Modo. Baking errors on imported .FBX
So I decided to test out Modo's baking rounded edge shader to NM feature, hoping to incorporate it into my workflow. I've been troubleshooting this for the last few nights and have run out of ideas. I'm a long-term Max user who has only dabbled sparingly in Modo. The issues occur on imported .FBX(from Max) Vs native Modo… -
Polygon mesh representation
Hi all! (Not really sure if this is the right tread to post on but....) I've been searching for the information about the Polygon mesh on Wikipedia and found out the meshes are represented in 4 major ways. Vertex-vertex meshes, Face-vertex meshes, Winged-edge meshes and Render dynamic meshes. Because I lack knowledge in… -
Re: Blending tool using height maps and mesh contact!
Here are the stats from the compiled shaders (I suppose that also includes Unity's PBR shading ? Not sure how to isolate that) Terrain blending : // Stats for Vertex shader: Simple contact blending (Between an object's material and another single material) : // Stats for Vertex shader: Advanced contact blending (Between an… -
Re: misc. maxscript UV scripts/tools
I think I have a major breakthrough in regards of the stack shells script :D it works already pretty nice (no issues yet) some advantages: - doesnt need a reference point definition (like UVlaoyut does with [A]-key by marking stack points) - will support shells with different scales (all scaled down to the same at the end)… -
Re: Experiencing technical difficulties with Maya 2012
Not sure if this is the cause of the problem, but here's the rationale behind why it might be... How blendshaping works is that the blendshape node matches the list of the corresponding vertex (or points) of the blendshape and the target. How they find their "partner" points is through the name of the vertices. Every… -
Re: How to paint terrain using few textures?
Terrain systems are pretty complex sets of tools that do a lot of things for you. It's not just spitting out lumpy terrain but like Eric pointed out it also handles the complex layered material. The mesh you are using isn't set up to do vertex blending, it will need a lot more verts if you're going to paint masks into the… -
Re: Landscape thread
Ok got an answer on epics forum and this seems to be the way to go: Xenobite says: - terrain is working as colision on device - it is invisible but collision is still there definitely not the best solution to use for your level collisions what you should is - make terrain (ignore materials and just play with height) -… -
Re: Cloth Simulation...
If you're having issues with the cloth moving, use the Pinning option on the cloth settings, below Presets and Damping. Go into Edit mode on the object and select, like, a single vertex in the center. Then go into the Object Data tab (The one with the triangle symbol) and in Vertex Groups, create a new one and name it… -
Re: 1940-50's NYC Street
Really like the scene! The brick work on the main buildings has cement at the bottom. Is that just vertex blending or is it something else??? If it is vertex blending did you have to add more polys to get it to look nice? And did you vertex paint the pavement in the end? Is it just around the doors? To break up the wall on… -
Re: Head as same mesh or seperate?
We created normal maps with a solid mesh. Then broke the model apart. Then used the normal modifier in max to make sure all the vertex normals at the seams were pointing in the same direction. But our game engine exported the vertex normals as they were in max, and didn't unify them. You could theoretically normal map a…
