Re: DebrisMaker2
Nope. IMO that plugin is only a small library of objects with some settings. It's too less to get my attention. Really good scripts\plugins should offer some algorithms, something new, something that will speed up our work. I didn't find any of this in this plugin. Just ready to use small library of assets, it's ok but… -
Re: Procedural World Generation - Tutorials and Presentations
Having dug into the unreal python API recently nothing is straightforward :D - the documentation is (diplomatically speaking) fucking shit the hard part here is the algorithms for generating convincing road layouts. Once you have that it's simple enough to generate plots for buildings and then the buildings themselves.… -
Re: Is this bad topology?
Just connect them. They could cause some problems: -in uvw editor and game engine you could got an error about overlapped uv's -some scripts and algorithms like "relax" in uvw will works bad. You topology should be "relax"proof if you know what I mean. -and some engines could triangulate the model in wrong way, like this: -
Re: Quad Optimize?
there are many uses for a uniform quad reduction. for starters such a mesh will subdivide cleanly with a subdivision scheme like Catmull-Clark etc. also variations of this type of subdivision are used for things like dynamesh. there are many other uses. triangle and quad reduction/resurfacing algorithms in general do just… -
Re: Course Character: Hatsune Miku - The World is Mine Version.
good stuff haz! looking really nice, awaiting the final textured version :) I second that comment from dirigible about 3Dcoat, strongest 3 things it does are 3d painting/retopo/UV imo. I also finish my uv in maya though but 3dcoat has quite a few good algorithms to layout UVs for you to get started :) -
Re: normal map seams in max - noob question
Depending on how you've created your UVs you may have noticeable seams. Personally I'd recommend using XNormal or ZBrush to bake with. I've always gotten better results with them than 3DS Max personally - the problem is that there's no global "algorithm" for dealing with normal maps. XNormal gets pretty good synced results… -
Re: Answered: Unity Export - Metallic, Legacy not including correct textures
I just checked in with our developers. It looks like Unity reads AO from the green channel only, since Bridge is exporting channel-packed textures. All other channels are ignored so that's why the algorithm has channel packing set to Metalness in R, AO in Green, and Gloss in the alpha channel of your mask texture. Let me… -
Re: Textures are blurring as you get further from the camera
Just looks like bog standard mipmapping to me. You can see the border of the white being pushed to meet pixel boundaries and the linear interpolation is quite visible. There's also a fade so I'd say it's trilinear. Surprised Mental Ray uses it by default and not a supersampling algorithm. I've always thought it's an… -
Re: Alien: Isolation inspired environment
The edge of faces looks like that because of Maya's Angle and area Weighted vertex normals algorithm, you can keep it like that, and bake a normal map that will fix the shading issue (albeit with a heavy gradient), add a hard edge, or change to Unweighted normals (or maybe angle weighted), the artifact will be less… -
UV Tools for Trianulated Highpoly data
Hi erveryone, i am searching for a tool that can help to unwrap Highpoly models which are already triangulated. They are mainly CAD files which getting triangulated and sent to me. I work with 3ds Max 2014 and the problem is that its very time Consuming and the Realx algorithm has a problem with triangle data. Would be…
