Re: public speaking
One thing I really disliked about conference talks, is that most of the time the speaker talks shit and only mention maybe 1 or 2 things that really interest you on the subject but never elaborate on it. If anything dude, think of something you'd like to see if you went to a talk on the character creation pipeline. Demo… -
Re: My first sculpted model, generic male
well i have done a few models before, but most of that was years ago.. back then i did a couple of low poly models i'd say about 5-6, most of them were really bad, the last one looked ok. those were done in 3dsmax when i had the chance to use it. a few weeks ago i started using blender, i modeled about 3 models before i… -
Re: 3DSMax8 baking normalmaps in greyscale
I agree it catches way too many people off guard, they should just disable it and give a progress bar instead. To explain it: That's the actual output of all the maps combined (same thing as running a "complete map). What it shows is a full render of the object, then based on your settings it saves out pieces of that… -

It's funny Pior, now there are so many free game engine… -
Re: Sigh... it's one thing when people you don't know online promote game piracy...
Have you always been a narrow minded prick or did you go to school and get a masters? ha =P First off I buy my software or its bought for me, I don't pirate. I went from learning on free versions "Maya PLE & GMax" to a full copy of Maya that I purchased, then to a studio bought copy of 3dsmax. If you want to boil it down… -

Re: .md5mesh smoothing error (this time with triangles)
What you're saying is not true. You will find that if you export an MD5mesh (with 1 smoothing group over the whole mesh in 3dsmax), and then apply a flat grey material (no normalmap or special parameters, just a diffuse/spec pass), the mesh will be perfectly smooth. The difference arises if you use "unsmoothedTangents" in… -

Re: Grid Maps for checking Texel Density
http://uploader.ws/upload/200808/testgridcirclesdx7.png I used this one for a good long while, until I made my own. Mines highly personalized and makes me laugh every time I see it. It also does exactly what I need it to do. If you load the checkerboard pattern into an empty slot in a blank file and save that file as… -
