Re: Need suggestion on render to texture alpha depth issue
Distort both into a semi-flat shape, apply planar UVs, use the ortho camera method to bake, then remove the distortion. 3ds Max's modifier stack is perfect for this, just select both high and low meshes, and add a FFD modifier. This IS 3ds Max, right? (it's best to put your software in the title, see… -
Re: [P&P] - What are you working on? 2008 Edition
Get the meshtools + cspolytool scripts from www.scriptspot.com, set up hotkeys and quad menus then press ctrl+x to get maximum screenspace ;) This does mean you have to know what you're doing though since the modifier menu goes away... Having said that, you can hide everything but the modifier menu in the customize menu.… -
Re: Helena from DOA (sarah carter) wip
Yay!!! I figured out what was causing the problem above... For a long time I've had a little technique where I slap an edit poly modifier on top of a characters modifier stack to delete out body polys hidden by clothes (in order to optimize the poly count). Turns out actorx doesn't much care for this, and once I removed it… -
Re: modelling shirt collars
Modelling it should be easy, I would have thought. Flat plane, cut and angle in a V shape over on itself, Bend modifier around the neck, Shell modifier to give it some depth, Turbosmooth to make it look organic. Then if it looks too sharp and angular, remove some polys from the control mesh until it's more organic. If it's… -
Re: need a cut tool that keeps normals as they were pre-cut
Sorry, I don't know any advanced cut tool. But If I have to modify mesh after normal map generation I usualy edit normals by myself (yes its quite nonaccurate, but it woks most time). In max there is Edit Normals modifier (must be last thing before export, because every operation will ruin it). And I believe that Maya has… -
Re: Why isn't parallax mapping used more?
Its not like displacement... Parallax is a visual trick that does not modify the geometry, and therefore the silhouette neither. Know those "3d stickers" in real life? Its kinda like those. Displacement modifies the position of vertices. If tessellation is enabled too, it creates new vertices on the fly and offsets those… -
Re: Nvidia hairworks VS haircard
AMD's TressFX is more popular due to being open source and because the Playstation and Xbox consoles being built on AMD tech. Most companies modify it to suit their needs such as with Horizon Zero Dawn, or certain squareEnix games (though they call their modified version of it 'Pure Hair'). The companies that use Hairworks… -
Re: Exporting wire paramters from Max to Unity or Unreal
I have no idea if they can be imported and digested by unity somehow, I kinda doubt it. I think what you actually want is a way to turn wire parameters into c#. But I don't think that exists yet. I'm sure you know, character controllers and camera scripts have actual code you'd want to look at as they modify the transforms… -
Re: Reduce internal loops and keep the same normal map?
You probably won't have any issue with the triangulation being different if you do the same step every time. but it might just be quicker to replace the bricks with a substitute modifier. If I grasp the current state of what you have in front of you. I think it would work like, make your geo changes to the "original",… -
