Re: Any way to achieve these kind of trees in unreal engine?
Well save that second mesh there as its own thing, just be sure the UV's are the same. I'm not sure what tools you have available, but if you have substance designer, it has a built in world space normal baker. I believe Xnormal does also. That will be the simplest way. There's also the render to texture options in 3ds… -
Re: Retopologize already retopologized model to a lower poly variant
If you use object space normal map, with almost same UV layout, you might end up with an extremely similar looking object. But to be honest, Object space normal map isn't really a popular thing now because it doesn't work well on deformed models. (Thou it would look better than any other types of normal map on a static… -
Re: Using Left Over UV Space For Decals
You also have to be careful of your shader(s) and that your solid object doesn't have problems sorting with other transparent textures. Most of the time that means breaking off the transparent object from the solid and applying a separate shader that has opacity mapping. Leaving the solid object with a solid shader no… -
Re: Should I always normalize the whole UV map?
After trying with the normalize script inside of textools (which doesn't work with multiple objects) and relaxing all the UVs, I used the normalize tool of the Polyunwrapper demo after reseting Xform for all the objects (http://www.polytools3d.com/polyunwrapper/). I would have prefered something within 3ds Max, but that… -
Re: Floating Geometry in Maya?
It's as simple as a new object, such as a screw head, duplicated and placed around your other model as needed. I usually create these sorts of models away from my actual model, then duplicate and place the copies. Having a sensible object pivot makes life easy; especially if you can get away with snapping to your 'base'… -
Re: 3ds max constraints
Sure...here you go...I hope you can decipher my scribblez... Bucket is linked to the Control Object (a simple renderable Spline), The Control Object is linked to the Arm. Then I created a 3-Bone Chain (2+End) from the Joint you called '2' in your screen across the Piston Joint to the Second Joint at the Bucket (the… -
Re: Recommended 3D Software
Character studio is a tool that let you deform objects like a human does for example. Rigging is the process of attaching a model to a set of objects that act like bones, to deform the object. Character studio is Max way of doing what in XSI can be done with the biped guides and the animation mixer. When you get used to… -
Re: Specular color help
in real life there's no specular. Smooth objects reflect more light in the same direction than rough objects. a layer of water on top of a rough object tends to make the surface more smooth and so it reflects light more readily when its wet. Specular is a quick way of simulating that reflection in computer world. So… -
Re: [Blender] Create Group After Naming It
The add Object -> Collection -> New Collection (Ctrl-G) seems to be leftover of the changes when introducing collection (which ar not groups). In fact in Object Properties -> Collection there will be a new collection.. and if switching the outliner display mode to Orphan Data you also can see them.. but they are not… -
Re: [Maxscript] random UV position of texture
That's not maxscript syntax. You should check some samples scripts . Should be : for i=1 to 6 do ( ) But instead of a fixed iterations number, you could parse your selected objects like so : --array of selected objects
