Re: Baking workflow improvement
If you're in 3dsMax, you can make the cage with the projection modifier. Apply an edit mesh on your geo, then projection on top, and adjust as needed. Then, export the mesh as .SBM (xnormal file format) and choose the lowpoly preset. In xnormal, activate "use cage" on the lowpoly mesh settings and it will use the one from… -
Re: ProBoolean question
Maybe you have decimation set to zero? http://download.autodesk.com/us/3dsmax/2012help/files/GUID-7621338C-661E-4A8E-9CC5-87DC8420D51-269.htm You can remove them by adding an Edit Poly modifier, and clicking on Remove Isolated Vertices.… -
Re: Tree making fast technique?
Has anyone got a tree succesfully from 3dsmax into UDK using an FBX file? I'm getting the same issue as the user above. When I import into Unreal the UV / Texture is completely wiped out. It also complains about having no smoothing groups. Setup is 3dsmax 2009 64 bit and I used the original normalthief if that matters any.… -
Re: Does Maya have an equivalent to Softimage Prop Model Tool?
I agree with poop on this one, the tools you're after have been in 3dsmax for a long time. They're easy to get to and work a lot more like you want. What you're asking Maya to do, can only sort of be done and not nearly as quickly and easily. Nex raises the bar a bit, not really enough. If you're going to buy plug-ins for… -

Is ZBrush perspective camera correct now?
Is the camera in Zbrush correct now? I have been reading about ZBrush camera being different from cameras in 3dsmax, Maya or Blender and because of this when sculpting likeness the 3d model's porportions will be incorrect when imported to these 3d appliactions. What is the correct focal length to sculpt in ZBrush? 50? If I… -
The Man Who Can't Breathe character
Hey Polycount, thanks for stopping by ! I did this character on my freetime for the last 3 weeks, I streamed most of the process on my twitch channel ( except the long renders ! ) . I had a lot of fun creating these dirty textures in Mari. This is rendered in Vray for 3dsmax using Alsurface shader. The character itself is… -
Re: Any good video game design schools in seattle?
I hear ya about digipen, but it really is the best in the area. My personal feeling is that portfolio trumps any kind of paper it accompanies. Out of the people I've met and worked with, a lot of the artists at big and small studios, acquired their how skills through self teaching and they refined their artistic talent… -
Re: LOW-POLY ART
Hey all, some brilliant stuff in this thread, some really inspiring pieces.

Any crits, comments and praises are all equally welcome =) hope you all like. Was also rigged and posed within… -
Re: Welding UV vertices
You can't weld these vertices because they dont physically share anything (3dsmax is telling you it doesn't make sense). Unwrapping is like modeling but in reverse, you can't weld overlapping stuff. What i do when working in the UV editor is, i select an edge (or vertex)and look closely at where his shared twin sits…
