Re: What software / hardware are you using to draw 2D characters?
Adobe Photoshop is the best all around drawing + design app. Other programs are better at drawing and coloring, but lack a lot of feature that photoshop has. Corel Painter and ArtRage are great if you want a natural paint look. Clip Studio Paint is the best if you are doing line work and comic style drawings. If you are… -
Re: Post Processing - Filmic Filters
the grading apps you mentioned, i find them rather similar to compositors, you use a lot of animated masks and such to track them to hotspots in your footage to define where color adjustments are to be made. it's a very cumbersome way of grading the scene over time and requires those quite extensive toolsets. a game engine… -
Re: (Maya!) Another technical question pt.2
Yes, unfortunately Maya still doesn't have that feature. I really don't understand why Autodesk didn't add this (like many things Max users don't have). BUT, you could duplicate ur object, use Maya live into the other object, and then move each vert by hand. Or also, move the vert in an angle by changing it's axis, and… -

Re: Connect shortcut key Max 9

Yep I even reset to default and they still didn't work. What the hell. I can't get stitch to work, and the other keys in uvw edit and can't get my connect tool to work… -
Re: Going to make a huge investment... need some help
You can buy a 500$ license for 1 year 3ds max (with free upgrades), and you could grab polyboost at 150$ to beef up the modeling part heaps. Autodesk releases a new version every year anyway, so that would be catching two birds with one stone :) It's hard to recommend a program over another, it just degrades discussions to… -
Re: Lens Material
For non real time, if you've modeled out the inside of the scope, Put a Thin Wall Refraction material in the Refraction (not reflection) slot and crank up the properties. It will give you the coke bottle distortion a lens has. http://www.kxcad.net/autodesk/3ds_max/Autodesk_3ds_Max_9_Reference/thin_wall_refraction_map.html… -
Re: [3DS Max] Skin Modifier - Voxel Mapping doesn't work on "Shelled" or "Closed" surfaces?
Yep, I did everything to clean the mesh before doing any rigging to it, which was the frustrating part. For what it's worth (I guess the problem is solved?), I was told at the 3DS Max Forums that this is intended function of Voxel skinning, even a little overlap (like cloth wrinkles) will break it, and it's intended for 1… -

Problems with UDIMs in Maya 2020.
Hi all, So I've exported my textures from substance painter and tried to plug them into aiStandardSurface shader. My problem is that Maya won't even recognise a single UV tile (no number of UV tiles is displayed). On top of that, I keep getting two errors: 1)# Error: invalid syntax 2)# Error: file: C:/Program…
