Re: aquaboy
[edit : double frogpost here ] Haaa sorry Gok I thought it was already more widespread, I was picturing people studying like mad http://wip.global-illusions.com/d3tut/quick%20Tutorial%20-%20Doom3_PPM.htm I might speak with Vahl about a little something to add ; basically, there is a way to avoid the LWO step by using ASE… -
Re: Skin weights affected by UVs?
the vertex index order is very importing for skinning - once you change it the skin table is not related exactly anymore. With UV you have the build in preserve UV and change UV as well options in the editMesh and edit Poly objects. Meaning that they are much more harmonizing in max as skin data - because as you edit the… -
Re: weird Max UV problem
I'm guessing the model was exported and worked on in another program before being brought back into max? If so, what app? You might have some other export options that don't screw with the vert tables. Avoid OBJ if you can, the 3dsmax obj in/out plugin is notorious for rewriting vert tables any way it sees fit. I suggest… -
Re: MAYA: use vertex colors as blendshape weights?
Jason Osipa kind of covers doing this in his book Stop Starring Chapter 9 and 12. He builds a control board that uses expressions to drive blend shapes and wrinkle maps at the same time. But he plugs each bump into the previous one and dials in each bump 0 - 1.0 as he needs them. So you might have to do some hypershade… -
Re: A question to other professional artists
I don't have a job yet, still studying, but my mother thinks 3dsmax is a game, when I jump ingame for 1 minute to test a map and she walks by she thinks I'm playing the game for 5 hours non-stop. My dad just looks at the pictures but he shows respect and is quite interested, in other words, he leaves me alone :p My… -
Re: Maya CgFx Shader Offering
Hmmm its a bit difficult to follow for me, and its not very efficient (lots of matrix calculations in the pixel shader), but since it is for Maya and not real-time use I guess its fine. Congrats, though, you are the first person I've seen successfully write a Maya Real-Time shader. CG is similar enough to HLSL, with minor… -
Re: Environment WIP :: Also need help
I really like this the hand painted textures you have here they have a great watercolor look to them. This is a great environment piece. As for the Unreal Engine, I am currently working on a Medieval themed MOD for the MSUC contest using the technology. Its quite a change coming from Source engine. The material editor is… -
Re: UNFOLD3D Gen 6
It's $400. I'd recommend buying a copy of Silo, pocketing the $250 you'd save, and actually get a good sub-d modelling and sculpting package into the bargain. Sounds like a no-brainer to me? Also, you can get a pretty good approximation of the "pin and relax/unfold" workflow they demonstrate in Unfold3D, using 3dsMax with… -

Re: [Blender] DECALmachine: surface detailing using mesh decals
Hi! Love your addons. made me switch to Blender (next to the fact that my loathing of 3dsmax and it's outdated and rotten core exceeded a certain threshold after over 17 years of working with it). Just one question, hoping not to come of as impatient: do you have a rough eta on when you are going to support newer builds of…
