Re: Normalize UVs Maxscript
I see. Nevermind then, thought it was some magical new thing that took your mesh and unwrapped the stuff all nice and neat without having to manually do it. hehehe. I too merge all my objects into one editable mesh or poly and unwrap. Speaking of unwrapping; There's got to be an easier way than how I do it. 1) I finish my… -
Re: tutorial: fixing mirrored normal map seams
[ QUOTE ] "joined double-half bake" = ? What tool are you using the bake the normalmap with, and how are you getting the model into UE3? I'm wondering if UE3 is using the vertex tangent/bitangent data from the normalmap baker. If you're using UE3's own baker tool, then I'd guess that it's using the tangents. I've never… -

Re: Ori and the Blind Forest Artdump

Then bend or skinwrap (using slideknit or MoPKnit) to get an instance of the woven pattern into the shape I need. The cool thing about this method is that you can continue to work on the flat… -
Re: Working in the 3D Ghetto?
I think there's room for programs like poser, but not on a forum like polycount unless there were some really heavy modifications. The question is, are you using poser as a tool, or as a crutch? Programs like poser can be dangerous to the industry because if everyone could move some sliders and have REALLY cool awesome… -
Re: Autodesk aquires Alias
[ QUOTE ] Honestly, I don't care one iota about how easy the app is for a programmer. I'm the one making assests with it, not them. It's their job to make tools for the app I use, and allow me to do my job. Period. [/ QUOTE ] True the artists are the ones using the program to create the assets. But it's the programmers…
