Re: Advance Normal Mapping in XSI
Don't think xsi uses a cage per say, you have to use the 'distance to surface'. Stupid question but did you hit the 'compute' button before you hit 'generate'? Doing this this should get you somewhere close with the 'distance to surface'. Never looked into the material id option, always exploded the mesh like Vahl said.… -
Re: WW2 Winter Nazi Research facility WIP
yep some great advice so far. I'm not really sure your ref is WW2 in style, its mostly cold war era, or ultra modern, a cell phone tower, really? To have a satellite dish you need a satellite in orbit, It would be another few decades before anyone put anything useful in space that could talk back. Radar and giant radio… -

Re: Scale two verts in Maxscript?
Try this. It's probably more complicated than it needs to be, but it works. Make sure you have more one vert selected in an editable mesh object before running it. <font class="small">Code:</font><hr /><pre>vertArr = getVertSelection $ as array posArr = #() newPos = 0 for i in vertArr do ( append posArr (getVert $ i) )… -
Re: Gex
You can improve your texture a lot by baking a light array (just lights in a circle or something) which is lighting the char evenly from top. You get a black to white image with lighting information, and you can simply put them ontop of your diffuse in photoshop, turn opacity way down until you like it. You will get subtle… -
Re: Sketchbook: Yuri
I decided to start working in blender again after finishing up what I did and deciding where I would be uploading my work online to artstation. Although I don't feel there's a need to share this part, here's my progress for today. I learned how to use the spacebar to search blender for the name of options I might not be… -
Re: Demon Rouge thing

Re: 3ds Max tricks
As far as finding tricks, one of the nicest ways I've found is to pick a part of Max and learn what it does. The Tools menu for example. The Array tool was super useful on several jobs, creating seating in a theater. Then for a curved theater I discovered the Spacing tool, to instance meshes along a curving spline. All… -
