My team and I are seeking one texture artist, and one level designer. Your responsibility would be, as a texture artist, would be to hand-paint pre-unwrapped models. As a level designer, your overall goal would be to create and maintain an art direction that most resembles something from "Ni no Kuni". In terms of…
I have run into some confusion on when is a static mesh actually an instance where it is reducing its draw calls in the project. Every static mesh in the detail panel has the word (instance) after it. However, from what I have gathered, these are not the same as instanced static meshes (ISM) created with a BP actor.…
i didt read whole post but mention a few things just in case you are unaware: look up the retopo options in marvelous designer. Newer version, 9 I think. also check this out, still a valid workflow I use despite newer tools: https://lesterbanks.com/2016/11/marvelous-designer-uvs-maya/ it's a good workflow becuase the…
Mechadus - Thanks dude. The indentations are floaters. I was gonna model them in but ended up with the geo being a bit to messy to do so. I would rather use a flat plane than loft as it seems a bit cleaner/easier to work with. EQ - Alright, so I guess I'm going with plane + shell :). I will show progress a little later as…
If nvidia had the best openGL drivers around, why there is so much issues in maya (openGL) with nvidia serie 8 cards? ( and some others ) I had no problems with my old geforce 5700 and now: freezes, slow down with my 8600 gt And i'm not the only one. I have no issues ( it seems ) in fx composer, but in maya it sux. Ok for…
I never really noticed the curve of the mouse wheel, I use a stock dell mouse for max at work 9+ hours a day. But then, I don't think I've ever had a flat wheel. Only thing I can't stand are tilt wheels. I found too many times my hand position would tilt the wheel when i was rolling it in max or autocad (at my last job…
Replied to the PM Vig, Thank you. Hopefully all these are options for the Pelt mapper are allowed in Max 9 , I always thought Pelting was only good for organics, not really meant for hard surface models. But I have no idea And thanks again for the compliment guys, now If i can just low poly model and unwrap as good as I…
So I asked at work and if I assign the shortcut NOT in main UI as Eric says AND turn on the override toggle it works. I don't know why this is different from max 8 to 9. However a tech artist at work made a script that adds the correct connect edge dialog to Main UI and I can just shortcut to that and it works great…
I forget what version they started this in, but if you're using a current version of max 9 - 2008 you can change the rotation solvers on the biped from quaternion to euler, that is if you're talking about using tangent weights in the curve editor. That seems to be most people's beef with using biped, not having weighted…
