Re: Overdraw, how does it work and how bad is it?
1) As far as I know, B is the better option because it is only the pixels that are marked as transparent that cause the problems. In general its easier for an engine to render a few more tris than it is to process giant transparent areas, so trimming down those places is pretty key. Espseically when you have several… -
Re: 3ds max techniques with splines
Chaserm2 Drop that sprocket image on a plane, then using a spline line trace out the shape. Since it's a pretty complex shape you probably want to trace out several shapes and then combine them. nufftalon yea splines are pretty cool and have a lot of uses. One thing to keep in mind is that you can turn any edge in edit… -
Re: Monthly Community Noob Challenge July 2014 (21)
Cool stuff everyone :) Here's my thoughts on some of the environments so far: @VincentM: Nice work already, I think you pretty much nailed the proportions if you're going for a still image recreation.

Bake Normal Map into AO
Hey again, So this has been bothering me a bit as I just can't seem to get it to work, should be a simple problem really though, I've done it before in MAX. I'm using Maya 2012 atm and I want to bake out a lowpoly AO, BUT I want to include normal map information into the AO bake. Basically because I often have a lot of… -

Re: You're doing it wrong.
for reals: my trim method sucks and it's a pain in the ass to unwrap: *Make big room *select faces to trim, inset x units and extrude down x units
