Re: High poly to low workflow using Maya
A Live surface has been around since pre-Maya 6, I am pretty sure. It is the plain Magnet icon next to the rest of your snaps on the top right. I import two instances of the "medium poly" (a lower subdivision level of the high-poly version) and put them on the same layer, I make one semi-transparent with a Lambert… -
Re: Looking for advice and techniques for tree leaves
Since you're a 3dsmax user, I say use the treemaker script (posted in the linked to thread) its a great little script and uses particles to create facing planes, which can be converted to regular non facing planes if you wish.

Re: next gen woes?

DAZ to 3DS Max Bridge - VRay render
DAZ3D recently released a free script that does an outstanding job at converting a Genesis + clothes + Hairs into an fbx very well configured / rigged / skinned character. Some textures aren't placed properly and need to be moved/reassigned, the material editor once converted to VRay needs some manual cleaning. But it's… -

Swap bone tool

It simply replace the selected bone to another one while keeping the same weight :) Mainly useful when your mirror paste doesn't work… -
Looking for Portfolio Feedback
Hi polycounters! I'm here humbly asking for some feedback on the layout of my portfolio website (which I just published recently). I don't own a tablet and my smartphone recently died on me, so if you can preview the site on handheld devices and see an issue, that would be especially helpful. Feel free to comment on the…
