From XSI to Maya - help me get my bearings
Hey guys, I've used XSI for ... wow a long time now. About 4 years. Anyway. I've decided I want to go to Full Sail for their Game Art degree (finally some official training :D ) and I've learned they use Maya there. So in anticipation, I've started messing around with it. I've heard XSI is pretty similar to Maya, but so… -
Re: [3ds Max] How to get rid of green UV seams?
People think display>Edge distortion is broken / useless , it is in fact not broken or useless, it's just that it takes the oft forgotten W coordinate into account. A coordinate that gets some pretty wacky values in it if you use some of the unwrap buttons. The following was achieved by selecting 3 faces, hitting reset… -
Re: [Maxscript] Get the selection order of selected vertices?
Talon: yeah, that's what I prefer too. Having tools work on selections is a powerful thing, much more so than having to call a tool before you get to set what it works on. I swear, if Max could just steal from Silo wholesale, I would be a much happier man. -

Re: 3 Valve Announcements coming!
Yea I don't think he would ever be that blunt at least not in public, but I think it needed to be said and I bet a lot of people at Valve have had similar thoughts. I'm glad they are trying to shake up the console market, it might get the console makers to start making some different decisions. As for the controller I… -

Re: Weird Triangulation when baking Normal Map (Substance Painter > Marmoset)
Thanks for the comments everyone, I think it is the triangulation coming from Maya. I do wonder how mine ended up so different from the tutorial. I have a lot of issues with hard edges as well that Simon was not getting. The low poly mesh imported to Substance had hard edges on all the UV seams so I wasn't really seeing… -
Re: Texture Designer - new image processing tool - released now
It's easier for an artist to pick colors with a picker than with sliders. right now you see a thumbnail of the color when you click on the rgba and drag around. As for add, multiply, subtract, etc I see those as photoshop blend modes. Am I wrong with that assumption? When you work in layers in photoshop part of the beauty… -
How to get rid of Pixelated edges on rotated objects?
So I created a few quads in unity and gave them an unlit shader. When I rotated them, they are heavily pixelated. Check screenshot. I tried two things to no avail: 1. Changing anti-aliasing settings to x4 gave a decent result but still not production worthy result. Theres still a lot of pixelation. 2. Tried rotating the… -
Re: handling bigger scenes in 3dsmax
XRef's can be a bit buggy. Pitfall 1) Sometimes they'll stop updating when you update the source model. So its normally best to wait until you're done with an asset before placing it. If you're in and out of the source file making edits, there's a good chance it will freak out. When it does freak out, you'll close the…
