Re: Questions about Cubemap
Max can display cubemaps in the viewport if you use the DDS cubemap format, and you use a DirectX shader. I was going to post an updated wiki page, but the server's crapping out. Here's the info, eventually I'll post it here in the wiki... ============================= A cubemap is six images that are mapped onto a cube.… -
Re: Monthly Noob Challenge January 2016 (36)
also i was planning my textures out, would 7 sheets seem a bit much for this? 1 for the archetectural features. 1 for the floor (512?) 1 for the pots, jars and crockery. 1 for the larger wooden features. 1 for the smaller wooden features. 1 for set dressing and soft objects. 1 for the cooker/metal pots,pans. i planned it… -
Re: Maxscript skin help
Yay! That sorted it. In the interest of meing nice, here is the script too. Why did I write this? Well, max 7 has a skin weight mirror facility. Unfortunatley the scale I have to work at means that the threshold value is often too small, and I always have a few weights that won't copy - 0.001 is too small, 0.002 is too… -
Re: Hand-painted Wells
Also, there is something very important about using non-square tiling textures. When you first do your UV projections, Maya / Max will do its best to project the face with a 1:1 ratio of the face to its UVs.... meaning a square face on a cube = square UV shell. With textures that have a 2:1 or 4:1 or 1:2 1:4 ratio (like… -
Re: maxscript to clear all texture references from a scene?
hmm it shouldn't Does it error out or take a while? How many objects are you using it on? Ive only tested on max 2009 edit: Here's a version with error checking to make sure you can only use it on the geometryClassmacroscript removeTextureMaps category:"BCTools" toolTip:"removeTextureMaps"( local getTextureSlots with… -
Re: Some good books to read (I wants to be smarted)
If you're interested in questions about the self and a bit in religion, I suggest some of this stuff: -God and other minds by Alvin Plantinga. You'll learn much about the classical proofs for god and natural atheology (problem of evil and that stuff). It's a piece of analytic philosophy, you'll hardly find anything better… -
Re: Struggling to bake local position to vertex color in MAXscript / MCP for blendshapes in Unity
Mmh i'm not sure. The pivot will be at the center of the bouding box and not at the original place. Also if i only scale scale, object i guess i have to invert ratio. You can uncomment scale object to test it. What are roughly the scale values you have to put in unity so the teapot looks ok ? ( obj = $ bb_max = obj.max… -
Re: [Testing] Using Headus to pack Lightmap UV's
I use headus also and noticed this awhile back. The problem seems to be headus changing the order of the referencing groups when importing/exporting the obj from max to headus. g Box01f 1/1 3/2 4/3 2/4f 5/5 6/6 8/7 7/8f 1/9 2/10 6/11 5/12f 2/13 4/14 8/15 6/16f 4/17 3/18 7/19 8/20f 3/21 1/22 5/23 7/24 g Box02f 4/3 2/4 1/1… -
Re: vertex blending leaks
Same answer I posted at the unreal answers topic you linked: "Texture 1 and texture 5 are both driven by the alpha channel. Texture 5 is 1-alpha and texture 1 is alpha. They blend near 0.5. If you've painted with zero alpha for texture 2, then that alpha channel will wind up being interpolated across the border between… -
Re: INTO THE 3RD DIMENSION!
I lost nearly everything on my downstairs PC yesterday, Including the file for this guy... I'm pretty freaking bummed... Lotta work, gone, just freaking gone. Oh well no use moping around. I was planning on making my first bump map in Zbrush using the model I made. I've been toodling around for awhile learning some of the…
