Re: ZBrush 2018: An actual feature-filled update
I don't see how zBrush can be fully integrated into a pipeline right now since you can't automate anything, you can't even export your displacement on a farm or something, everything has to be made by the user. Plus there is no camera support, no alembic and ... no linux support so basically it can't work with big vfx… -
Re: Re-topology is there anything on the horizon?
@myclay I installed the wrap 3 trial last night as I was Impressed with the vids. The experience, however, was far from impressive. First I tried wrapping a headscan of my own(1mill tris) to their default head basemesh. The sim ran so long that I had to leave it overnight and this morn it had crashed. So I went to a… -
Re: Marmoset Toolbag: User input for next major revision
I'm messing around with Marmoset right now, and I'm noticing a couple of things I'd like to see with the Sky stuff. First, I'd like to see support for more formats. The regular format you find online is .hdr, and Marmoset doesn't support that. I have to open the image in Photoshop, save out as a PBM, rename it in Windows… -
Re: Maya jellyfish with nCloth and Dynamic Hair - help!
You can use fields to affect the movement as well. I would use a couple of turbulence fields, one very light and one a little bit stronger. You can get nice variations in turbulence from simple expressions in different attributes. There's quite a bit you can do with fields. Check out what each one does and you can find… -
Re: [ZBrush] Retain brush settings across all brushes?
I don't know of any default option to transfer the specific setting (and transferring them all would probably end up making half the brushes useless), but it would be very simple to create a user interface button that sets the value so that you at least wont have to dive into several pallets. Just throw the button wherever… -
Re: (WIP)Arch Viz Animation Project- Mental Ray
Well, first make sure to work with a proper full linear workflow (RAW output). Your materials are off. The best thing you can do in order to get decent result is to create a simple scene with one neutral environment, one or two area light, a ball, and start from there. Spend time on texture creation is crucial; actually… -
Re: Questions about Face Weighted Normals in Production
I kindof see them as a blessing and a curse. On one hand, it is pretty damn great that Maya has the option (well, the 3 options actually) without the need for any third party script ; but on the other hand, the fact that it is enabled by default and without warning is a pretty terrible idea. Many users are not even aware… -
Re: 3D World 3dsmax skinning tutorial
Japhir: Max 2008 - sorry. TheSplash: Heh, I planned out some of what I was going to say before recording each video, usually I'm not very good at explaining things :( We do have a variable for enabling dual quaternion skinning in ETQW (it's off by default, I think), I haven't really considered weighting anything… -
Re: Maya guy learning Max, looking for tips
and if max crashes you can usually find an autoback file in the default max directory eg 3dsmax\autoback\autoback_01.max. You can set the frequency they are saved in the preferences. I have autoback's saved every 5 mins and have around 15 of them (they save sequentially). I learnt the hard way that Maya has no default… -
Re: Low res shadows with highres Lighting maps
Heyo! On my side the First Person Example (UE5.0.1) had Virtual Shadow Maps (Beta) enabled as default Shadow Map Method in the Project Settings and "Build Lighting Only" has no effect. To bake light as I used to, I had to switch the Method to Shadow Maps. When using Virtual Shadow Maps, this helped me to somewhat improve…
