Re: Material Editor Questions!
for your mirroring, will the texture tile? Within the texture properties (double click your texture), you can set it to CLAMP (edge pixels repeat for infinity), WRAP (default tiling), or MIRROR, which will flip the texture on every tile. You can set this on X and Y individually, so you can wrap Y and mirror X if need be.… -
Re: How would you (perfectly) map a tiled texture to a tabletop in maya?
First of all, you guys are just amazing to help me out like this. I've never been so glad to find a site as I am for having found polycount. Ok, so I'm pretty sure I got it. Marine's suggestion worked perfectly, and for some reason I wasn't figuring out the usefulness of "sewing" on my own. In this case, "sew and move" was… -
Re: Mudbox 2009
Don't know if this is useful info for folks, but at my studio we're debating between committing to Mud or Z and one of the potentially deciding factors is that Autodesk is apparently very good about network licenses and Pixologic, for whatever reason is being very difficult about that. Any one else have trouble getting… -
Re: Heroes thread!
I watched the last episode last night... This show has really hit rock bottom. I know they needed to wrap things up, and it was really obvious that they were trying to wrap things up. They basically combined 2-3 episodes worth of story into the one. The time travel stuff is flawed beyond all recognition, bringing people… -
Re: Free Epic Lewtz! Six swords
Awesome crits, moose. Changing the bandaging / wraps on the swords won't be too difficult because I have them on their own layers, so I'll see what I can do to make them pop more. I can also paint it some of their edges a bit more to have the individual wraps show more prominently. As for lightening the textures, I could… -
Re: Retopology in Maya
Again, I've been a beta tester for years, probably for as long as you've known about the app or maybe even more, I consider myself familiar with it. I've only said two things here: - the sketching stuff is good for lowres, simple stuff; but games are moving beyond that very faaast - the other tools and environment aren't… -
Re: texturing paired stuff
The texture resolution is dependent on the projects needs. If you aren't sure exactly what they are, it's better to work big because downsampling is not a problem but upsampling is. So if you work at 2048 you will have more flexibility in the case that you decide you need unique layout for each shoe. Once you get your… -
Re: Film made in Maya, want to render in Max.
I've had some bad experience with it. It doesn't work as good for me, as far as materials go. Maya's interface always drove me crazy, everything always seems too cluttered and broken... But if I'll have no choice, I probably will render it using Vray for Maya. =\ sjk - Thanks. I tried looking into alembic cache, and… -
Re: Monthly Community Noob Challenge November 2013 (13)
Higuh I tried a bunch of different things to get the floor texture, but what ended up working out the best was the method L3XICON pointed out. I used wrap mode on my brushes in zbrush and just sketched the cracks on a plane using the clay brush to get the basic shapes then used the clay brush to build up the stones and… -
Re: Sketchbook: Alex Javor
Retopo completed!!! New, low poly model weighing in at 9k quads. I am imagining this as a hero character for a AAA game, so I think that is not a bad range. I've read that many AAA characters are as much as 50k? Not really important for me right now, but just want to make a note of this for future. I had some success with…
