Re: Modo vs Maya,Ur thoughts?
I've also been considering Modo, and have been going thru it the last couple of days. There are some things I like, and some things I don't like. I wish snapping worked a little better, and by that I mean sometimes it may take me several tries to get a vertex to snap to another vertex. My cursor will be right over another… -
Re: Question about continuous meshes for low poly bakes.
You are viewing face normals here, which as far as I know can only point in 2 directions, inwards and outwards. What you need to be checking is vertex normals. Once you do, you'll probably find that the vertex normals aren't perpendicular to the faces. What you could do, is either adjust the vertex normals manually, or set… -
Re: Shader programming: GLSL etc
some stuff is wrong what you just said jkm Cg HLSL GLSLCg was developped by Nvidia, it was the first high-level language for the mass market sorta. In a cooperation project HLSL was made with Microsoft, hence Cg and HLSL are very close codewise, and often no translation is necessary. Cg supports a few more things than the… -
Re: Cavity vs Curvature maps
I've dealt with this in the past, and here are the ways to do curvature maps that I know of: Highpoly, no UVs: - Vertex colors: bake in max with http://www.rpmanager.com/plugins/TensionMod.htm - Zbrush polypaint: bake to vertex color via masking High to low, UVs: - Xnormal, bake curvature - convert tangent space normal to… -
Re: [maya] froX : an xNormal script exporter for maya
For baking the polypaint from zBrush obj files you need to use the "HP out of scene" setting : The HP mesh must be in the export folder, otherwise the script will not be able to find the mesh. If you want to export some vertex color to xNormal from Maya, you need to use the FBX format as objs from Maya don't contain vertex… -
Re: my ID map is just a blank gray
I have just had a similar problem. It turned out to be caused by one of my exported highpoly meshes (that wasn't even aligned with the lowpoly for the bake) not having vertex colors (using blender and no vertex color layer generated for the mesh). It was fixed for me by adding a vertex color layer for the offending mesh… -
Maya Quad Draw Tool Troubleshooting
Hey guys, So not sure what I pressed but all of a sudden the quad draw tool... 1) When holding tab Im normally able to extend an edge but not it just make these squares and I cant extend edges anymore _________________________________________________________________________ 2) When I move a vertex of the new quad draw… -
Setup Material for Lightmap in 3DS Max
I'm trying to get my lightmap to render properly within 3DS Max. I have a RGB MULTIPLY with my DIFFUSE and VERTEX COLOR connected to its inputs. I have my LIGHTMAP plugged into the SELF-ILLUMINATION slot under MAPS in the material parameters. I'm getting strange results because of the vertex color, and am unable to render… -
Re: Strange mirror uv problem in painter.
So, i came across this problem yesterday. Somehow mirrored uv showing weird shading only on curved surface to x axis. No sharp edges, flipped normal, overlap vertex etc. Everything was correct, the onlything i know is its from the normal map i baked in marmoset. -
Re: Issues with normal map baking in 3ds max
The baking raytracing occurs in radial direction in your case. Most probably it's because you are using the cage with vertex normals being split. Remember the cage is mostly for defining projection direction. When the direction differ a lot from normals you get such effect. Bake without cage just along vertex normals. In…
