CYA, once it starts to go negative and they aren't turning around, they often take it and make it, personal. From what I can tell you're doing most of the right things but just to recap and reinforce for you or anyone else happening upon this thread, here are some points. Dumping on someone who is already down and out will…
imagine you are making a flat sheet of white plastic, but its covered in a layer of fine dust. would the dust affect the roughness or the metalic? firstly, its a pain in the ass so Im sure game designer people wouldnt mind me skipping it. but I was thinking that the dust would affect the surface's reflection of light a…
My workaround has been to open the UV editor via a shelf button that adds a custom panel next to the UV toolkit. When I want to add something I look up the MEL command for it and add an entry to the list. if (`workspaceControl -exists PixelBUV`) deleteUI PixelBUV; TextureViewWindow; global proc…
Let's start in reverse with #3. Atmosphere: this is completely in your control and it's up to you to decide. What atmosphere are you going for? Industrial? Something like Portal where it feels like a lab environment? You need a clear and cogent idea of what atmosphere you're targeting before you can decide on materials and…
Has this actually been solved because I am getting this issue... i hit Shift+C to select a color, and then i pick a smart material... i hit ok, and a similar issue occurs and it show the DDO window pre-render... i close that window and it brings back the post-render DDo window that i was working on with the smart material…
Yes, the reason is that max allows non-visible edges to be flipped any way you want, So when you run symmetry the center seam looks like this: \\// But to other applications this means "flip it however they want" which normally defaults to one direction, like this: //// When the tri-stripping doesn't match, you get seams.…
I think if you go in and don't intend to do any work outside of the assignments then its a waste of time. You might only be assigned to model 2-3 things thought out a year not going to get much experience that way. More and more places looking for people with degrees though so I think it helps a lot do have one now. I…

Hey guys, Sorry that it's taken me so long to reply to this thread. Almost a year in fact :O. Wow, how time goes so quickly these days. Anyway I just wanted to let you know that this project is still alive but it's had some complications over the last year that had forced me too put it aside and concentrate on different…
Crab is baked (which... surprisingly actually proceeded with zero errors at all), and now I am pumping out props and the diorama, and rigging for the final poses. One pose is super easy, but the in-action shot... Lets just say my test rig did not deal very well, lol. But here's a super glamorous shot of my rig at midnight…
