[3ds max 2011] Frustrating lag when changing sub-object modes
Hi guys, I've been having this problem for a while now. It happens on 3ds max 2009 too: I get a horrible lag when changing sub-object modes or when selecting an object for the first time. 3ds max just freezes for a second or so. It feels like 3ds max is having a hard time populating the rollouts, it flickers for a while… -
[ZBrush Core] Computer starts typing random symbols/ Program stops working
Hi everyone! I was wondering if anybody would be able to help me with a problem I've been having with ZBrush Core. Ever since I downloaded it a few months ago, after a random amount of time (a few minutes to 4 hours), hotkeys/functionality in general stop and if I leave the program, I only type in symbols (shown below). I… -
Re: Feedback from those who know about 3D art.
You asked for it. Remember you can also ignore this post. If you did not appreciate the response. Long story short; its very cold & mechanical but i don't see much cuteness & fun factor, (for me). Think a stylized approach to this kind of design would've spoken louder than a startwars rolling bot (one of the many they seem… -
Re: [Maya][shaderfx] PBR + Metalic/Roughness shading model ?
You can use custom code nodes to handle whatever you want within full ShaderFX I've ported the diffuse and specular IBL models found in the substance designer shaders to ShaderFX successfully this way and they work great. Obviously you need to understand vaguely how the code works but it's not that hard Edit. It did mean… -

Re: Blended normals in UDK?
It won't let me use a worldNormal node in a pixelshader input. Either way, I'm quite certain that you have to do it with two diffuse calculations, otherwise you won't get the RGB channels to differ and get the desired effect. I mean, no matter how much you modify the normal input of one diffuse calculations you will only… -
Hawken players around? I have $50 in-game to give you. Don't need it.
I built a new computer and got this $50 Hawken in-game-credit code with one of the parts, I think it was the i7. I don't play Hawken and really rarely play any games (not that I don't want to, but I have an 8 month old at home so...). Anyways, I figured I would offer it to a polycounter first. PM me for the code. First… -
Re: Height based Texture Blending in 3dsmax?
it's possible to do anywhere with Max ("lighter" in photoshop terms) and subtract arithmetic nodes working with texture pixel values (blending modes) . Perfectly doable in Photoshop, Substance Designer/Painter, Blender shader nodes, etc Sure in 3dMax too but i did it years ago in old shader fx only before they bought it.… -
Major UT3 Update
Epic Games has been quietly working behind the scenes on a M-M-MASSIVE update for Unreal Tournament 3. However, the most exciting news may just be that this is only the beginning - a very small part - of what they have in store... SUMMARY OF MAJOR FEATURES:* Major enhancements to Server Browser * Visual and menu flow… -
Lightmass keeps failing. Ugh.
Recently upgraded from a 2010 version of UDK to April 2011. As I am running XP64 here at home, I can't get much more current than this. As a side issue, if anybody knows the most recently possible build of the UDK I can get is, that would be nice... ...but that's just a tangent. This pathetic cry for help is about…
