Re: Autodesk, Pixar and Open Subdivs
Turbosmooth Pro uses elements of OpenSubdiv, I believe. It's a great modifier. It seems like it should have been an acquisition for Max 2014. Ptex is very interesting but it requires dense geometry, which we tend to avoid in-engine. I'm not sure when it will find an application in real-time tech. -
Re: Sketchbook: Robat
Oh wow, haha. Small world. I appreciate the advice man. I agree, clothing is still a definite weak point in most of my work. The current character I'm working on will have some flowing fabric elements, so I'll definitely spend a lot of time there. Thanks again. -
Re: Hello, stupid Max - Bevel/Extrude Dialog
I felt too stupid starting a new thread just with this question but as it's slightly related I'm going to ask here; How do I change the step increments for these tools when you just click and drag and can I change it in a way that's relative to the size of the element I'm using it on. -
Re: Middle East Environment - UDK
I like your current post processing more then the one beancube tweaked. The moving cloth is a really nice element in the scene, but i think you should turn the wind down a bit. Doesn't feel natural now. The stones needs more hard edges to. They'r way to soft. -
Re: Yet Another Handpainted Weapon
so far, things are looking good. you usage of color on the various parts make it easy to read and the silhouette is rather good :) Perhaps you can really punch out the look of the metal elements by using your dodge tool set on highlights (soft brush) and punch out the shine. -
Re: crazy max!
I've also had this happen on my work computer. I seem to remember that I was in some weird sub-object mode or I applied the modifier to a sub-object (I apply to elements a lot) rather than the object as a whole. I didn't need to restart or anything like that. /shrug -
Re: Art test for Nintendo Wii
I worked on a Wii production and for the main character poly count you're on the right way, 3000-3500k is acceptable. The only suggestion is to generally use 256x256 and 128x128 textures for the environment. 512x512 is a huge size and should be used only in case of big detailed elements such as a custom building facade… -
Re: Sci Fi Door texturing wip
Maybe I'm nit picking, but what is the reason for those rods? Throwing on greeble for the sake of greeble just confuses the eye. It's a door and it does one thing, divide one space from another. Every other element should work to sell the idea that it's a door. Keep it simple, keep it functional. -
Re: Dota 2 - Lycan
Look awesome!!! Only minor design changes I would suggest is he feels like his legs should be a tad taller, he's feeling a bit short for a big werewolf warrior, and it'd be great to see that awesome clumpy fur element repeated somewhere else as well on him. -
Re: ShaderFX 1.5 is now available
Is it possible to have ShaderFX output the resulting shader into a renderable material? I understand some elements (like SSS for example) cannot be setup with max material like that. But if it could at least set up a diffuse/normal/spec/color values, etc etc. Not sure if that's possible, but it'd be damn cool
