Re: Spark of Re-imagination
good point about the ground pipes not matching up with the style of the ceiling pipes. I'll have a play around with some more uniform spiral patterns around the base to counter it and see if i can get it more inline with what's going on in the center and the top. As for the lava, i feel the red is just about right… -
Re: Blender : low viewport performance
Newer graphics cards are awful at editing models. They're optimized for smaller batches like you'd find in a game rather than single batches of millions, and expect batches to not change once uploaded. 3DS Max is pretty much unusable on my machine with complex models as there's a 1-2sec hang after any change to a model… -
Re: Blend Shape Animation UV Problem
Got it working. Holy smokes, I can't believe what I did just worked. Definitely in foreign territory when it comes to all this new fangled blend shape transfering mesh attributes stuff. Anyway, for people who stumble upon this: In your modelNameShapeOrig node, uncheck "Intermediate Object" on all your blend shapes (not the… -
Re: Pelt Mapping! How is it?
Vig I kind of understand the concept of the seams, my problem is with the how they implemented pelt. I say I kind of understand cause I don't feel I'm great at unwrapping in general, but that said, apps like chilliskinner more or less worked on the same concept of plotting seams. It's a cool little script written around… -
Re: Xmas time = New 24" monitor!
I bought a dell 2408WFP and i ended returning it to dell, too bad for what i expected. Coming from a CRT, you may be so disappointed as me. The dell mounts a s-pva panel and it presented so many bugs for the european version. It had like flashes and not the standard refreshing mode of lines going down. This is something… -
Re: I wrote a new maxscript
-- This script will bake lighting into textures. -- It clones the mesh and breaks it into new objects by materialID -- It loads a lighting rig -- Rick Stirling February 2005 -- Get the model originalObj=$ -- Clone it myclone = copy originalObj --copy the original object -- Hide original select originalObj hide $ -- Load… -
Re: 3D Noob alert! UV Texturing and Normal mapping
I'll try to give you an answer: As far as I know there are three typical workflows when it comes to normal mapping 1: You create a color texture in photoshop, make a greyscale heightmap of it (white up, black down) and use that to create a normal map, either using NVIDIAs or xNormals Photoshop plugin or you can use… -
Re: Nintendo DS Racingscene
hawken, I hear ya. I was making referance to the childerns book "The Little Engine That Could". In my eyes the DS is already a succes with Animal crossing, Advance Wars 3, Nintendogs, MarioDS and the entire back catalog of games I have for the GBA. Any games that come out after this (like Kingdom Hearts) will be icing on… -
Re: median value of height?
You can get the median by finding the halfway point between the outputs of a min/max node As you say, you can get the mean (ish) by blurring or downsampling. If you want the mode or some sort of weighted value you're kind of buggered - any kind of histogram analysis is highly impractical in designer -
Re: The Bi-Monthly Environment Art Challenge | November - December (93)
@LeoNexus6 Glad you found it useful :) @Sarp Cool that you're joining the challenge. I think each of the press designs has quite the distinct personality, so I'm not sure how successful one can mix parts without creating something new entirely. But hey, if that's the goal you're setting yourself, I'm curious to see what…
