UVWs, then select "Edit Seams" from the Map Parameters rollout. Then click the edges you want to be your… -
Re: NDo2 or Crazybump
CrazyBump has a major limitation if you are using it in a production environment, it is completely destructive and if the art director asks you to edit your normal map you will want to cry. It is also a pain in crazy bump that there is no reload button if you want to go back and edit the greyscale or diffuse texture you… -
Re: Can I add verts to a model after baking a normal map?
EQ is totally right. But if you want to be really hacky, you could lock all your vertex normals before doing the extra geometry cuts, then manually edit the vertex normals of the vertices you added to match the original geometry. That way you don't have to re-bake at all and you shouldn't have any visible artifacts. It is…
