along with that, the home button seems a lot deeper in your render than in person. The amount of shadow projected on it is really intense; more than I've ever seen on mine. I don't really see shadows on it actually, just curved highlights. Looking at your 4'th render clearly shows to me that it's way too deep. The edges of…
EarthQuake, my current workflow is exactly like you've discribed it ( + additional step : layering two more "fake AOs" generated in photoshop from the normal maps). Max is also capable of selecting multiple LP sources, that is what I always do, but the thing is that they render to separate maps, and should be combined in…
I wrote a script that can apply texel scale to a set of objects or calculated from 1 object. http://boards.polycount.net/showthread.php?t=60553 http://www.renderhjs.net/textools/ the part I mean in particular is: You basicly pick a object with the pick button and it will fill out the pixel size in squares and the…
When working with biped, the large set key button is useless. Either rotate the object a tiny bit and rotate it back (works great if you have rotate snap on) OR use the set key button in the biped "Key Info" rollout. Its the red button above "+TCB" OR copy paste a pose. As for the tangents it has its own method using the…
If you want to select backface vertices... shouldn't you still be in wireframe mode or at least rotate around to verify you have the correct selection? Rather than attempting a "blind selection". Usually I have the opposite problem ( selecting unwanted back face verts ) when I thought backFaceCulling was on. Personally, I…
Hey, I was looking for a better way to lock specific components in place and I ran across this on the maya help site: To lock vertices * In your scene, select the components you want to exclude from your transformation. * Select one of the transform tools. See Transform tools. * Do one of the following to lock an axis:* In…
Hi all, i'm in trouble again :( I solved my problem with the camera but now i'm dealing with mouse movements: first off i need to disable the mouse (i won't need it 'cause i'm moving with arrow keys and my point of view has to remaing still while moving). Than i need to toggle the mouse ON while i'm standing still, to look…
No problem. Also if you haven't found it yet, there should be a keyboard shortcut reference in the help folder. On 501 mine is in help/pages/modointerface/ Random tips: I'll use Control + 1 / 2 / 3 often, control + space to change viewport from perspective to side / front etc (Which makes the quad viewport useless imo),…
Here's what I posted on Shacknews: While that was in-game footage, I want to know more about the actual gameplay. Is it like Assassins Creed where I can simply move my analog and hold a button down to do all these sweet moves while running, or does each interaction require a button press? It's my understanding that…
just got gt5 and logitech force gt wheel today, been playing all day. The wheel takes a little getting used to but I think I got the hang of it after 4 hours. It's great fun to play with! A bit tiring though after so many hours, but then again, so is driving. The loading times are really terrible indeed and the UI…
