Yeah, I understand that there are other ways to get this done and this does look like a waste of time and effort without context. What's spurred me into making this is the discrepancy in scale with the different methods. The environment I'm making for a game will end up with a large amount of brick and stone textures on…
Hi Adobe Designer gradient node comes with a great fast color picker. While Photoshop picker requires to pick tones one by one. How could I be as fast in Photoshop? (currently either using SD and copying over to PS either using Random them remapping colours)
Nostradamus: cheers! Chief benefit to me: it's visual. From an art background, I just understand things so much better when I see them laid out- some examples: you can clearly see the connections between things, and how the 'flow' of code works- especially when you view the graph at runtime any logic being called has a…
Thanks Kees! The area light is made using a spot light because its the only light that has a rotate-able light view prj. So I can create an area by offsetting its position left and right, up and down with a transposed light view prj. None of the other lights rotate the projection on the z axis. As I control the bias inside…
Hello Polycounts I am a little stuck on an unwrapping problem. I am making a building that has 2 different types of roofs on it. One is a regular slanted part of a roof you would see on lots of house and the other is a cone type roof. (building is semi stylized) All the buildings in the scene will use the same tillable…
Hello everyone, I am switching to 3ds Max and I was wondering if there is an option to change the wireframe color when you enter sub-object mode ( edge/vert/face mode ). Maya and XSI have that option but I can't find it in max. Does anybody know if there is an option or a script ? Thanks. Top images - object mode Bottom -…
Technology At the beginning of the project we looked into existing engines for Flash, including a technology developed at Soap for an unreleased game called Ninja-X, and the Citrus Engine, which is built on top of Starling and two physics engines. Neither engine turned out to be suitable for the games need. Citrus was…

I can not for the life of me get this to work. I'm using Max 2013. I've read through the thread that discussed this. A lot of people were having problems with it not working. Has this been resolved? Is there some secret to getting this to work? When I switch modes do I have to re-bake the Normal maps? So far I've noticed…
Hi, I am part of a group of students developing their final end of the course project. I am sitting on the art side of the fence but have a hinge to the technical and want to get into shader programming. I decided to look into parallax mapping and found out about something called "relaxed cone step mapping"…
