Re: USS Enterprise Project
Your ship geometry looks super borked. No offence but it appears that you need to learn the very basics of modeling first like how to properly select stuff, scaling and so on.

Re: Help: Cell Shading; Contour lines.
I'm not sure how it handles in 3DS, but in SI Mental Ray's Ink/Toon shader gives two options for ink boundaries that are on by default: silhouette and interior. Checking the latter off gives a result that sounds like what you want. Perhaps the Ink 'n Paint material in Max has a similar option. Edit: Looks like it does.… -
Re: Questions about Face Weighted Normals in Production
Used Angle and Area weighted normals in Maya 2014+, results are pretty good without any tinkering (compared to Unweighted anyway), but in some cases we still used some scripts to align the normals to look best, mostly on cases where you had a beveled edge with only 2 segments (like a thin polygon strip). Also used them in… -
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. . .

Re: Maya 2009 polycount wishlist

HOWEVER the latest version of maya did upgrade the gizmo/pivot system, big congrats on that, but they need to keep going. It now can align to the average of the selection, or to a face. MoP broke down the… -

Re: WTF Nvidia!
My Asus notebook has a i5 2430m and a nvidia GT540M with 2gb of dedicated memory, no problems here, the gpu is recognized on most games (valve, GTA...) and 3dmax works correctly (well bare in mind it is not a top-notch card but it does the job) the only problem i've got with it is that i can't play the good old Command &…
