good reply by https://www.facebook.com/cannibalcandyart "This article is an asinine poorly thought out tantrum. Stick around for subsequent smack down. Firstly; you presume that you can tell a person what they are allowed to do with their income. You think yourself priest enough, that you can insist what their earnings can…
I have observed that the difference between using StaticMesh and InstancedStaticMesh lies in the fact that, in the former, every time a 3D object is drawn on the screen, it generates 1 drawcall (not counting the textures associated with the model). For example, if a wall that is part of a modular kit appears 30 times in a…
Good news it that a mesh with ~3000 tris is scanned very fast (but too slowly to call it real time) still. I don't really mind this situation for now, if the actual grid turns out to be as much faster than without it, as I would think. I can optimize the contruction stage later. Construction speed can also be reduced to…
Sand is correct. Just make a curve along your cable, select a joint then your curve. Animate/Motion Path/Attach to Motion Path. Repeat that step for each joint. Then select all the joints, under inputs in the channel box you'll see the motion path, right click U Value and break connections. Now for each joint adjust the U…
Just an update on this: Turns out greyscale does work; however, greyscale from Knald does not. I have to run a height/AO/cavity map from Knald through photoshop before it displays correctly in TB2. If I don't the map shows black as yellow (In TB2, not PS). Anyone know how we're meant to interpret Mip-map preview levels in…
In the lower right corner of 3dsmax right click the white or pink box and choose "open listener window" copy and paste this code into it, then highlight and drag it into your toolbar.modPanel.addModToSelection (Edit_Poly ()) ui:on$.modifiers[#Edit_Poly].weldEdgeThreshold = 0.001 [COLOR=SeaGreen]--set this number…
But it helps. The United Kingdom has had increasingly strict gun control laws over the past decade, and was also is the nation with the highest incidence of notable terrorist attacks last year (yes, more than Iraq or Afghanistan). The number of deaths was quite low. Our incidences of shootings have been declining steadily…
For props like this my workflow usually looks like this: 1. Build a medium resolution mesh where I can easily reduce the number of sides to make the low poly. For example, on something round I might use my target low poly number of sides and the turbo smooth with smoothing groups. This isn't to make even topology but just…
Go to the frame in your Matinee where the flip occurs. Pop the keys to the curve editor by selecting the "Rotation Keys to Curve Editor" check box (thats not the exact name but its something like that.) Uncheck the translation ones. Then right click the key in the curve editor that is causing the clip and say Set Value. In…
I'm not sure what it would retail for and it has no plastic case or stand. I know how much they cost in large quantities but I can't share that number. It also isn't that relevant to consumer displays since the pricing on this stuff is not entirely related to normal products. For example, the supply chain is guaranteed for…
