Showing off a mesh to best advantage?
My biggest problem to date on showing off a mesh has been I have no clue how to properly render it, so that the Normal Map and Specular Maps show up well. I use 3DS Max r7. Is there a simple way to render the model so that it shows off how it would look in-game? Or a freeware model viewer that is relatively easy to export… -
About UV mapping, best practices
Ive been doing this shit (3d gameart) for about 15 years now and lately there is a thing that bothers me. Making UVS is slow as fuck. Im primarily a hard surface artist working for videogames and it bothers me that I may spend a whole day making UVS for an asset, say, a machinegun. I use 3ds max basically for UVS with… -
Whats the difference between using baked AO map in the AO slot and just merging it into my texture?
I baked out my normal, AO, and height maps from hi to low poly in Marmoset. Now I've' imported all my meshes into a single Substance Painter file using an FBX and I could apply each of the the individual AO maps to the AO map layer or I could just add them as an additional layer for the diffuse texture layer. Any reason to… -

Re: Yuki Machi aka Snow City
That looks so ridiculously awesome. 1 crit though, the snow on the shields of the statues, why is there snow on the bottom of them when there is an overhang? Surely snow isn't that sticky, and if it is, wouldn't there be snow on the underneath of other bits too, like the panels on the door? -
Blender Tutorial: How to Easily Bake Assets in Blender using "Match by Name" With EZ Baker Addon
Hey guys. I decided to make a tutorial about a cool plugin made by a guy called AquaticNightmare. In this video, I show how to utilize a really comfortable, user-friendly addon called "EZ Baker". This add-on brings various buffs to Blender's weak baking system like "Match by Name" using _Low and _High suffixes, dynamic… -
Re: 3dsmax favors local-space normal maps?
I sent the file off a while ago, but I think our mail server is slow right now. I'm using the Max8 Demo, for all of the above tests. This includes modeling, baking, viewing and rendering. About the tangents - since everyone here is having the same issues, would it be safe to say that Max is handling them wrong? I know… -
Re: Destructoid's 10 Rules of Videogame Women
ok thats some funny shit :D but i agree most arguments are pretty hollow ... let me make some quick comments: 1 ) if i was in a combat situation of any kind i think i would choose maximum mobility over what ever protection armor can realistically provide. id much rather get shot and killed over get shot and get the bullet… -
Re: Russian t34
mask. Basically, u just can make snow layer that covers all your texture. Then create a quick mask in PS and make it black. This way "by default" the snow layer is transparent. And where u will be painting white or gray in the mask u'll get the snow to appear. I personally would simply make winter camo, but if u want to…
