How many materials can multimaterial hold and operate without shuting down whole 3ds max?
Hi, 3dsMax 2018 sp.3 I have 600-slot multimaterial(5% of slots is occupied) and this simple function which adds new materials into it: -- tempMatDataItem -- structure which holds material and other info matLibrary.materialList[tempMatDataItem.newMatID] = tempMatDataItem.mat<br> The problem is that many times when this… -
Re: Combining multiple UVs and exporting to UDK
Of course it would, you're reducing the size of each texture in that case. The more pertinent question is, would you be gaining performance in some way by using a 2k atlas vs 4x 1k textures. If you're always going to be seeing all 4 textures together, then yes, you should atlas them into a single texture, to save on… -
Re: The Future of the Dota 2 Workshop
I think we're talking about the same thing - views are paramount. So, as said further up, which was a good point - sets should occupy one slot, and be judged as a set, and not individual items. I know Valve likes to approve parts of a set, but it clutters the field needlessly. I realize they get their items regardless of… -
Re: How much time do you dedicate to finish a 3d model or finish a whole project?
I'm finding I move a lot faster modeling, when I work on it for a few days, and then I compare screenshots of how much time I got to each step and how can I employ new strategies to make my work go faster. For example, in an environment I'm working on, I specifically want to put all the attention to detail towards houses… -
Re: need some help with sprite eye / expression techniques
I looked at a model from Pokemon today, their method seemed good as it didn't involve any alpha. It looks like they just assigned a separate material and texture to the selection of faces around the eye, and changed the UV coordinates for that patch to different spots on that facial expression atlas. Any opinion on… -
Re: Upgrading or building a new PC? This is the thread for you!
Re: monitors I found I very much prefer Ultrawide: More flexibility in window arrangement, no annoying 'break' in the display, no color mismatch between displays (might just be mine though), comparably lower power use than two devices and less space occupied on the desktop - e.g. less cabling and only one foot in the way.… -
Re: UE4 - Project: Star Bounty
Hi sorry for the late reply, been pretty much occupied by my job at the moment. (That and recharging at home by melting my face off with video games) I don't really have anything else to show past the last video I've made in this thread, the changes past it I could never really implement as thing towards the end of the… -
Re: Custom .308 Sniper Rifle
When people talk about "optimizing UVs", they usually mean ensuring the coordinates fit neatly within the square texture, with as little empty space as possible. It'd help if you posted the texture sheets. One thing to keep in mind is that every piece doesn't need to have the same scale. Important parts, parts that are… -
Re: 3D Character Artist Seeking Portfolio Feedback
There is nothing wrong with having a printable or offline portfolio, sure the website or artstation is always good too, mainly if you want to have more followers. My critique are more into a design of the portfolio then the artwork itself, you should put the pictures as big as the sheet, occupy the best you can and have… -
Re: [UDK] Research Lab
I'm in love with this piece. Something about the atmosphere and lighting, and there are many small touches that gives the space the feeling of really being occupied by someone. The coffee mug on the desk for instance (lol just noticed the polycount logo as I was typing that) really pulls it together. The second two zoomed…
