So I am working on a gray scene to work on my lighting. I've been primarily working at home, but today I tested it out on my work computer, and now i notice my light maps are LODing and they look like crap. I never noticed this before on my home computer. So i decided to rebake on preview and once i did the LODing went…
Hey, it appears I've found a bullet-proof way to crash my ZBrush in 10 seconds. *hooray* In case you want to see if you can reconstruct this behavior, the steps are: 1. Drop to Canvas 2. Drag out new instance of object in 2.5D mode 3. Move Object 4. Drop again 5. Drag out new instance 6. Crash! (7. If it didn't crash at…
Well one problem could be that you're using an extremely old plug-in (Chuggnuts tools) with a much newer version of max. When you install chuggnuts it overwrites a few uwnwrap core files with really old re-written versions. At the time chuggnuts came out it expanded on the current code but now they've made several…

I think there's a CVar to disable Post Effects too, but I'm not sure how far that goes since there isn't really a post-process editor to my knowledge. It may just be the bloom and HDR settings disabled. In the Art and Technology behind Crysis 3, there were a few screenshots of Crysis 3 levels during development in…
I was trying to make a script to activate the Paint Select mode while turning on ignoreBackfacing so that I don't select faces from the other side when painting. To make this compatible with both EditablePoly and EditPoly, my thought process was to make a tryCatch function so that if it failed to the first clause because…
sonic, i dont know much about processors, but from what your saying intels duel and new quad core processors are not any faster at all than the single core ones unless you have programs that are specifically written to use all 4 cores? i really know nothing about them, but if thats the case why upgrade?
Sure, I've put the sources in the spoilers. But I think the overall point was that the tests demonstrate that there's a difference in accuracy between cycles renders and normal textures baked from cycles renders. The Blender foundation has a limited resource pool and they have to be somewhat strategic about how they…
zetheros said: I was expecting to be enraged by that video (default state of being tbh) but I wasn't entirely. This isn't even all that unrealistic for new projects/engines - It is extremely unrealistic though, if you're someone who works on a legacy codebase containing thousands of instances where some code doesn't appear…
