Re: 3Ds Max Chamfering vs Blender
Hey wirrexx, I have a i9 (8 core 16 thread) and a 12 core threadripper. I don't notice any slowdowns and don't have SMT turned off. Is there something specific that is causing the slowdowns, or a particular scene? I'd be happy to look into this. The best way is giving us something that is reproducible on our end. It makes… -
Re: Sci Fi Scene CE3
Wow. Looks Really Good! I'm a young newbie artist (only 16) trying to get to where I can do some detailed modeling in 3ds max, and I must ask, where did you learn to create and use textures efficiently? I've been looking for tutorials everywhere. Once again, looks aweseome so far. Keep it up! -
Re: RGCA - best animation/best use of iclone - Direx
Reply by atzetm · · Home› Contests & Challenges Archives› Reallusion Game Character Animation ContestUSE AT YOUR RISK; do not use abusively. May 2015a.d. Me is intending to participate with the contest, and curiously looking at the forum posts. Thanks for posting the 90 k polygon counts. Me has been making 1 M polycount models, decimating to 16 k, but the results not satisfactory. Maybe me will try the higher count, but… -
Re: ShaderFX: Trying to use Texture Maps with a For Loop. Possible?
I didn't figure out a good dynamic shader network yet, but I hooked up a 4x4 multi-texture system manually T_T. Tried loading 16 random 4k textures that I found with google image search. Worked well in the Maya viewport. I based it on 4 being the base number. So they range from u1_v1 -> u4_v4. -

Re: Wages in VFX, Animation and Games Spreadsheet
Apparently this guy made the chart http://vfxsoldier.wordpress.com/2010/08/16/wages-in-the-vfx-animation-and-games-industry/ Looks like he compiled it from a couple of voluntary and anonymous surveys conducted from 02 to 09. That means that the data may be inaccurate and may be mixing numbers that do not match up. Plus,… -
Re: PLZ HALP ME (Cintiq 21 UX Dtz 2100)
The 21UX do not have any touch features. There is no need for any CD, don't believe any of that nonsense. On Win7, driver 6.3.11w3 works for the black 21UX. No idea about Win10, and not sure if that applies to the grey ones too. The 21UX series may be old and they have quite a bit of parallax, but they have better latency… -
Re: Mudbox or ZBrush?
I've had a hard time getting good detail using Mudbox's painting tools, the brushes would be fairly imprecise and, more importantly, leave very jaggy brushstrokes. I was using a 4k map, in 8 bit however.. would switching to 16 bit help, maybe? Basically went back to Max's Viewport Canvas, which works surprisingly well. -
Re: How far do you usually space your UV's when baking? (at the edges)
Between 4 and 16 pixels depending on the texture resolution. If you happen to know what your texture and normal map content is going to look like between two shells and they are very similar you can squeeze them closer. Conversely, if you know you are going to have radically different texture information you can give a… -
Re: Do you really want to work in 3D indutry
@ace: I don't know about other studios but the one place I worked at those that weren't actually working and getting work done got fired sooner or later. When was working freelance I was either starving with no work to do thus lots of free time or I was booked solid working 16 hours a day or more, not very much in between.
