I would just cut the object that you want to tile say 1/4 of a texture on, and apply the tiling part to each cut section of your geo. I can do a quick example tonight if that isn't clear.
many apps, frameworks and engines freak out if you scale the bones or sometimes even other stuff- that's for example why it is always advised in max to resetXForm objects before exporting them- thouhg that wont work that easy on bones.
Sounds like what a 3d Castlevania should really be, maybe it will help serve as an example. A bit disappointing that it's only on PS3, as I don't own one! Otherwise, it does look really cool and I would definitely play it.
oh aand uh the pic I posted before is a good example, but whats up with the purple? my spec is yellow-green, and it doesn't appear that way in the model/materail editor, just in-game. anyone know whats up?
Micheal Bay needs to watch the Spidey 3 trailer. This is just another example how Micheal Bay is fing this. He just needs to make a GI Joe or MASK movie to hose all the cartoons I liked as a kid.
The math to avoid that is trivial, it's just that Max doesn't do it. Edit: or does do it after you fiddle with some buttons. Blender is an example of a 3d app which rotates uv coordinates in screen space regardless of texture dimension.
And use the forum descriptions to add a real description perhaps? Also, Pimping and Previews is the header for 3 subforums, would "Artwork Discussion" not be a better main heading? "Work opportunities" is a good main header for the 3 job forums for example.
I'm curious. The product page has an example normal map. It does indeed look cleaner but it's also missing some of the detail from the max generated map. It would be nice to see some samples of a complex organic object.
Faucet, now that's a better "next gen" example. I've been using that method for years, for wrinkling clothing, but never in real time. Snowfly, most games that use bone animation support non-uniform scale, move, and rotate.
http://www.clanserver4u.de/index.php?site=4 Scroll down to 'Booking Server' it is in German, and they only accept PayPal, but you can even get a server for one hour only. For example 3h with 12 players would cost 1.75.
