Re: Tutorial: Capturing Normal and Displacement Maps
Conor O'Kane's tutorial looks excellent. Thanks for the link! The difference here is that you must apply the same steps to both color map and normal map. One difficulty is that "flip" and "rotate" commands can't be used on a Normal Map. Orientation is important with normals; if you change orientation, you need to change… -
Re: Karate Kata animation
Hey there, Very impressive indeed! You've definitely followed the example video very carefully--too carefully actually, as you've animated some technical errors of the karateka: (Note: I won't go into every little detail, as there are as many different ways of doing this kata as there are styles of karate, but a couple… -
Re: Max 2010, how to create faces correctly?
Thanks for the suggestions. I switched back to Max 8 for now since I have so much work to do that I procrastinated. I'll then load into Max 2010 as needed. When I model a character's face for example I start by placing verts exactly where I want them. I then fill it all in with polys and then pull it into being. Somehow… -
Re: MMORPG'S- What would you look for?
first 2 people I've seen that actually take interest in grinding!! O.O [ame] http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=caMsN86ygNE[/ame] Seriously wont you consider moving just a bit here and there in the map you are playing, while grinding? This is the worst example I could find. This instance is called Ruina Station, and the… -
Re: Ambient occlusion question
Just thinking out loud here, haven't really got a chance to test this theory. But what if the color texture already has a pretty dark/near black texture? Then multiplying the AO into the diffuse won't amplify the dark effect that much. In that case you ought to benefit more from multiplying a separate AO map into the… -
Re: Slight Confusion on twist bones in Max
[ QUOTE ] EDIT, EDIT: To better explain my reasoning, that the regular bone wont show the twist influence? So use it on parts of the joint that normally are static. In example, the ulna never changes position. the radius and carpals revolve around it. [/ QUOTE ] Unless you are doing a medicinal model for which you need a… -
Re: I need career advice considering all this crazy AI stuff...
And that ought to be the motivation in itself. To be honest, not a lot that AI creates is usuable as is. And there are lots of limitations in its use for larger companies. For example a company in Canada that runs on government subsidies would do well to maintain its workforce. Liquidating its workforce in favor of AI… -
Re: How can I get a mask from tile sampler?
Usually people use shape splatter nowdays . It has a companion data extract node for this. If for some reason you don't want to use shape splatter. It has very limited scale range on narrow textures 256x2048 for example . So sometimes sampler is a better choice. In such case you can use a trick of giving your inputs some… -
How to draw - mirroring tilted planes
I've recently purchased Scott Robertson's How to Draw and I want to make sure I understand this section on page 36 correctly before I move on so it doesn't bite me later. The part that I'm unsure of is creating the plane to be mirrored and the mirror plane relative to each other. My understanding is that in step one, you… -
