Re: Normal Map issue
[ QUOTE ] Welcome to Splitsville [/ QUOTE ] Thanks Eric, very informative. That leads me to another question. Is Eld's 3rd example worth using over his first example. Doing it this way means there are shading groups, discontinuous UV's and the normal map. Where as the first example is no shading groups, far less… -
Re: Forest
Eric IM me so we can talk about what polycount you want these to be and what all tree types you wants and small plants. I'm not sure if you saw this, but this is the LOD i was thinking of going for. http://tgz3d.com/newtree2.avi quick test of some redwood bark using at 256 res and 512 -

Re: How to avoid saving with copy.
Eric in photoshop 7 this didn't happen. I used to work on my psd file with layers and save as targa all the time. I currently have no alphas. If you did a save as you had the option to save as copy or to replace whatever file you wanted. Glad you posted your action to bypass this. Alex -
Re: Modeling with a Pen rather than a Mouse
Thanks Eric Oh yeah, and when I'm working in max, I use 'Switcher' so it's the same movement control scheme as Maya. At my last job I worked with the guys who wrote it... They also wrote 'Nex' which brings a lot of the max style selection specific tools over to Maya... their website is dRaster.com -
Re: Need opinions on round edge normal baking workflow
@Neox Hehe yeah, this bit was unfortunately a slip up coming from combining parts - but luckily enough in this specific instance there was no negative consequence on the asset. Mistakes do happen :) @Eric Chadwick : using mesh to UV could indeed be an interesting workaround - although I am not sure if a push doing the kind… -
Re: I can't make a fist
rikyu99 Eric Chadwick Thank you for your advice! I modified the bones and topology with the advice. The fist is more beautiful than last time. However, it is still a distorted fist. Is it possible to cure further? rikyu99 [You thumb position is too low and the fingers should be model in a straighter line.] I couldn't… -
Re: Question for people posting work as gigantic PNG files...
@pior & Eric Lightshot keeps the portion and its adjustable. Its kind of hard for me to put it into words, download it and you'll see what I mean. The only thing I don't really like about lightshot is that the save button (saving to file) is really close to the copy to clipboard. I guess its like an adjustable marquee tool. -
Re: Environment Terrain Textures...

Just working on some pipeline stuff atm. @ Eric Chadwick: Thanks for checking out the folio. Man, that was from back in school :) . I'll see if have a moment soon to get that stuff up for you. :) -
Re: Baking Vertex Color from HP to LP as Diffuse in Max
Face id's work in conjunction with a multi/sub material, so if you've already set your ID's, just throw a multi/sub mat with a different diffuse color per mat. You don't need textures. If you've made vertex color, do what Eric said. Id/multisub is easier to edit/maintain tho. Then bake as diffuse.
