Re: Mel Script: smartMoveAndSewUVs
practical not, but technical its correct that it is at least possible (because texture Verts and Mesh Verts are seperate arrays). I know that in UV-Layout from headus you can also only stitch sharing edges or vertices which saves a lot of time because in the past I often stitched texture vertices together that don't belong… -
Re: (Question) Should I do a single large texture or UDIM for an object like Human body?
Do games use UDIM nowday ? Or it's still multi material Id ? Our ancient game engine doesn't support UDIM but I read that Unreal does. I mean in an actual game whatever Unreal is capable of? I believe some of its features are designed for kind of rendered animation rather than actual real time things. How those UDIM tiles… -
Re: Normal Mapping in Max 2012
EarthQuake, would you suggest using a cylindrical map for the main body? I know how to pelt unwrap in UVLayout, but I'm trying to develop my Max skills - I don't think I'll be too employable if I'm reliant on a wide array of third-party software for my work pipeline. A further part of my problem is that I'm building the… -
Re: Monsters!
Dan! - woo, thanks! GrevSev - yeah I like the lobster myself, and moleman! chrisradsby - thanks! Joe White did some great idle animations for Metaluna and Moleman. Hopefully he'll put them online when he gets back from vacation. BlueDog - thanks! D4V1DC - thanks! He is a bit of an odd design with the broken neck. Di$array… -
Re: WIP - Fire Emblem Awakening - Lucina
I'm glad you guys seem to like the model so far. Di$array, thank you very much for the tips, I had a read through the doc. I'm not sure about the eyes but I definitely agree about the hair. It's very busy. I went ahead and worked at simplifying the back portion and I cleaned up the strands. I still feel that it need more… -
Re: Death WIP
@Daft.Eng: Thanks, hopefully I can keep the funky vibe going with the rest of it :) @Di$array: Good point. I'll think of something for the scythe. As for things like hourglasses i could have them hanging down like the coins on his side or something along those lines. I do like the idea of putting time in there somewhere.… -
Re: Quixel Suite - GDC 2015 goodies (to see, not touch)
That's a great idea for encouraging continuous subscriptions, SA2. I'd also like to see some type of feature that keeps track of which textures you've downloaded and links those to your license key. I'd hate to download 100+ textures over time, then lose them in a hard drive crash or a RAID array failure and have to slowly… -
Re: Shell Modifier equivalent for Maya...
Also, I got a curve to partially control the polySplitRing, but i think we're limited by the input types of the node. Once I shed a little noobishness, I'll post my findings. Edit: Yeah ok, I don't really think polySplitRing can take a curve without being rewritten. The curve can control the ramp 'profile', but it's no… -
Re: F.E.A.R. Scared me shitless
The performance is horrific on my (work)machine. I've got a pretty fast Alienware(3.4ghz Intel EE, 2gb fast ram, SATA raid array HD) with a slightly older video card (Geforce FX5950 Ultra) and at 1024x768 with most of the options at medium, I get like, 2 fps. wtf? My direct X & drivers are all up to date... Auto detect… -
