Back to basics - Normal map black lines error
Hi guys, I know this is a pretty common problem and I've seen tons of discussion topics about it. Just wanted to venture into it again to make sure I'm not crazy. Keeping in mind I haven't done this in a while. Anyway, I'm getting black lines on my AO and normal map. No smoothing groups are added and uvs shells are not… -
3DS Max - Display vertex paint textures in viewport
Newbie question for a newbie newb. I've searched around for a good while now and I currently don't know what else to click. From Autodesk docs: While that does show the painted colors, it does not display the textures that I actually want. There's plenty of info about how to display them on renders though. I also read… -
maya to remember component selection, when changing component?
Hi, I've just found out that maya does not remember component selection by default, which makes the workflow really annoying. I am sure there's something that can be done, or that you guys use as workaround and I'll like to know if someone can share some tips on this. Ideally, lets say I have some vertexes selected, then I… -
Re: Designer to Painter problem with Height map...
Painter could show the displacement too . it's in shader settings. By default any height texture is rendered with kind of mild influence to pixel normals . Sometimes hardly visible. No connection to real height amplitude it supposed to be. I use" height to normal" filter put into normal slot of a layer with same input… -
Re: Noise grain in my Max Normal Bake
Just as a general note: To deal with precision issues of 8bit file formats and the often extremely subtle information that needs to be stored in a normal map, you basically have two options: A. Noise or "dithering" which is what Max does by default B. Stepping, which is what Maya does by default. I personally prefer Max's… -

Re: Ergonomics - Save your wrists
I naturally sit lower. This gives my wrist an anchor point off the side of the desk so my keyboard hand's palm doesn't rest on the desk. (this is the cheapest way I've determined without getting one of those swivels for your arm) My monitors are eye level so my head doesn't look up or down. I try to sit straight most of… -
Re: TetraPaint - 3D Painting application
OK - took a bit longer than I'd planned because key remapping is boooooring and I played Dark Souls 3 instead this past weekend. Anyway, version .43 is up - *Key remapping! Available from the options menu. Note the previous 'standard & 3D-style' settings are still available. Press the 'Defaults' button in the remap dialog… -
Re: Krita Masterthread: 4.0 is out!
