Hey no worries Brice! This is just about the best real-time shader I've seen and I really wanted to use it! I'm definitely behind the times in terms of graphics card tech. I'll just chalk this one up as another pro when deciding whether or not to buy a new card. Just to show you what's actually happening when I try to load…
That's not a (display) bug in Max, it's just how gamma works with a linear workflow (2,2). You have to reverse/de-gamma non sRGB spaces like your normal and displacement maps or you get seams! Just put a "composite map" before your texture >> Advanced Options: RGB= Gamma/Contrast -> 2.2
The .223 is just a scaled up .222 bullet, same class as a .22 LR. Yes, quite a difference in cartridge length, but same class of caliber. Here is a pic of the official .22 LR dimensions: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:22_long_rifle.svg here is the .223 (which is not totally identical to the military 5.56) it is in…
Thanks everyone for the kind words and the great questions! Let’s dive in. Working in VR is truly like walking on a razor's edge. It’s a technical hell where every decision must be calculated ten steps ahead. Performance requirements (high resolution across two displays + high frame rates) leave no room for error, and you…
Here's where mine landed. You can just put this in a startup script. Also, change the font to Consolas in the Preferences | MaxScript tab. listenerBackgroundColor = (color 80 80 80) macroRecorderBackgroundColor = (color 40 40 40) macroRecorderTextColor = (color 147 179 210) pythonPromptColor = (color 240 95 146)…
@Xendance when you take it that far you would be better off performance wise to put more polys in your mesh or use tessellation and displacement. since that is a lot of instructions, for just one material and it could get expensive fast. just checked it and it takes 212 to 246 instructions to do that. so that is a lot of…
SSDs have really come down in price, something like this would be ideal and not kill your bank account: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=9SIA29P1EC5222&cm_re=samsung_ssd-_-20-147-248-_-Product Or even http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=9SIA2W01AZ5378&cm_re=samsung_ssd-_-20-147-247-_-Product if…
