Re: [CE3]Thief FanArt - Asylum Mess Hall
Thanks guys for the feedback. @Cay I'll try to have some more gradient intensity from front to back. It's pretty much only some vertex alpha tweaking in 3dsmax, so it a fast test to make and well I must say that it will probably help to make the focus a bit more on the stage. @Matt Hey thanks, I still need to polish the… -
Re: Project Workflow (Im all over the place)
To elaborate slightly and to give an example. This village I am talking about will feature 10-20 unique buildings with quite a lot of duplications and modularity. However I would like vast variety in elevation to the village, I would also like dedicated paths, stairs, streams running through it and perhaps others that… -
Re: What is your workflow, for developing 3D Assets,either Characters and Hard surface?
Hi , I would say i am a hard surface artist and i specialize in vehicles. My workflow is like this, Model the part in 3dsmax i make the low poly first and then clone it and do the highpoly version of it. If you dont know you use a low poly and high poly part to bake a normal map, which makes the low poly have the same… -
Re: Modern Architecture
i think half of them modern architecture buildings are somewhat ugly in my opinion, a house should be purposeful (which i think is a maximum usability of the room the house contains) and shouldnt contain weird shapes (like a house from an architect student ive seen recently, he made two houses and connected them with a… -
Re: Shading artefacts only in Source engine (normal map related?)
Hey Alec, Thanks for the reply. Yes, the model was triangulated before baking, hoping to avoid flipped edges causing problems. I was thinking of an inverted channel too when I first saw the problem but I've tried a couple of times inverting the green channel. I guess I'll give it another round of tries inverting both green… -
Re: How do you apply directional textures to curved UVs?
You should tell us software your using for more specific help.(from the image I'm guessing UVmaster in Zbrush) You can unwrap curved islands several ways (again same result, different tools in different software) 3dsmax - you can unfold from strip or peel>straighten>relax internal edges Headus UV Layout - rectilinear tool… -
Re: Scaling Asorted Custom Models
What you need to be aware of is the concept of "object transformations". For instance, if you import a model into a 3d program and notice that it is opening as 10 times bigger than your reference character, you obviously want to scale it down but you also want to make sure to apply (also sometimes referred to as "reset")… -
Re: MAX9: Xref object's materials aren't showing up properly
Yep, its ONE of the reasons I stopped using Xrefs. Just wait until it refuses to update the model and gives you a little X instead, and the only way to clear it is to restart 3dsmax. I'd rather cut my pinkies off then suffer working with Xrefs again... Autodesk spread a rumor around that they fixed and upgraded the Xref… -
Re: Maxscripts Use .mzp or .exe installer? What about version control?
TexTools works for me in that way that I develop and fix scripts from a local directory (somewhere on the desktop, myDocuments or some usbDrive). upon executing the main TexTools...ms script it imports all the other scripts (for every tools and macroscript) using fileIn ... and because the last file I executed was that… -
Re: Stupid Max Upgrade question.
The Portable License Utility, isn't meant so you can resell it. It's meant so you can port your lic between a few machines you own. Like your laptop and your desktop, or work to home for the weekend. The documentation and the way it works make it pretty clear that its not intended as a way to resell. The legal owner does…
