Re: PSA: Forum Tricks
ERIC CHADWICK This is pretty buggy. Especially when someone's name has a SPACE in it. Like yours :P @"Eric Chadwick" Many times it turns into this (when you hit Enter when the dropdown menu shows up). Though still does the exact same thing. Nice. Also, how does name tagging work if I edit a reply ? Say, I post something,… -
Re: 3ds Max mesh issues (pinches and warbles)
"What causes this phenomenon and how do you fix it? I model in 3ds Max and suddenly I have my mesh acting strangely after applying a turbosmooth. It looks fine in the low poly" You need to refine the vertices of your mesh. Right now it look like a sandwich. Select a row of vertices and use x, y, or z to straighten the… -
Re: Abstract skybox creation
Hey that's a cool trick Kryzon! Though if you're working in 3ds Max, a faster/easier way is to put a camera at the origin, construct your scene however you like around it (sphere with a equirectangular pano on it, and 3d paint the seams, layer other maps or geom inside it, etc.), then use the Reflect/Refract map to… -
Re: Meet the Animators - Introduce Yourself
Hey Abid! how you been? you're in WS3 with David Lam right? The slow down is done with Maya's Trax editor. picked that up from David's WS3 recording from last block. I don't know if he's gotten to talking about that yet for this block. Trax editor lets you do light editing and time scaling directly in Maya without having… -
Re: Maya 6 or Below?
Wow! Thanks for the idea. I actually have some books sitting around here from that time. I'll check that out. EDIT: One of my books had Maya 6 PLE in it, but it kept asking for an activation code, saying I needed to Register with Alias. Well, of course that didn't work. So I poked around in the darkest depths of the… -
Re: AO errors in 3ds max
Well, I usually add a Projection cage to my Low poly mesh in Max (in the modifier dropdown). Extrude the cage until it fully encompasses the High poly mesh. Also make sure you add an Edit Mesh modifier in-between the Editable Poly and the Projection cage so xNormal can export it correctly. Then export the low poly as .sbm… -
Re: Max - Hotkeys Quad Not working - Question
I uploaded my Quads here: http://www.mediafire.com/?0dy4raoyhlwl8j9 Could someone check and see? Ace Select is the problem I'm having, and as you will see, Ace Edit is not. For some reason, I cannot change the keys again. EDIT: Anyone else having the same issue, to solve it you have to save you mnu's and restart Max. Load… -
Re: Blender interaction/hotkey presets
Thanks for the feedback, I'll forwards the shortcuts. Just tested this and yes, it's possible to edit the shortcuts even after picking some other interaction preset. EDIT: as morte pointed out, go to File -> user preferences -> input and modify the shortcuts. Has anyone tried the current 3dsmax preset? Things like the view… -
Re: Normal Map problems
I've actually fixed it, but I'm not sure how Here's what I did: Reset both the high and low's XForm then converted both to Editable Poly again. Then I applied a meshsmooth to the high poly object (it didn't have any Sub-D's), but I popped it off the stack before I redid the projection for the normal map. So it was either… -
Re: Left 4 dead 1/2 off sale this weekend!
If I want things to go my way, I'll go pwn nubs in Savage 2. If I want to be taken by surprise and completely dragged down kicking while facing unsurmountable odds, I play Left 4 Dead! GMT +1 is me. But I couldn't tell you when I usually play. So far it varies a lot, haven't found a time slot to fit L4D multiplayer into…
