Re: Normal Baking problems
Heya - Indeed, good of you to ask. The reason why I asked you why you were making such an assumption is because putting clear words on why one believes a certain thing helps identifying where such a belief is coming from. Bit of a socratic dialogue so to speak. The problem is that whoever taught you that was 100% incorrect… -

Re: @#$%@*#$ bone hierarchy
3dsmax isn't a big fan of multi branching bone trees or re-linking bones after they've been animated. Mix the two and you're pretty much guaranteed a distaster. BUT dummies are pretty good at straining out those weird bone linking issues. In general any time you have a multi-branching tree you want to link the chains to… -
Re: MaxScriptin'
<font class="small">Code:</font><hr /><pre> -- a function frequently used fn f_max a b = (if (a > b) then a else b) -- the method returns the "next" upper directory of a path -- so "C:\\gigatexture\\europe\\" will return "C:\\gigatexture\\" -- it will always return a minimum of "C:\\" -- at least should I havent tested the… -
Re: Substance Painter - Normal Seam Issue - UV size?
When ppl ask for texel density when a baked edge is in question, they're wondering how many pixels wide the edge is represented as on the baked normal map. A 90° lowpoly with hard edges will never render perfectly. If you zoom in, you can see the limitations of the texel density of the edge. Look closely at the edge on… -
Re: Asus Eee Slate
Jeremy-S: I took a quick look at your website and I think you could finish out a project with this, I would hesitate to say that if you were trying to rebuild texas in Unreal :) I did do a couple of initial test with DX shaders in max 2012, I had to revert to Direct 3d for the 3 point shader, and when using the 3point the… -
Re: Knald - Master Thread
@metalliandy Thanks for a quick response! For now, here are the meshes I've used: https://www.dropbox.com/s/zd93478qb3mhmpo/knald_test_01.fbx?dl=0 https://www.dropbox.com/s/5d0u8qbt9zz9zay/knald_test_05.fbx?dl=0 So, if I understand you correctly, "Mesh AO" mode in Knald 1.0 worked in a very similar way to the new "Baker"… -
Re: ratGPU : OpenCL raytracing renderer
I'm my own experience NVIDIA's OpenCL is a bit slower than CUDA ( because it's made on the top of it so you add another onion layer plus you need a lot of care about the register pressure resultant from the JIT compiler/different drivers ). I've found OpenCL is bit harder to program than CUDA ( because CUDA supports C++… -
Re: 3ds max - use 'tab' button as a hotkey?
You can hack the TAB key directly into the *.kbdx config file, using tab's virtual key code ( being "0x09" ). Together with the Max internal action provided to toggle floating windows, you are able to simulate the sub-window toggling using the tab key, like Adobe does it in Photoshop for example For Max 2013 and up: simply… -
Re: My Year Long Trek
(Those bold lines in my shot are UV seams, no wacky double edges going on or anything) I definitely understand the importance of keeping stuff as low as possible, however my decisions aren't haphazard. I am adding a more than usual amount of topology in my low poly models for a few reasons. This project is another piece…
