Re: Getting into the gameindustry with blender?
Well a "cage" can mean a few different things and is a fairly vague term, it doesn't necessarily need to have a "cage", however it does NEED to have the ability to use an averaged projection mesh when you have hard edges on your lowpoly.

Re: Normal maps, Engines and dull colour palettes!
Hey nice example Vrav. I guess from that point on, we can even make further distinctions : the actual rendered/zbrush matcapped source sculpt (and texture), compared to the end result in the game.

Max 2011 Destroyed Normals
I've looked in several places and I can't find a solution within Max to fix this (though I may be overlooking a solution out on the web somewhere). Here's the skinny.

Hello everybody! Newcomer here. I've just recently started to follow a game design course and we've started to tinker with ZBrush for hiPoly-to-normal-map baking.

M202A1
Hi guys, I started working on this weapon a couple of days ago. I wanted to post my progress on it so far. There is a smoothing group error on the side of the main body that I literally just discovered before posting this. I think I am going to have to go back to fix that up. The low is sitting at 3801 Tris and on a 1024 X… -

How to properly display baked normal map in Max's viewport?

Of course, lowpoly model has all Smoothing Groups set from UV Shells which looks ugly without normals but with Normal map applied - looks smooth and seamless, well you know. But when I load it in Max and activate Normal map, the model… -
