Re: Max & Maya -Familiar Help-
Wow, so many questions :P 01 - Realtime Mirroring Make a duplicate of the object using "instance" setting and set scale to -1 in x (normally). There are some gotchas with this workflow to watch out for which you can read about here: http://www.polycount.com/forum/showthread.php?t=82052&highlight=mirroring 02 - UV Selection… -
Re: Creative Fantasy Writing
Swearing is ok, assuming you can pull it off without it sounding trite, or forced. If you must use it, though, I'd suggest limiting it to dialogue; leave it out of the narration/internal monologue. Additionally -- and this is more of a pre-emptive bit of advice -- if you're going to have swearing, please don't go all… -
Re: How do you use IRO for opaque materials?
specular reflectance is equivalent to IOR for our purposes so you're using it either way. for a metallic roughness model: - on metallic surfaces it's a function of metalness value and basecolor - on non-metals it's either equivalent to acrylic/paint or defined by a separate texture (dielectric specular level - or just… -
Re: BRAWL2 [Character] Sodom, Fabi_G
Long time no update, feels like work has taken over my life :sweat_smile: Alternative Outfit Ideas 'Humungus' Pyro Style Something in the direction of 'Mad World' - black and white even?! Or hand-painted diffuse, like Quake skins? Minimal Progress Since last update, I tweaked the model some. Tried different poses to get… -
Re: Best practices when creating assets specifically for Nanite
- I like to keep meshes 1 million or less just because much larger slows down iteration and import times. -Try to use mostly continuous meshes and avoiding really large polygons is ideal. If you have a pile of small rocks for example, your better off booleaning it together or shrink wrapping a grid on top of it. Culling is… -
Re: Are 3ds Max's Modeling Tools Good Enough for Us?
honestly i have barely any problems with the max default toolset. as a hard surface modeler quad chamfer would indeed make my life much easier, but now that i have max set up the way i want it, i can produce clean subd meshes quickly using just the default max 2009 toolset. so i agree with the rest. if you are going to… -
Re: Building my Portfolio - Need your Feedback ;)
rogelio: I didnt think this was a big deal, but you're obviously right. Making those wings was really time consuming so i wasnt too keen about changing them again. I'm now trying to bend those wings into a sphere like shape to make it look more like a real hand protection. May i ask how you would approach a redesign of… -
Re: UPCP is Back and Needs You!
I think something that would be kind of cool and semi-achievable would be that Trial of Champions dungeon in WoW. For people who don't know. It's one arena. Circle shaped. There are enemies lined around the outer part of the arena. They are not attackable, they take their turns. All players jump on their horses and joust… -
Re: Modo 601
Been putting 501 through its paces last few days while waiting on the 601 demo to be released. It's better then I thought it would be in some ways, and worse in others. A few points of interest for those looking at it as a replacement for Max or Maya The default UV tools are not nearly as efficient as those found in Max… -
Re: Help with Character modeling
Hoo boy. Okay, first off your topology is a big ol mess. Probably the most important lesson you need to learn about modeling is how to control your topology. I can see you have issues where an edge loop you need in one area goes all the way around your model and is just wasted geometry in another area. That's an indication…
