Re: Diablo III Skeleton King
Using tris doesn't change a thing unfortunately. But I asked in the technical forum and MrNinjutsu found the problem : the mirrored UV's have to be offset by 1 out of the UV square. I tried this and it works fine ^^. Jinn15 : I agree with you for the axe. I will only bake one blade to take less UV space, so I guess I will… -
Re: Best 4k Laptop for game design and Photography?
Yes, at 32 inchs 4K will look great, but at 15 inch it'll cause eye strain. The size of the screen dictates what resolution makes the most sense to run it at, with the higher the resolution the larger you want it and vise versa. The eye strain you mentioned when looking at a 1080p set was likely due to it being too big… -
Re: Max to Illustrator or Orthographic outlines
Max 09 upwards can export .AI for illustrator, but ive never tried it so I dont know how it works (I think your geometry, need to be splines) but im sure you can fint a tutorial on google or wait for someone who knows to come along and answer, alternative to ink and paint, would be mental rays contours. EDIT: Ink and paint… -
Re: Animating Normal maps to achieve rain drops in 3DS Max or Unity3D
Okay I didn't know that, thanks. I actually want to have refractions only for the water drops, in ShaderForge, there is a refraction option but it affects all the surfaces that has the alpha value below 0.5, since the glass it self is under this value, then the refraction affects it, which results a refracted windshield,… -
Re: UV shells distribution and texture painting
You'll have to forgive me for the ignorance :/ , but... This is the first time I heard about vertex painting... what is it exactly? And I'd like to know about how can I improve my texturing quality. For instance, in the image I'm showing (… -

Re: Texel Density makes bakes look bad on important areas
In theory there is a tool to change the scale relative between islands when packaging in the UV editor. But I can not get it working, using groups or not. * "For example, say you group some clusters, and then select a polygon belonging to one of the clusters and set Rescale Priority to 0.5. Then you apply Pack Together or… -
Re: Shader - Specular Term - Fresnel
The way I've been using it is multiplying the final spec value by the frensel value then adding that to the diffuse * diffuse lighting. The fresnel value is usually extremely low (most non-metal surfaces are between 0.01 and 0.04 - metals can go up to about 0.5). This means that the specular result is strongest at glancing… -
Re: Abandoned Cathedral
Yeah, you are right about the leaves, I have set a value of 0,5 for emissive to not have them be completely shadowed. As for the weird shading, I think it's because I matched the normals of the branch planes to one of a sphere, so the ones on the lower half of the tree are not in the angle to catch the light. I'll tone… -
Re: I need advice of how to manage my time
i guess we have a different understanding of HS modelling, and i agree modelling is a super important skill to have, but what i usually do for characters, sculptingmeshes, a button here a buckle there, maybe some armorplates. But while you need to know modelling, there is a difference in the skill level needed between…
