Re: (Maya) Nonlinear bend issue
Doesn't help if he wants to bend something already modeled like a tiling section of a cave. I run into that problem a bunch, and this image shows how I handle it. Just incase someone reading this doesn't know for the second step, hold d to toggle the pivot editing mode, and hold the v key to snap it to existing geometry.… -
Re: BORDERLANDS 2
Thanks Stefan for those codes! I got some awesome purpley guns. Too bad I got pistols and snipers which I don't use with my Gunzerker :( On that note, I LOVE my Zerker! I'm level 22 and going for the Rampage tree. I have dual assaults for one slot and then a slag SMG with an awesome fire shotty in my other slot which is… -
Re: Portfolio Website
megalmn2000 - thanks for the feedback.

Re: Low Poly Hardware Specs
(disclaimer - all the following info is apparent to anyone with a copy of the noted game) ... 128x128 isn't a "maximum" size for the PSP hardware - on our last PSP game, you'll see several environment textures scattered around the place at that res x2, and a couple at even bigger than that. 128 is however a good guide for… -
Re: Lightmaps seem sucky.
Try adding the lightmap and then multiplying it again, or try multiply with a lerp. There's all sorts of things you can do with the shader. You can always play around in shaderfx to get the look you want, then write the actual shader code. I've found it's much faster to prototype and experiment that way. Also, if you find… -
Re: Triangulate when baking normals?
The issue wasn't that the edges would turn themself back, like reset themselfs and you could visually see this, however it seemed turning edges had no effect on the rendered output with RTT. Sometime when i have time i can do a little test case and see if this is a real issue or something i am making up. On a side note it… -
Lightmap Density based on camera distance?
Trying to figure out how to set lightmap resolution based on distance. Im working on an isometric scene and since the camera is further back, Im assuming I dont need as high lightmap resolution? Though no matter what camera distance, the Lightmap Density view mode will show me the same color coded meshes no matter what… -
Maya/Arnold colour variation within MASH-distribution
Hey there kind people of polycount, so I've been trying around with various forms of "distribution" of objects in Maya/Arnold. Mostly nParticles and MASH. For the time being I've found MASH to be the most practical out of the two. However, my question concerns the variation of colours within the instances created. A very… -
[Maya 2009] Multi Layered texture workflow?
Hi! I am playing with the multi-layered texture node under Maya to paint a level with lot of different texture files. I first tried with vertex color and layered texture, it allows me to apply a first texture to the object (example : earth texture) and then to paint over a second layer another texture (example : grass… -
Stability and performance issues with designer 5.5.1
Hello, I've been having serious issues with stability since moving up to 5.5.1 - it was sluggish on previous versions of 5 but this is bad enough that I'm doubting whether to continue using it at all for my project. I'm curious as to whether anyone else has experienced any of the following issues. I can't see anything on…
