Cannot export a model from Mudbox to Maya.
This is part of a sofa I am working on; the cushions exported just fine, but for some reason this portion is just refusing to finish exporting: http://i.imgur.com/VXkUUur.png[1] It has been stuck like this for 2 hours. I would think my PC would be able to handle it, but in case I'm wrong, here are the specs: Intel QuadCore… -
Light bleedthrough issue
Hey.. Stumbled on another issue I can't quite understand, pic below: http://i.imgur.com/3GGCl.jpg As you can see, in circle number 1 and three, the light from the opposite side of the object bleeds through onto shadow. I got rid of that effect by increasing the lightmap resolution from 64 to 256, but that trick did not… -
Re: rip nintendo?

Re: Wildebeest (Overwatch Concept - Taken from the Art of Overwatch)
Hey Astrocoolbug, I was looking at your textures two posts above. Have you considered making a separate UV layout for your emission/illumination texture? I don't know if it will help performance that much but you could change that 2048 texture for a 256/512 one just focusing on the few parts requiring emission. It's a bit… -
Re: [FOLIAGE & UE4] ~ Grass, full 3D strands to cards LOD transition, is it possible?
That's actually really awesome. I wonder what the drawbacks are then at that point then? If the drawcalls aren't hampering performance is there a reason not to do this method going forward? Especially with a culling distance of 5k getting 356% overall performance benefit over the big card method. Granted with a physics… -
Re: How to set best occlusion in xnormal?
Hi there, Last time I wrote it down I was using this : Rays : 256 Distribution : Uniform Bias : 0.000010 Spread Angle : 175 Limit ray distance : off Attenuation : 1 ; 0 ; 0 Jitter, Ignore backface hits, Allow 100% occlusion : off Now this was a little while ago so things might have changed since then... I'd have to double… -
Re: I'm getting a mac book pro i7 13 inch
No. Whilst it would probably compile apps and some gentle games, Lion would probably crawl on it and it'd just become a headache, that's a very dated machine. The GMA 950 will run UDK but you won't have much fun with more than about 3 polygons. I'd just save up for either a Mac Mini or a new MacBook Pro, heck even an… -
Re: New 21" Cintiq is out
Glynn : imagine yourself wanting to use the tablet at low pressure (pressure slider to the left). If you have few overall pressure levels, then you would have very very few in the low pressure range. That's my understanding anyways... Like, if the overall is 2048, then at low pressure you are given like 512 increments. As… -
Re: Next generation to arrive in 2012
Here's an idea. Couldn't sony just 'upgrade' the PS3? A partial rebuild upgrade, take the ram to 1gb vram + 1gm ram from the 256 each it is now. Leave the CPU, motherboard, and anything else that doesn't need changing. It might be cheaper than an entirely new console, and 4x the ram for a low price could be a decent… -
Re: Why grime and wear on textures?
well the question you have to ask yourself is: do you fill a 256² pixel surface with nothing but a flat color? texture have been invented to show information that is too detailed to be shown in geometry, so you should use them that way. also realism is not the target, not even in "realistic" looking games. because if you…
