I'm finally done with the unwrapping. I've been doing some baking tests and after fixing a few issues here and there, it looks like everything is looking fine now. Even though this weapon looks fairly symmetrical, I was unable to mirror all that many UVs, which forced me to pack them real close to maximize the usage of the…
I tried doing it in Max to begin with and I didn't like it at all. I did it the SketchUp way and found it much nicer. You were right though, the artist didn't follow his perspective lines 100%. I'm having some issues importing it now though. I try and import the .dae and it gives me this error: While reading or writing a…
No. Add isn't overlay. If 0.5 is halfway between white and black, Overlay seems to take everything over 0.5 and adds it, and anything below 0.5 and subtracts it. The way the math nodes work is with basic math :P You add a pixel of 0.15 brightness to another with 0.35, you end up with a mid-grey pixel of 0.5. Multiply,…
Oki doki peepz, here is my 2000 tri model. Polycount right now is 1988. Added some edges for more form on the Head, Torso, Thigh and Foot. That took up all my polycount. I figured the arms and legs didn't need much work since they do not detract from the overall look, nonetheless I wanted to add an edge or 2 to give them a…
There's no gray area. You can't donate work that doesn't belong to you. An artist under that sort of contract doesn't own her work. She can't contribute to a community project unless her employer grants permission. I suppose she could hide weekend projects behind a pseudonym. Seems like a degrading position to be in,…
Another illusion is opinion. If everyones opinions or votes actually counted towards the way the govt ran things or collected data, there would be thousands of civil wars. For all it's worth if you have nothing to hide, they really dont think about you any more than a number in a book. It's just humans trying to think on a…
Motz - if they are looking to become a freelancing studio (I'm not sure that they are, they never really explained what they were for doing) then they will need to be able to get contacts. Getting these contacts will involve communication skills. The inability to not only spell, but foregoing the mere seconds that it would…
At work we need to convert a scene from 3DSMax - Vray to Cinema 4D - Corona. For this we bought a script from 3DtoAll, but it does not keep the VrayProxies. So I thought I could easily do this automated in Maxscript, but am failing. Maybe someone is up for helping me? Basically at the moment I want to addthe reimported…
Tickets go on sale tomorrow everyone. We usually have a good group of Polycounters there. "Just in case Saturday, May 16 isnt circled on your calendar, heres a quick reminder that BlizzCon tickets will be going on sale tomorrow. After our gnomish engineers here in Southern California get to work and finish making the…
I've ran the install a couple of times into Max7/STDPlugs and then been unable to find it under the utilities after clicking More , as directed by the help file. I've checked in the plugin manager and cant see it there, i can't even find a hint of it being installed in max7. I can see it on my toolbar, that its installed…
