Re: Maya 2010 64-bit Windows 7: Lag with viewport and component selection. :(
jv16 PowerTools solved my issues with 3DS Max. I was getting some iffy performance in Max and constant crashes because I didn't 'clean out' my previous Hotfix for Max, so the latest one gave issues. A simple deep clean solved all that after a fresh install. Your mileage may vary, but a program like CCleaner might also help… -
Re: Exhausting repetative tasks
It's totally your call of course, but IMHO it's better to talk with the tools programmer now, instead of later. Highly repetitive tasks tend to add more human errors to the game, and it discourages iteration. Besides, this is part of a tool programmer's job... solving repetitive tasks. I worked with an in-house editor… -
Re: Pwnisher NEW 3D Render Challenge w/ INSANE Prizes! | Chasm's Call
He hasn't replied to my comment on the video asking for clarification. Probably should add a scarf since there may be a bias in the judging criteria based on if you're pro palestinian or not, since Clinton is involved in the judging process. Also if you dream of world peace, its better to replace the little guy with a… -
Re: Octane Render fixing object Shadows and Bounce Light
Big thanks to both or you especially about using path tracing Switching the kernel to path tracing enabled the bounce light from a plane onto my sphere (render target<kernel<path tracing) The shadow contrast issue: (this was a scale issues) I was able to solve by simply adjusting the AO distance (render target<kernel<… -
Re: Issues with normal map shading
Actually I thought the text and screenshots were adequate to explain the problem thoroughly. Unity seems to be ignoring the incoming tangents from the FBX. Images of the highpoly/UVs/normalmap aren't going to help much with solving tangent issues. Except to solve other potential issues, like not enough padding, ray misses,… -
Re: Unreal 4 Lightmapping Issue
Honestly, I had no idea that setting even existed. I thought the source lightmap index was the option used to set the UV channel for lightmaps, but I was obviously wrong. I know it may not seem like your suggestion could have solved much, but I've been searching for a solution to this on and off for almost a year, and… -
Re: 3D Artist to Technical Artist ?
bad news... most engines are not like UE4 so knowing UE4 means bugger all at places that don't use it good news... you don't get hired as a technical artist because you know how to use certain software, you get hired because you can demonstrate that you know how to identify and solve problems in any software. to generate… -
Some problems when baking with turtle in maya
Hi, there is a turtle renderer for baking textures in Maya. But there are some problems I don't know how to solve. Is there anyone try it? 1. How to baking normal maps to low poly with hard edges? I have separated the UVs in hard edges, but I can't figure out how to use the envelope surface. 2. How do you solve the… -
Re: The Bi-Monthly ENVIRONMENT ART Challenge | July - August (67)
@Pinkfox I am happy to have been a little help. Your diorama is fantastic. Good job. @Lairelosse I recommend this video in which a problem very similar to yours is solved (in practice it increases the lightmap resolution). You can start watching it from the minute 13:00. If you don't solve the problem with this video, you… -
Re: Modo + Handplane + Knald + Unity. Workflow problem.
Applying deformer solves the issue. Baking AO in Modo: If you use render output you can get pretty nice AO where overlapping geometry gives you black colour on the AO. If you use material (which is way more better since you can change a lot of things) AO is pretty messy where geometry overlaps and it's white inside. I hope…
