Re: UV mapping and Retopology (Current and future State)
You'll be pleasantly surprised by maya 2018, it's got nightshade built in (the code still has nightshade comments in) so it's pretty modern by autodesk standards. I choose it over max for multi object unwraps and layouts even though maya is fundamentally a pile of unstable shit that has no right to cost what it does. I'm… -
Re: Mocap Tutorial for Games
Thanks for sharing this :thumbup: I haven't had the need to mess with motion capture data, but it's always helpful to know the workflow behind how it's done in motionbuilder... if there's ever a need for it. (This is probably a long shot, but if anyone still has the 2010 motionbuilder PLE 30day trial, plz let me know.… -
Re: Homemade mocap?
It looks like Autodesk is sitting on Movimento after they bought it. Not sure if the tech is being folded into some of their other software or if they have given up on it? I remember seeing it sold at a ridiculously low discount awhile back. ( like $49 ) Not sure how that affects lic tho? But fer the price it might be… -
Re: 3DS Max Baking Globar Supersampler artifacts?
Clean scene, Edit Mesh, Reset XForm, increase the settings, etc. Unfortunate as it may be, Autodesk (at least to my last check) has left some bugs in MR in Max which takes forever to bake something, and when they do they leave behind a whole slew of messy bakes. My suggestion is either get VRay or do a Basic Scanline bake,… -
Re: 3DSMax - FBX update for 2009/2010?
You can install FBX Converter. http://usa.autodesk.com/adsk/servlet/pc/item?id=10775855&siteID=123112 You can leave the interface up and just keep overwriting as you need to update the FBX. Or you can make a batch file or MaxScript that runs a command like this: "C:\Program Files\Autodesk\FBX\FBX… -
Re: Which software should i be learning for hard surface modeling in games?
Yep. Either of the autodesk programs will do. Seems like dedicated hard surface people tend to lean towards 3dsmax, but that's just the impression I get from these forums alone. Maya has better tools for rigging and animation. Look up Michael Pavlovich on youtube to get up to speed with zbrush. You can do hard surface in… -
Re: 3D Programs - Which to use (blender user)
Well mostly I do game asset design, I'm trying out environment design, and I'm pretty good with characters, but most of my stuff is low poly, and I'm leaning towards autodesk products I'm just not sure which to get, SoftImage, max or maya, right now in my mind max seems to be in the lead, but I want to see if someone can… -

Re: Is it possible to use planes with alpha to bake on to other planes?
How did you do it ? Have just downloaded and installed Arnold 2.3.37 for MAx2019 . Besides baking surface shading It bakes few weird artifacts and nothing more. From what I saw I am not even sure Arnold is fully capable of baking. That Arnold have always seemed to me even bigger pain in the a.. than Mental Ray ever was .… -
Re: Maya weight painting issue- Vertices getting pulled towards ground
it's haunted. Since you did work with Post turned on, there's a good chance that many of your verts have weights totalling less than 1. Do Skin>Normalize Weights to fix that first, then go back through each joint to make sure the weighting is good and start painting out bad deformation. edit: Sorry, I didn't even think to…
