Re: How many material IDs can you have?
omg i accidentally just pressed 'report' instead of reply... sorry if you get some weird message from a mod. here's what i intended to reply to your post with: Right. At work I would never have that many materials on a single object, but in this case it was just for a single high rez portfolio shot and i wanted to get it… -
Re: Modo to UDK
Use Zoltan's ASE export script. It works most of the time. Sometimes it won't export smoothing correctly, but usually that means you need to restart modo. You also need to setup your units to match Unreal 1:1, meaning editing the script might be necessary(can't remember if I needed to or not). It can export skeletal meshes… -
Re: Mari +Zbrush
mrnpc, im sure it makes a difference though that you are in their back yard as opposed to someone/some group thats much farther away. I have no doubt about Mari's capability, but I question the accessibility front and how its being presented for a market outside of vfx and film. The market has texturing applications,… -
Re: The romance of 'Next-Gen': Where is it?
I think the thing is though, the average gamer doesnt want to drop 300-1000 dollars every couple years to upgrade their pc, when they can just buy a game, know it will work on their console, and chill on the couch while playing it. most people I know outside of the game industry who play games are kinda the opposite of… -
Re: Polycount Update - BUGS & SUGGESTIONS
@pior Those mockups are great... Basically, something that if visually between what we have now and the old look. @adam responded to my question about the avatar/author info. I understand the logic but I think the separation ends up wasting space.. If you stack the avatar over the other info like in @pior s mockup then you… -
Re: New Conan The Barbarian (Movie) Footage!
Ok so I too feel kinda odd about the superkid aspect of it. I mean, I am all for respecting the original material but in a way this just look too ... staged, if you see what I mean. If a kid has such strong skills I would expect the visual style of the movie to reflect it, almost in a Sin City way - Showing the "berserk"… -
Re: [3dsmax and Zbrush] AMD Zen performance vs Intel CPU's.
Interesting thread, guys! Just for those who's curious - tested my Core i7 7700k (stock clocks, 4 cores, 8 threads) / z270 / 32 Gb RAM in ZBrush. Here's what I've got: Single Thread Timer = 1.923 Multi Thread Timer = 0.626 Multithreading performance = 307% Compared to i9 7940x - 7700k looks ~30% slower in multi-threaded… -
Re: Project: Contingency - A Fan-Made Halo Game
Hi! One of our devs actually recently was at RTX where he spoke with both Frank O'Connor (Franchise Development Director at 343) and Jessica Shea (Community Manager), they confirmed what we had expected. So long as we abide by Halo's terms of service, we should have no problems. In short this means: 1. We cannot use any… -
Re: Why is everyone using massive PNG files for their shots?
Yeah... I was going to ask when the new WAYWO thread gets made if the top level post could ask people not to post PNGs. Thing I hate most is when people try to play the "well your internet sucks" card. I'm on a 355 Mbps connection, that's almost 30x faster than the average American broadband connection (and more than 10x… -
Re: Nasty AO results with Max 2008
I don't have Max near me, but my workflow for setting up an MR render is as follows; Set your renderer to Mental ray (duh) Apply an ambient occlusion pass to your diffuse of the material Samples anything from 100-300, spread around 2.5 Right click on your lowpoly, properties -> object ID should be a positive number, we''ll…
