Re: Hard Surface Modeling - Sculpt or don't sculpt
Mix of both, some things are easy to edit in zBrush, some in Max. For instance; ropes, chains, bandages, things that wrap around, I do in Max. UV map, create a tiled 16-bit displacement then use that in zBrush Noise Maker to add the detail. I really don`t wanna fuss around trying to get things wrapped around an object in… -
Re: [Help] Collision mesh not exporting properly
Fixed it! All I had to do was to scale up the mesh drastically in Maya before I exported. The units I worked with in Maya were too small, so UDK couldn't recreate their coordinates since they were to small to fit in the render values. I also remade the entire collision mesh from cubes in order to achieve a cleaner result;)… -
Re: (Solved) How do I resize custom toolbars (3DS Max 2018)
Main menu > Customize > Preferences > General tab and under the UI DIsplay section on the right, you can uncheck "Fixed Width Text Buttons" or set it to a higher number of pixels. Doing that will grow the width of the entire bar and it might be better to drag/dock the custom toolbar to the top or bottom. You can also edit… -
Re: [MaxScript]Subdivision Reversion
So, you are saying that even the point order would be the same between the original highpoly, and a "re-turbosmoothed" mesh obtained after applying a regular subdivision algorythn to the mesh that your script spits out ? If so - very cool !!! I wonder if all apps create point orders the same way tho - it'd be interesting… -
Re: Add/change geometry to uvmapped model
There's a preserve uv mapping button under Edit Geometry in the editable poly, but it doesn't work too well if you're adding geo. Like what Perna said the unwrap info is stored when you collapse your modifier stack. You can also physically save your unwrap when you have a UV modifier applied. Then load it after you've made… -
Re: VSM PCF shadows missing since jan?
Turning off the streaming doesn't turn off mip mapping. It just stops the textures from being unloaded and fully loads them every time. Making the compression controllable by you makes the compression controllable by any end user who's prepared to edit the INI files. I've never found this to be a big deal since most people… -
Re: Questions about hard surface modelling with mesh smooth...
One thing that you can try is deleting your turbosmooth modifier, convert the mesh to an editable mesh, then covert the mesh to an editable poly, then reapply the turbosmooth modifier. I am really not sure why it is but on occasion I have had max do some odd things with smoothing and somehow going through this process… -
Re: Problems with lowPoly tree
Solution depends on your modeling software, and your engine. I solved this in 3dsmax by using the Edit Normals modifier, and the game engine had support for user-edited vertex normals. Here's a picture. Another solution would be to disable lighting completely (like your left tree), and use vertex color to add shading. You… -
Re: 3d modeling on iPad
Almost forgot to mention this. Let me shoot you guys straight. Most users won't mind because they aren't going super high-res. But there is a hardware limitation on the vertex-count of each model of about 65,535. The iPad can't have models with more than 64k vertices (even if it could they would render ungodly slow). So if… -
Re: Maya's default viewport shading to Blender
What viewport are you using? Generally speaking Viewport 2.0 is best for this type of stuff. Most people avoid using the default lights. Just create a light and the default light is effectively disabled. You can also create a lighting setup to your exact wants/needs and save it as a default scene file. Then when you create…
