Re: What is pixel denisty in UV unwrapping?
Anything that hangs outside of the 0,1 space will tile. It is perfectly acceptable to have your UVs look like a rats nest with UVs hanging out far past the 0-1 space, IF you are using tiling textures. Below is using a tile texture and it helps to offset the UV's to help avoid repeating details. You can also add strategic… -

Re: texture alpha bleeding (any help?)
The issue is, that the RGB values of texels with an alpha value of 0 will bleed into the RGB value of neighbor texels with alpha >0. One way to solve this problem is, to expand the border RGB values, an other way is the usage of pre-multiplied alpha textures. The latter is often the better way, but you need to use the… -
Re: Unwrap a tall prop with cylinder shape.
The UV bounding area in max is always 0 to 1, you can change the dimensions to be rectangular but the UV square still reads 0 to 1. The UV square gets distorted to whatever the default setting is, or whatever the texture map that is being displayed. When unwrapping non-square materials I will create a custom checker… -
Re: Need a second opinion for a computer build
Looks pretty solid there to me, you may want to look into the differences between Windows 7 home and Pro, I'm not sure what you're missing in Home but probably something. You can also get an "OEM" version of Pro for about $140, I think this has some sort of limit to your hardware config/how many times you can install it,… -
Re: Anyone know of a .ma batch exporter for Maya?

Ran some basic tests on it and worked so let me know if something bugs out for you. Also this is Python code btw as a headsup import maya.cmds as… -
Re: Help on game development.
You are aiming too high at first - too much information to process all in one go when it seems you might be lacking the basics. Building an environment takes a team of artists a considerable amount of time. So start small! No, not as one mesh. Model a road section. Model a pavement section. Model all the possible joins -… -
Re: New Member, just saying Hello
Welcome to Polycount dude. You should definitely choose a specific area you want to specialize in. Most studios won't be looking for a guy who can do environments, characters and animation (I'm sure its a bonus if you can do all three really well). But if you want to do characters, just focus on characters. Another bonus… -
