Re: max 2008 unwrap uvw
[ QUOTE ] the checkerboard is very useful to show on the model in the viewport to see how stretchy it is, etc. I don't know how to make it default to the texture, especially because you can have one object with multiple textures. . . [/ QUOTE ] Now if the checkerboard had some indication for direction it would be useful.… -
Re: does maya have any form of material inheritance?
I was thinking a level deeper than that really - eg. if you wanted to change how you unpacked a texture or add a parameter in the base material and have that propagate rather than having to muck around in each of your sfx graphs. in theory that process should work with .sfx files but my experience suggests it doesn't work… -
[3ds max] Help me to understand/recreate icon style from the game
Greetings. I would like to ask your professional opinion about such subject... Here are several item icons from one old game. From your perspective - are they drawn by hand (pixel art, etc) or rendered from the 3D model? Just for comparison - this is what i have got by rendering their ingame 3D models - images somewhat… -

Re: How to have player change skins or weapons in a 3D game?
To change the clothes your character is wearing in-game just change the player model's material. You could perform this action on a button press. Just write a script with a public function, get a player reference, get the player's material renderer component, and then change the material to something else. For the weapon,… -
Re: Should I learn to program (well)?
If you want to get into programming, or are just even thinking about it, then why not find something that can benefit you art as well? Why make the two seperate (though they would probably stay within games if you are focused on the industry), and instead use it as a supportive skill. There are tons of different ways you… -
Re: WAR PAINT - Q&A
Yes that. The underlying model format for a lot of relic's stuff is the same. There's one fan out there who made a whole ton of tools. One of which is a model converter script for 3ds max. I had to modify the script a bit to get it to work right with current max versions, but it still did the job of bringing the models… -
Re: Best UV relaxing tools?
uvLayout, anything else compared by it is just poor in performance, features and workflow including all specific UV tools that are on the market. But if you are just after relaxing its not worth the hefty price,- maybe then instead go with Roadkill, existing max/maya relaxing tools or like mentioned above the Crazy… -
Re: Best UV Unwrap software for 3DS Max?
The majority of artists don't have issues with the way the tools work, at least not to a point that they would stop making art and go write scripts and tools. If you have twisted and poorly organized UV's that's mostly a problem with your workflow. How you make something can vastly affect how the UV's come out. If you…
