Normals/Displacement Maps
Hi, A few questions if I may..I understand that normals work well in game engines etc but if you are doing work that is to be rendered out and used in computer or tv playback...what is the best method to get fine details onto geometry?

3DS Max elements get "swallowed" when rendering?
Hello everyone, So this is my first real post in these forums, and unfortunately its already a request for help. I'm currently trying to model a low-poly oak tree. For this purpose I modeled the high-poly branches with "real" leaves, which I then wanted to use to bake the texture maps. However, whenever I want to start the… -
zBrush curve animation style as 3ds max spline animation?
Hi guys, I recently was looking for a way to animate splines in 3ds max the way zBrush curves are snake like sliding. To make it more easy, I left the "over a surface" aspect apart.

[MAX] VRay and Lightmap generation storing "Shadow info" on alpha channel
So this 3D engine I'm using(and I can't change the tech sadly) seems to use lightmaps(just simple 2D dds textures which are mapped to the second UV channel in geometry) in quite a particular way for large chunks of terrain. It seems to read the alpha channel from the lightmap and use it as a multiplier to the lighting… -
