Re: QUAKE 4 - SDK now available
[ QUOTE ] I might actually make a PPM for Quake4, I can't stop reading the info they have. Suprisily most of it makes sense and is pretty straight forward. Pitty they haven't added a max exporter yet =/ but oh well that's life =) [/ QUOTE ] they havent.. but that didnt stop someone else from doing it!! the doom3 md5… -
Re: Normal maps, make me wanna jump off a bridge (solved x'P )
scum, try exporting in a different file format. I kept losing my smoothing groups in sbm, which I assumed was the best format (should be, but clearly not), so I tried another format and it worked. As a rule fo thumb, I always check the model in the viewer before I do anything, just to see if lp and hp are aligned and SG's… -
Re: Speed Tree "cards" moves away in lods?
I have worked with ZBrush and Redshift before. To optimize your workflow. I recommend using the ZBrush UV Master plugin or the Auto UV Mapping feature to create effective UV layouts that can be easily textured in Redshift. You can also use the UV Map Exporter plugin to export UV layouts as OBJ files, which can then be… -
Tips on Making Realistic Lowpoly Environments
hey! new here. i've been working on a 3dge project for a few years now, and i'm trying to learn how to make efficient lowpoly realistic environments. here's a look: (render, i had to temporarily remove the mixed textures from my blender file exporter, and reveling in ray traced ambient occlusion, i'll be hand painting that… -
Re: Z Brush being rebellious again. Help!
WHOA!! Thank you all so much for the replies! @cheeseontoast - reason I decided not to use transpose was because I find it extremely counter-intuitive. I've played around with it for quite some time now but I still find the results it gives very unpredictable. When exporting the mesh (as obj) however, I did not switch off… -
Re: xNormal Hi-Poly to Lo-poly Baking in UDK - Lighting Seams
I'm 90% sure that it's because you mirrored your uvs. For whatever reason, mirroring the UVs in channel 0 creates lighting seams in static meshes. If this is a character then that's not a problem, since characters are skeletal meshes, not static meshes. The seams will appear whether or not you're using a normal map, if I… -
Re: [Chivalry] - Agatha Knight - Lion Set
Reply by Chris Bruin · · Home› Contests & Challenges Archives› Arms & Armor, Chivalry: Medieval WorkshopI'm pretty sure I mostly fixed the problem! The results are much better than what I was getting previously. Here's the solution and complete workflow that should produce good results: 1. When exporting your .fbx out of Maya/Max/whatever, make sure you export the Tangents and Binormals under the export settings. However,… -
Re: [UE4] Frazão Archviz: New videos, screens and download available
Godsend tools i used or using on this project where i HIGHLY recommend: Bulk file renamer Seriously, download this if you don't have yet. Help A LOT on file naming and renaming convention when we have to deal with a bunch of files, sometimes rename/add words/remove words once group at all is something we must have handly.… -
Re: Scripting streamlines your 3d workflow
The maxscript listener code is fine, as long as you take the core of it and wrap it up nicely. Everything in the listener is written specifically for the objects that it is dealing with at the point, so I normally add a layer of abstraction. A simple script that I use a lot is rotating a character. I build my characters… -
Re: Multi-convert Maya-files to 3d max
This would be pretty easy to do through script. Basically you can just get a list of *.mb files in a given folder, and for each file just open it, export to whatever file type you want (I'd recommend FBX) and close the file. Something like this (disclaimer, I'm not testing this code, just writing it on the fly, so it may…
