Re: Symmetry and Normal Maps?
If you use 3Dsmax 2014 to export that dropdown is irrelevant, you still get broken meshes from FBX. I tried FBX2013 and FBX2012 from Max2014 and both gave that same problem. It seems 3Dsmax2014 is what is broken rather than the fbx plugin. I had to export from 3dsmax 2015, 2013 or 2012 to get it to work. This problem was… -
Re: Deadlander
I didn't really like the last one so I made another iteration. His feet kinda suck but I can't avoid it - I should have built foot roll joints into the rig but ah well, I'll do that on the next character.

Re: Book Recommendations?
Conceptual books can be really good, rather than tools books. So don't grab a book on "Animating in Maya 2015" - grab books on learning animation principles like weight and overlap etc. Traditional hand-drawn still translates conceptually. For modelling, books on design and anatomy from a drawing or sculpting angle can… -
Re: Maya collada animation export
The horrible mess of the Khronos group's website has hidden all of the newer versions of their Maya plugins not on the very-visible-to-Google github but their very-hard-to-find Dropbox. If anyone in the future has the same problem, the 2014, 2015, and 2016 Collada/DAE plugins for Maya are here… -
Re: Need help with Mask generators (surface wear)
White is convex, black is concave, mid grey is flat I'd hazard a guess that method b looks wrong because your bake settings arent right. It'll be easier to diagnose from the normal map so post that up alongside next time. WRT projection distances.. I usually start with 0.01 frontal and 0.5 rear (relative to bounding box)… -
Re: PLS CRIT :D First time foliage
It looks nice, but why are you modelling individual blades? The more common approach is to create clumps of grass, render them to a texture, and then populate the field. You can get very nice results with 4-6 triangles instead of the 520 with your current arrangement. See http://www.crydev.net/viewtopic.php?f=315&t=100319… -
Re: [Maya 2009] To hide Light's icon in the Viewport?
Oh yeah Lamont it seems to work. But the locatorScale attribute doesn't accept 0 value on Maya 2009 It will give the following error :// Error: line 1: Cannot set the attribute 'volumeLightLampGroupLight_AA_CShape.locatorScale' below its minimum value of 1e-010. // But anyway, yeah, 0.00001 works perfectly. Really thank… -
Re: [P&P] - What Are You Working On? 2009 Edition!
great stuff super, harry and vitor! Thanks for all the replies on the painting guys. Aesir: I've thought about it but I'm still too new to painting to sell them people... I've given some away to friends though. I'm slowly starting up my own small business to sell tshirts, prints, magnets etc. Already got about 115 tshirts… -
Zbrush Summit LA Aug 8th-10th
Heya Polycounters! I'm hoping to attend the upcoming Zbrush workshop in LA 8th-10th, but cant afford a hotel or to drive back & forth...My sister lives 45 mins away in West Covina, but thats a bit far for my tastes. Any LA based polycounters want to put me up for 3 days? The summit is free to attend and located at the… -
Huge photoshop file size.
With game art shifting to larger texture sizes and 4096 being close to the norm how do you guys deal with large file size? Normally I work on all my maps at the same time, diffuse, normal, specular, gloss. One of my PSD files was 3gb and only had 115 layers at 4096x4096. Saving times are slow and huge there is huge memory…
