Re: Monthly Community Noob Challenge August 2013 (10)
This normal map looks inverted. Try to flip green channel, change unpack min settings to -1 -1 -1 0 and compression settings to tc_normalmap. It's not necessary to add second uv channel if your mesh hasn't got overlapped uv's, you can simply tweak mesh settings to use first channel. Just change light map coordinate index… -
Re: Sketchbook: Stororokw
Did some more work on the hair shader. I cant seem to find a value for the offset h, so I am currently using a random offset, which is the cause of the noise in the specular lobes. Some gifs of the parameters: BetaM - Longitudinal roughness from 0-1 BetaN - Azimuthal roughness from 0-1 Shift: shifts R, TT ,TRT along hair… -
Re: Enviroment modeling and texturing questions
this is the first building ive produced so far,its a 512 x512 texture which programmers said is fine,4 total pieces 1 door,1 window,1 lower wall and 1 higher wall when i get all the building laid out ill make models which ill use to dress up the building and othersaswell likedraining pipes,lights etc -
Re: Nexon to buy Electronic Arts!?
Today: 9,200 employees. 1 in 8 an engineer. 1, 150 engineers. Next year: 9,700 employees. 1 in 2 an engineer. 4,850 engineers. 4850 - 1150 = 3,700 more engineers hired in the next year? 8050 not-engineers - 4850 not-engineers = 3200 not-engineer layoffs? The "1 in 2" quote must be wrong or I'm missing something. $23… -
Re: UV Mapping Issue - Mapping a 2048 by 1024 sheet
just work on a 1:1 ratio and revert back once done. Deep down at its core at least 3dsmax still assumes that the base of every UV is a square or cube (UVW), it doesn't really translate to non 1:1 ratios and thats why most tools just fail with it. Then again a non square map usually is not really that GPU or render… -

Re: 3DS Max: UV Script to weld Overlapping vertices.
It can easily be done as a script (or at least synchronizing the vert positions can be). The problem is processing the data quickly. Maxscript is not a fast language, and iterating over and matching the positions of thousands / tens of thousands of vertices could take a long time. Anyhow, here's a simple/unoptimized script… -
Re: 3D Realtime Character [WIP]
I thought i solved the problem in setting the right lightdirections in the shader. I implemented a chaseing cam, but now i realised that if i moving my char in the positive z direction. after passing the cam in positive z space the normals for some parts are flipped. If i move my char back towards the origin and in… -
Re: I hate maya...
Oh how novel, another 'Maya blows' thread! People never quite get this, but Maya is exactly what you want it to be. Target weld mel code: /* targetWeld- emulates the behaviour of the 3dsMax tool - snap selected vertex to location of a second vert, and weld/merge them. Campbell Strong 9/02 4.0 > 02/03 4.5… -
Re: Mudbox compared to Zbrush
Objective strengths of Mudbox: - VDM stamps - Stable 64-bit version for years - Eminently usable - Cheap subscription price - Better viewport - Robust layers - Crossplatform (runs on Linux) - Better map baking, although usually not so great that you'd want to use it instead of Xnormal in most situations - You can paint…
