Re: Questions about normal baking via explosion
I've tried this so many times in so many ways. At first it was one piece. This many pieces is me being scared of the cage running into itself and causing errors. It's a standard error, its just that I feel I can fix the others with time, but this one puzzles me as to what to do with the mesh to fix it. I have geo parts of… -
Re: (3ds Max) RTT and V-Ray?
Max's RTT tools have gone to shit, they where never all that good to begin with but now that they've ripped out mental ray you can't bake half of the maps that you previously could and they aren't anywhere closer to allowing you to bake other maps that you need. To top it off using RTT leads to garbage collection and… -
Re: Python for maya - Renaming and Skinning Multiple joints
ok so I figured out the error, it was because I was trying to connect Chassis_joint to itself. I changed that by having a button in my menu change Chassis_joint to Root_Bone. I have created a few buttons that function properly but there are two buttons which I can't get to work and thats because they are using a string I… -
Re: Optimize model for AO baking?
@bitinn yes, Bake Groups + Ignore Groups in Toolbag should give you the best of both worlds. You can use baking groups to isolate the projection so you don't get projection errors when the baker casts on the wrong mesh (ie, from the pillow to the chair). Then, the Ignore Groups AO option tells the baker to use groups for… -
Re: M4A1 Carbine W.I.P
I agree with everything said because everyone has a different opinion but the way everyone is making this sound it sounds impossible (not that it is) but for a beginner like me its kinda scary.. yes for art beasts like you guys you can make a tree look identical to the ref.but for us beginners crits and comments are what… -
Steam bought Crysis Editor, paths issues
*Edit* Think I solved it. Very strange and picky, not sure if it's because I'm using the steam download of the editor. The official documentation does not go at all where to put your objects, but they are suppose to magically appear.. not the case for me. I grabbed Crysis off Steam recently, installed the latest Crysis… -
Question about baking normal from multiple highpoly
I got a question I hope someone can help me with. When baking a tangent normal map from multiple highpoly meshes, I get errors in areas were the highpoly meshes intersect and the lowpoly has a UV seam and edge split. Might be worth mentioning that the highpoly meshes are supposed to look like separate objects in real (e.g.… -
Re: Basic topology exercises Giz
Hi Pior ty for your post! The fact is, I've been trying to learn topology for a long, long time. . If I had remade a mesh from scratch, it would have been much easier, and MAYBE something better would have come out of it. Just to be precise, I didn't take 10 minutes, hehehe :D I think in 1 hour. It's precisely because I'm… -
Separating skinned mesh into parts for FBX export in MAYA
I have this rigged Giraffe in Maya. It's all weighted and ready to use, but I need to split it into pieces since the destination platform (Facebook AR Studio) does not support skinned meshes with > 20 bones. So I've attempted to split the mesh up along the neck, legs and tail - separating out each mesh component into it's… -
