Re: Softimage to Maya hotkeys
Ctrl+RMB, Ctrl+Shift+RMB, Shift+RMB. The triforce of Maya marking menus. For a lot of hard-surface modeling tasks these are almost all that you will use, barring custom tools. These, however, are context-sensitive and will change depending on where your cursor is over and what selection mode or tool you are in. As for… -
Re: UE4 New Scale Issue
Being in the same case as you (porting content from UDK to UE4), I recommend scaling your content to match the new scale. Even if you only plan to do some fly through. Unless you want to dig in the ini file to tweak some Lightmass properties (as I did), you will have some problems with the baking of the lighting for… -
Re: [UE4] London Blitz
-Albedo is simply the base color with no lighting information. -Metalness is a black and white mask that tells the material what is not a metal (black), and what is a metal (white). Where the map is white, the shader will default the albedo value to black, and then use the information in the albedo map as the reflectivity… -
Re: Skip Orthographic view in 3dmax
I'm not such a bad ass professional like perna so I'm fine with the little script posted by fletch to do my daily unworthy hobbyist work. ;) perna: I really appreciate any tips, hints and advices but it sounds a bit arrogant to tell people they should look for another "hobby" if they use default shortcuts. I really don't… -
Re: Mental Ray Lightning problems. 3D Max.
It could be a simple problem caused by your material. You have to use ALWAYS mental ray materials when you render with mental ray renderer. The standard MIA material works very well for this task. You just have to create a MIA material, plug your diffuse map in the diffuse color slot, and instead of plug in your opacity… -
Re: Substance Painter - Effective pipeline when working with xNormal
As for our baker, usually our default settings work very well, so the learning curve should be pretty quick. Also faster bake time compared to xNormal. ;) Our curvature is generated from the low-poly mesh and its normal map. While xNormal use an high-poly mesh. There is a difference here. Also our algorithmic is probably… -
Re: Max 2010 - Performance
Well on the two win machines I tested it on it was slower both for menus and brushstrokes (uber x64 machine and 3years old dinosaur aswell). It felt much more polished on the Mac, but I guess that's much easier to achieve? Yeah CB that's so annoying ... Anyways back to the topic of newer Max versions. Earlier this week I… -
Re: Alley Environment
Here's a quick Max run down. On the left you can see the basic test object. On the Right is the same thing tesselated a bunch. In the middle, I just beveled the inner poly in a bit, only adding 8 tris to the model, but you can see that it's AO is pretty comparable to the highly tesselated one. On the far right you can see… -
Re: retrieving 2nd uvw channel in max
It's for that annoying reason I use separate unwrap modifiers each set to their own channel. But collaspoholics should get used to the reset button. You should stay away from hitting the reset button when you first apply UV2 as it could reset to the original default layout (normally a mess or planar projection) not what… -
Help with rolling ball blueprint movement
I'm trying to modify the UE4 ball rolling default scene to behave more like Marble Blast. I've watched some of their tutorials and figured out how to add the third person camera controls easily enough. Now I'm having trouble figuring out how to have the movement controls work in respect to the camera rather than world…
