Re: Monthly Community Noob Challenge June 2014 (20)
Finished! :D ! Here's the link to my portfolio page with several close ups and a wireframe of the whole scene. http://scottmichaelh.cgsociety.org/art/3ds-max-mudbox-photoshop-udk-meshlab-bunker-architecture-3d-1200493 I had several lightmap issues and had never done reflections in a UDK. I made a slight adjustment with the… -
Re: Small UE4 Lighting Issue?
Oh, I haven't considered it a normal issue! Here are my normal maps, the bottom piece which is correct, and the top piece which is incorrect. I know I have some strong gradients, but I seem to get away with it because all the details. Plus, there are gradients in the bottom(correct lighting) piece and it looks fine. Bottom… -

Re: [modo] ZBrush's UV algorithm
@James - Ah thanks, I'll look into that! Currently I GoZ to ZB, unwrap then GoZ back to modo with the new UVs, it works but if I can do all in the same software will be more efficient. @Warren - Well it's for personal project though, so I don't really mind about performance drop that much. But you have a point that I… -
Re: WIP Asian Street
Update! Been doing a lot since the last update. I haven't really modeled too much more, but have been mostly texturing. I'm beginning to polish the central area and will probably stop this to start getting the farther sections up to the same level of completeness. I'm also including a truck, that I modeled in the last… -
Re: Rooftop Scene WIP
For things like those units on the left, they'd most likely just be a prop where you make one, and can place multiple in the world (quicker to render instances of the same geometry). This would reduce tris, avoid the problems of thin tris, and the lighting would go unaffected for the most part. Mirrors edge had baked in… -
Problem Normal map in 3dsmax convexe and concave shapes
Hi everybody, :) :) I have some problems to bake a good normal map in 3dsmax for this object : I only had modeled one quarter of the object and made a symmetry on x and y axis to have the entire object. As a result, on the seams, I don't have a good result. I tried to enlarge he cage in the projection modifier but It… -
Reducing Final Build File Size
I am currently in the optimization stage of my project and I am looking to reduce the final build file size. My question is regarding compressing texture files. I'm baking the majority of the world as static objects at a 40 textel resolution. For the static objects with baked lightmaps, is there any point to compressing… -
3ds Max DirectX Shader problem
Hello everyone! I have some strange issue with DirectX Shader in Max. I have to use some castom shader with Diffuse map and LightMap. It works good on all submaterials in whole scene except only one - some subobject (it is very similar to another 5, has no alphas) of it became invisible (but still exist - I select this… -
Foliage Brush - Grass baking out as black
Hi there, we've been having this problem for a while and have no idea as to why this is happening. For our level there are certain sections that feature grass, but whenever we try and paint the grass that was made from 'SpeedTree' everytime we bake there are deep black shadows running constantly through out it, even in a…
