Re: Portfolio Critique Please - Di$array
All good info. I'm going to steal this wisdom. @Di$array: I don't think it will be long before you land something. Are you willing to relocate? I'm kind of in a no man's land due to over abundunce of great artists and no jobs. I'm not at that point that my work says "wow, hire this dude" but I think you are close and if… -
Setting up a Large Camera Array
I am researching the feasibility of using about 20 cameras in Cryengine stitched together, and rendering out of each camera's sequence separately, then stitching them together in after effects. Now making that happen isn't really the hard part. The hard part is getting the cameras to be aligned as close to seamless as… -
PBombs and PArrays and Instanced Geometry and 3DS Max and Exporting
Okay so here I am using the PArray to generate explosion physics, and it's doing the job just great! Except for the fact that I need to export the physics animation. The instanced geometry produced by the physics calculations is attached to the PArray, and the PArray isn't exportable. Is there any way to: A. Fiddle with… -
Re: [MAXSCRIPT] Stack selection affects speed. How to achieve same boost using script?
Okay, sometimes you have to select in a loop, but the main issue in your original post was the duplicate work. You can take advantage of subtracting bit arrays to avoid the duplicated work. Check out these two functions below. The first takes 11 seconds on a default teapot and the second takes 1/10th of a second. The only… -
[PRACTICE] Complex array of multiple "Banana" Shapes in Base Mesh D:
I've got a workflow hang-up with modeling a stylized character shaped out of nothing but "banana" shapes. My usual method in Blender is using "Subsurface" boxes to model each separate/major part, then "union" them before later sculpting them -- but this mesh creates lots of garbage polys if I union too closely to the flow… -
Re: Learning Blender and Texturing
Well, as Blender-only user, I agree. Blender is not the same and, even with all the sculpting updates in recent years, it quite possibly will never be the same - Zbrush is highly specialized tool with insane sculpting performance (that treats geometry in completely alien way as far as I understand), where Blender has a… -
Problem with HLSL Terrain Shader(Texture 2D Array)
Hi, I use the HLSL function Texture2D.Load do retrieve texture information. These informations are 3 Texture Indicies, 3 Texture blend weights and 3 texture tiling vaulues. Now if 2 different texture indicies are blended which have different texture tiling values there are some kind of gridlines showing and i don´t know… -

Re: Maxscript skin help
Yay! That sorted it. In the interest of meing nice, here is the script too. Why did I write this? Well, max 7 has a skin weight mirror facility. Unfortunatley the scale I have to work at means that the threshold value is often too small, and I always have a few weights that won't copy - 0.001 is too small, 0.002 is too… -
Welbig's (Artais) Workshop
On Polycount I use my last name as my forum name but on Steam it is Artais. I have created the "Hidden Talent" (formerly Grand Inquisitor) set for the Silencer that is now in Dota 2, the Fel-Iron Clinkz set, and now the Warden of the Depths Morphling set.
