NDO sculpt mode
Hi guys, i was trying to use the sculpt mode in ndo to tweak a layer of a preset generated normalmap. I cannot find a way to paint neutrally. I either paint with brush and add whatever is the opacity setting. What i'd like to do is to overwrite the pixel opacity value so i work only in the depth provided from the diffuse… -
Re: XSI/3DS Max/Lightwave users: question re: nurbs
i haven't read everything but... -I'm not sure what you mean with 'true SubD' ? is there a fake SubD ?. Think i have been missing something. SubD lets you start with whatever you want (a box, a spline, an existing lowpoly model), it's just a toggle that goes from polygons to SubD and back anytime. You can usually do the… -
Re: SDF. what do you think of it?
@gnoop, it just occurred to me that you've been using them for years in designer, it just doesn't mention it Using max() blend mode to combine heightmaps is exactly the same as using min() on a pair of SDFs that represent the same surfaces.

Re: Cheap and efficient retopo app

I thought it was the updated version of the engine, so I rolled back the engine to 4.9.2 but the perspective view-port was still… -
3DS Max Qualified mode
I can not for the life of me get this to work. I'm using Max 2013. I've read through the thread that discussed this. A lot of people were having problems with it not working. Has this been resolved? Is there some secret to getting this to work? When I switch modes do I have to re-bake the Normal maps? So far I've noticed… -
Tablet: Pen or Mouse mode?

UDK Foliage Mode LOD Baking Problem
I've been struggling with UDK's Foliage Mode, because when I paint my trees and bake with lightmass, it doesn't bake my tree's LOD's correctly. (As shown in the image) --- Things I did and notes --- > Manually placing trees works with baking, but not my Foliage Mode trees > The base mesh of the LOD always bakes correctly…
