You could get a similar effect (baking the normals without any artifacts caused by intersections with other high-poly parts of the model) by exploding your low-poly and high-poly models. Depending on how you did the sculpt there are a couple of ways to do it. If you worked exclusively with multiresolution subdivision in…
I'm only gonna rough this in: 1. Build up a very (!!) basic mesh in 3ds and export it to zbrush as an .obj 2. After loading up your model in zbrush go to Tool-Geometry-Divide and add some more polys 3. Start sculpting and further dividing as you wish until you're satisfied 4. Now switch back to Subdivision level 1 (Hit…
yea after reading some more into this I found some weirdness and solutions to it. the major being that for some reason when you have your project set to defered lighting, and shader model 2 and you export lets just say a box 2 smoothing groups and a normal map etc baked, and you export that as a FBX when it imports it in…
CrazyButcher: you forgot the link but I kind of think that I know what it is about, in max it really is easy to write any values very quickly to any ASCI format using format and other methods. Some reasons to go for a custom format: - reduce filesize (go perhaps binary) - store unique special data - optimize for…
I can't seem to find the best export preset for Marmoset toolbag 3. There is a Toolbag 2 export guide, but not for toolbag 3. Is there a certain existing preset, or best export settings described somewhere?
Ever since I discovered how to use Face-weighted normals, I've been using them on most models that I create. This however has caused me a few issues when loading the models into Unity. I'm using 3DsMax to export my models. I first discovered the errors when using the FBX exporter and loading those into Unity. Could not for…
Hey, silly question about Max's unit setup. I typically work in Meters, since that's what our engine accepts. My Units setup is "Display Unit Scale: Meters" and "System Unit Scale: 1.0 Meters". Everything saves and exports out correctly, and in-engine it all works out to the correct sizes. My problem is that max doesn't…
I'm busy making an item which require some animations (Juggernaut Ability 2 - Healing Ward). I've done the animation sequences in 3Ds MAX, namely the 3 scenes required by the importer: ACT_DOTA_SPAWN, ACT_DOTA_IDLE, ACT_DOTA_DIE. I've exported these scenes as FBX and I import them using the in-game DOTA 2 Workshop…
