Re: How do I efficiently retopologize a character like this?
generally speaking, it would be most efficient to pack accessory mesh specific to a character into its texture. position handheld elements, like weapons, on the 0,0,0 world coordinates. this is where the object will be snapped to the hand by the rigger, so center a weapon's grip here and face it forward with the character.… -
Re: 1024x512 vs 1024x1024
The biggest advantage of 512x1024 over 1024x1024 is that it uses half the memory. The biggest advantage of 1024x1024 over 512x1024 is that it gives you double the pixels. Any other reasons for using or not using are going to be incredibly specific, and your tech team will tell if you you should or shouldn't use them. You… -
Re: Bake issue: High res is mirrored in one place?
So, you're saying crotch-leg 2 has a separate material entirely than crotch-leg 1? I'm not familiar with UDIMs so can't speak to that part of your story, but for a traditional workflow, the 0-1 space (the lighter gray square where most of your UV elements are) is the only space that gets unique texture information-- it… -

Re: unity -3d arrays
As it's C#, you can just use any C# tutorials - they're not specific to Unity. It's only UnityScript that is specific to Unity and I don't think Native UnityScript has the ability to create multidimensional arrays (although it can use them if they've been created in C# and passed over). At least it didn't the last time I… -

Re: Problem with HLSL in max 2008
the way you compute the mirroring might create too many inaccurate values, hence the artifacts. also you can further optimize the code by doing x and y at the same time outcoord.xy = lerp(incoord.xy,-incoord.xy,step(1,fmod(abs(incoord.xy),2))); what we do here is first: fmod(abs(incoord.xy),2) means we get values from 0-2… -
Re: None Square Textures 3DS Max Unwrap?
SP doesn't accept non-square textures so I don't know if you can use 2:1 UV's. You can change the aspect ratio in the unwrap editor in Max but you really don't have to. Just unwrap as normal, but across 2 adjacent UV tiles(vertical or horiz from/and including 0-1, whichever you prefer) When finished uniformly scale to half…
