Re: How To Win
hey pior thanks for sharing that, i ll try to take a look at that book you mention. As for concepting I think that yes, starting with 2d is maybe the best choice. But frankly that is also depending of the person and how comfortable he feels with the xyz software. I like starting on paper, then scan, photoshop "fix" the… -
Re: Landscape Collision Errors
What if you want more vertices in the Landscape? Higher resolution relative to your characters. The only way I could find to do this is to set the XYZ scales to smaller numbers. I haven't tested the collision yet though. -
Re: UV mapping for terrain techniques?
Ark: Im taking a shot at it now. I have the XYZ projection and Axis based falloffs worked out i just need to glue it all together. No promises yet but it doesnt seem all that complex. -
Re: Unity Shader(Normal Rim light)
ah ok this is some great stuff guys...but in all honesty I forgot to mention the real reason my shader was giving that error was asside from a herp derp node connection...I had shader model 2 enabled instead of 3. I was hitting the limit captain! and I didnt even know it! and talon you where correct I had a Split Command… -
Re: MaxScript Help needed.
it´s not that i can´t change the text of a label(and the property is caption). The problem is, that i have to click on a button to update the value, but i want it to change if i select an object, change it for example. this "for obj in selection do" what happens if i run the script and nothing is selected? My problem is,… -
Re: 3ds Max - Locking Camera Completely?
Here's a few things I do to get around that problem: 1. Select camera > Goto Hierarchy panel > Link Info panel > check all the locks on Move XYZ, Rotate XYZ. 2. Disable the viewport with the camera in it. Hit 'D' on keyboard. 3. In the camera viewport hit P to switch it to perspective (dont worry its still the same view as… -
Re: (Noob) Baking High Poly Normal Map to Low Poly Normal Map
The high poly does not have to be UV mapped to bake a normal map. There are very few situations where you will ever need to UV map a high poly mesh. A normal map is a 2D representation of the high poly's physical surface curvature in relation to your low poly's surface curvature and vertex tangents baked into the UVs of… -
Re: 3DS Max - Move Along Normal
I'm not exactly sure what you're trying to do, but it sounds like the bevel tool will do what you need? * Set the upper parameter to 0.0 and adjust the lower "outline" to scale the polys without moving them away from the surface. * Set the lower parameter to 0.0 and adjust the upper "height" to move them away or into the… -
Re: ive tried everything and my normal map just isnt working XD help pleaseee!!! :(
The UVs are just a representation of the geometry coordinates in 3D space(XYZ=UVW) so the geometry faces don't have a 'physical' connection to the UV faces. Flipping a geo face will not flip its 'twin' UV face. In Max there is a feature called 'select inverted faces'. I don't know the equivalent in Maya. Perhaps a Maya… -
Re: UVW Random Stitch Error
Make sure the vertices are welded in XYZ space as well as UV space.
