@poopipe all makes sense, thank you. Another question I was going to make a new post about, but it's related to this a bit. When making tiling textures like wood or a trim sheet, I've mostly always authored those at 2k because that works with my texel density which is often 512 or 1024 per meter for things Im working on.…
Hey all! So I have a couple of questions regarding the auto LOD Screensize values that get assigned to meshes, how exciting! Currently I'm having issues with the numbers being automatically set when you generate the LODs, the issues I keep coming across is poorly set values, LOD 1 = .075 (thats ok), LOD 2 = .072 (what?)…
Hey fellas I could use some help with getting my character into udk. I am a rigging & unreal script noob here. I have searched all over. I want to use my character with the UDK animations. I rigged my guy in Maya 2012 using the HumanIK Skeleton Generator. 1. Is this wrong. If there is a skeleton for Maya that works…
Our game is more or less an example of what happens if you're not decisive enough with your design, try to do too much and your team doesn't have the skills and or experience to pull it off. Still, a valuable learning experience if nothing else. http://globalgamejam.org/2012/j%C3%B6rmungandr Our entire jam (120+ people) is…
Heya! I'm having some trouble with an exported .mtl. The Guruware .obj exporter (3dsmax 2012) exports both the "Tr" and the "d" tag. The specification (link) says that they're both used for the same purpose, transparency. That they're both exported isn't so much the problem, the real problem is they don't contain the same…
Heya Peeps, Quick question, anyone experience sluggish responses when in Editors like the Material and Kismet (mostly Material) in UDK? I recently upgraded from December-2011 to May-2012, and the entire thing feels very...slow. Materials take forever to make changes (I noticed a 184.76% increase in node loading times,…
This asset is intended for a real-time/game environment. I’ve attached the reference images I’m aiming for, along with wireframe and UV layout. The asset currently uses a single 4K texture set at 512 tx/m. No trim sheets or tiling textures were used. After rendering, the textures feel a bit softer/blurry than expected, and…
Hi everyone, Over the past couple of weeks I've been learning Maya. (I'm using the 2012 version). I am now experimenting with lighting and rendering. Over the past couple of days I have encountered a strange (and annoying!) issue. When I render my scene on "preview," I get the following. When I render my scene on…
I love modeling in 3ds max but 3ds max 2012 64 bit runs slow on simple operations like jumping out of edit poly and into turbosmooth. I turned off direct x and re-enabled nitrous but its still the same. I turned off Aero on my windows 7 and I even ran max as admin but I get the same results. I am not sure what I can do at…
I'm currently having an issue in 3dsMax 2012 with Physx and concave mesh types not simulating properly. I have tried in both 2.91.10904 and 3.00.01116 to create dynamic rigidbody objects (chain links) with concave set as mesh type. I have regenerated the meshes and the collision seems to be fine on the models. However,…
