Re: WIP Holy Snail Temple
Hey guys. The limit is 5k tris. So I am to rely heavily on texturing. The walkway which the Umbrella Man pointed out is actually supposed to be an aqueduct. I see now that it may seem like a walkway ending up in a door. I've retouched the door some, giving it small arch at the top. It's like a dried out water temple. With… -
Re: The state of the games industry
planescape torment had an amazing story. Half-lifes story is cool. Hardwars story was cool. Elite force, System shock, most(all?) lucasarts adventures, giants, jedi knight1/2, morrowind/oblivion(maybe), I don't know what you are expecting exactly? edit: fallout, max payne(story was cliche but it was great fun to be… -
Re: texture: reflective latex for baking
Reflections need to be done real-time. The diffuse texture should not have highlights or reflections in it (ie, you cannot "bake" them). With the right normal map, and cube map, writing a reflection shader is relatively easy, and will look similar enough to those models. EDIT: The eye shader on my website would be somewhat… -
Re: Can 3ds max morpher change normals?
i have looked into my issue some more, and i run into something weird. i have a character mesh, that i want to deform using the morpher. what i notice is though, that the morpher doesnt change the normals. i mean, for example if i make a morph target with a 90 degree rotated head, when i pull the morph slider, the… -
Re: Import .objs only script among other things
the way I do things is a interface that lets me define a url and then use just 2 buttons to instantly export or instantly import OBJ files without any nagging dialogues. I work alot with external tools such as UVLayout and others that usually just modify the model so they do not create something new. I often then have to… -
Re: Superspecular soft edges tutorial chapter 1
thanks for feedback! That's true about my engish is something long and bad ahaha. Yes i mean edit normals. For Pior: In next steps i will show how to fix all the related problems at least manually. I have to rewrite some better scripts to automate some process and avoid some common mistakes my actual doesn't do automatic… -
Re: Refraction + Light
So above the big octopus that platform is it allowed to create shadows? that might help with the light going through to it. afaik It is the only thing i am seeing that might be an issue, if it has shadows enabled idk otherwise, that is a tricky one, maybe have GI on ? all the options and increase the shadow options to… -
Re: "Harbingers" - the Blizzard cinematic and their tools of the trade?
blackmagic fusion would be another one to look at. or autodesk flame if that happens to come with a free version now (last i looked they were on a drive to 'democratize' it after all). the latter has some decent editing functionality but their real compositing/editing hybrid solution is called smoke. anyway, you'll mainly… -
Re: default max's wireframe color script?
you could probably use a callback on a new node created, that calls " convert to editable poly" automatically :) That would do the trick :) , but you'd lose any possibilities to edit your primitive before converting it. Adding a "Edit Poly" Modifier instead to it might be a better solution. You could also have Macros to… -
Re: LOD - Technics - Insert Loop/Edge
Normal map baked into a specific vector data difference between your LP and HP, so unless you do some weighted normal edit on your LP mesh which will minimize (not eliminate) the gradient on your normal map, you cant edit the mesh without introduce some shading issue. So the general idea is that you want your normal map on…
