[3DSMax] Animation curve viewable as offset from reference frame?
I'm trying to find if there's a way to view animation curves with as an offset from some reference frame's value (probably frame 0 would be fine) so that I can see X, Y Z movements of an object together at a reasonable scale. Currently the tracks have values in parent-space, which is fine, but they're absolute values. So… -
Re: How many assets per game level is too many?
To expand on what RN says - its not entirely 1:1 in practice. For static environment stuff on a sensible engine you can fairly safely consider 1 material to = 1 draw call but The definition of a material can be a little cloudy. Usually using the same Shader and textures will give you one material but parameter changes (Eg.… -
Re: current environment specs
1024x1024 is probably a good number, remember that 1K is 16x as many pixels as 256x256. 2K or 4K would really be overkill, especially if you consider 1920x1080 res, 4K would be 1:1 pixel ratio with a chunk of a wall 0.5m wide covering the entire screen, 2K would be about 1:1 at 1m. Though it really does *depend*, what sort… -

Re: 3DSMax-to-Maya FBX Scale issues
Hi, I had the same problem too ;) . Here are the settings that I used to fix the issues: Max Unit Setup: 1 Unit = 1 milimeter MAX to MAYA Max Export - Scale Factor 0.01 - Decimeters Maya Import - Scale Factor 1.0 Decimeters MAYA to MAX Maya Export Scale Factor 10 Milimeters Max Import Scale Factor 1 Milimeters… -
Re: FX Reel - Gotta start somewhere
Oh how I love bored people in bush, they provide us with so many good references. I agree with the glow at the start, I'll add something. As for the flame trail, it is a bit much. I was aiming for a style similiar to Far Cry 2. [ame] http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_w5yCwQGg3I[/ame] IIRC, my particle rate was 24 on the sky… -
Re: Maya to Max: Problems with UV sets
Just for future reference, and as you discovered, the obj format only allows 1 UV set. As for the FBX issues: 1) When you export from Maya, you can specify the units. By default it's 1 unit = 1 cm and the scale becomes 1.0. When you import in Max, you need to specify the units (i.e. cm to make the scale 1.0). By default,… -
Re: ref_at_norm_incidence
Well, that's schlick's approximation, so it's safe to assume that it says "reflectance at normal angle". In essence that's your specular value. It's not a bad idea to check out how the actual fresnel calculations work. the value of R (in the context of computer graphics it's more generally referred to as f0) is calculated… -
Re: Creating my first environment in UE4. Some questions!
The difference is that main asset will be 1024x1024px, and your barrel will be 256x128px. Or whatever in comparison to your main asset's texture resolution is. Right now your barrel would be using 256x128 of a 1024x1024 texture. Thats two 1024 textures, instead of a 1024 and a 256x128 texture. Think of it as cropping your… -
Re: Tileable pattern generator - 3ds Max
So, I kept the sizes 256/512/1024 like suggested and changed the sizes of the boxes. For the 3:1 herringbone 90 the size is 64x21.3 instead of 48x16 and for the 3:1 herringbone 45 the size is 90.51*30.17 (calculated with diagonals because they have a different rotation. I only tought they where a little bit too big…
