Re: Yet another normal-baking issue
@Earthquake - I'm using a cage, but I'm not doing anything fancy with, just Reset and a very small Push until I stop getting ray-misses. The shell doesn't follow the smoothing group's normal, though, it's following the normal as though the group didn't exist. Are you saying I'm getting a gap, even though the high poly has… -
Re: Developing Skill
If your new to modeling start with the basics first. Start with your basic industry standard modeling package like Max or Maya before even trying to learn zbrush. Zbrush is a great thing to learn after you have all the basics down in your traditional modeling packages as skills/knowledge/fundamentals pass back between… -
Re: Weird issue with normal map.
There are 2 major rules you need to follow when setting up smoothing groups for baking normal maps. #1) Set each UV island to its own smoothing group #2) If later you decide to add a smoothing split (a common decision if you find edges too harsh for your normal map to bake as one UV island), you must also make a UV split… -
Re: Budhist Temple - UDK
I don't think they are needed in the design. But yes, it's better now. For the box-ish comment, it's only if you want to follow the ref for proportions. It seems to me the top part in the ref is smaller/thinner than the lower part, and the lower part a bit wider. The flat line looks to be a bit higher than half the height.… -
Re: First Mel Script
The workflow to get the most out of the maya script directories is to... follow the action logic in the script editor echoes ( make sure you have "echo all" on when developing and off for performance ) Then use your editor's "find in files" function to search in those directories the relevant procedures. I use to use… -
Re: See you later guys, it's been real!

Some of our lives are extremley horrible and some people wish to die. But some people are afraid of death. Yet god asks us to always follow him and worship him. He… -
Re: Environment: Sci Fi Base
This is not a jab at you, Arman, but you should follow your own advice. I mean, you've been doing better with it, but I see you bounce around quite a bit as well. As for the scene, you're off to a good start. I'd follow a lot of the comments people have been making above, they're definitely on to something. Something that… -
Re: suit of armor
Hehe, missing a teapot, indeed. Anyway, what you really need to do is try to build the model around the human reference. Just get some ortho sketches, or photo reference in side and front view, if not from 3d.sk then freebies like these would do. Move those vertices so that the shape of your armor follows the human form… -

does 3ds max have mayas f8 functionality
I'm making character hair using cards. The tutorial I'm following is doing this in maya while I'm on max. The author did two steps that seems to be rather maya specific, wonder if anyone could help locating the same functionality on max. First thing he did was making cards that are 6 polies behave like it was quite…
