Re: WIP - Let's call it Avalon for now
They look cool! I like the texture treatment. The ribcage shadow on the girl-bot is kind of strong, maybe model in some of that detail? The cord running from one forearm to another is probably going to cause problems when you start animating. It's either going to clip horribly into the body, or need to be rigged up on its… -
Re: New character: Hemiseraph WIP
hope you dont mind, here are some quick crits before i hit the sack. they aren't ment to sound cold. i'm just writing them fast. 1) The head is to tall all together you could scale it about .75 on the y axis and it would come across as better. 2) the nose bridge is very wide, and the nostrils are slightly wider than the… -
Re: Texture in Max's Viewport/UV Window - Questions
I had a look at the maxScript reference and couldn't find any commands for changing driver configuration settings. So I'm guessing the answer to binding it to a hotkey is no. And about the UV Editor gizmo, there's just the transform tool, no vieport gizmo. They took a cue from Photoshop for that one, but I still like using… -
Re: Tree making fast technique?
I think he means: Make a quad, and convert it to triangles, so there's an edge running from one corner to the other. Then using the quad's middle edge as the axis, rotate one of the triangles 90°. To see it in action, download the original Crysis SP demo. Once you install it, there will be an Editor folder where you… -
Re: Hard edge - highpoly
Yeah, straight lines is something i can never do - is there nothing like the photoshop feature where you can hold down Shift and it'll lock to the nearest axis you were painting on for ZBrush or Mudbox? All my attempts at really precise hard surfaces just end up a little too wobbly for my liking... I guess a good stencil… -
Re: Max 2010 - Performance
I'm also using max 2k9 but i have some annoying bugs. I downloaded the demo for max 2010 and it really has a bad perfomance. The load is slower aswell. The scanline renderer is also slower than never and is something totally weird. Some renders i usually do in ms, in max 2010 are minutes... no jokes, and it's only scanline… -
Re: Texture unwrapping for tileable textures
I've seen Justin's UV layout before in textures that both do and don't tile; the key is that one chunk (the Tiling bark) extends to both sides of the vertical UV space, meaning that the texture can allow for tiling without running into an inappropriate area, but since it only does it on one axis (vertical), you're allowing… -
Re: Generating Height Map
^^ The reason why I suggested Max and it's render to texture function is that you can set the minimum and maximum clip for your heightmap. You can avoid picking up a lot of those steep drops for the most part and you get the pieces you want. I also sometimes just scale the model on the up axis to get a larger range of… -

Re: Low Polygon Joints - What is the best way?
Ok gents, this is all good and well for elbows and knees. What about shoulders? Or thumbs? you know the joints that rotate in more than one plane? I'm having a hard time with shoulders right now. Perhaps you guys can post a couple pics with suggestions on how the geo should flow on the shoulders and maybe thumbs? They…
