Changing the way bones are displayed in 3DS Max?
Background: I've used some fanmade tools to convert a character from Street Fighter 4 to SMD, then used Cannonfodder's* SMD importer to get the model plus its rig into Max 2012. The plan is to cull the number of bones to 128, do the face morphing and then put the character to work in Source Film Maker. Problem: STARFISH OF… -
Robert Young -3D Artist/Texture Artist For Hire
My name (As you may have guessed from the title) is Robert Young, I am a 3D Prop and Environment Artist based in the UK, in addition to my 3D work, I can also create 2D Textures for use in game.

Re: Vector Displacement Maps and Bit Depth
The colors represents directions. Positive and negative x,y and z. Not literally negative value in the texture itself but it describes positive and negative displacement on the 3 axes. The bit depth, imagine it like this: On this image, I'm showing how some wave displacement bake would look like on 16 and 32 bits bit… -
Re: Crossing from Maya to Modo
Oh damn you are missing out on a buch! There are just way to many awesome scripts like the seneca ones, the Eterea Swiss Knife(bunch of tools)(http://community.thefoundry.co.uk/discussion/topic.aspx?f=119&t=81124), Eterea Slice Presets(makes subd modeling so much… -
Re: UV Workflow / Max 8
Pelt Mapping came with Max8 and I love it. I'll say it again in case you are hard of reading, PELT MAPPING. Google it, look it up in the help/tutorials Docs that come with Max (F1). Once you get the simple work flow down it saves hours of time. Being able to draw your seams down edges instead of cleaning up seams by… -
Re: [Maxscript] DotNet DataGridView Add() + MultiThreading = Max Crash
It doesn't crash for me, but there is about a 4 second system freeze when I run the script. Adding the 3rd line isn't causing the slow down. I can add 10 lines quickly, it's right after it draws the scrollbar that the freeze happens. I'm not sure this is the right place to use multithreading. Even the regular 3ds Max UI is… -
Re: Quixel Vs Subtance
I own both, and it's pretty much what other people have said: they can create the same end result, although their workflow differs in a lot of ways. I've been sticking with Substance painter due to the reasons Defragger mentioned: crashes tend to happen from time to time, but mostly, I feel like it's just waaaay too slow… -
Re: Homeless/Subway Scene?
Let me reiterate on the comment I made on this thread. Specularity is just the way light hits on an object. Therefore, if you want to have nice specular maps you will need to have a good lighting as well. If I were you, I would definitely improve the lighting before moving on to polishing your shaders, which usually comes… -
Re: [WIP] Castle Grayskull
Thanks X-One I added some trees, rocks, and more grass. A couple of problems have occurred when rendering now: - The trees are not casting shadows - Some weird shadows are appearing on the bricks of the castle I'm guessing both problems could be occurring from the light maps. But the trees a light map (UDK Generated). The… -
Re: The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim
Thanks for the answer, and a nice read that! Gotta respect Garriot for wanting to keep that in :) As for the Patch: I too was saddened to see it render Large Adress Aware useless, my game now runs worse and crashes constantly. When I used the LAA Patch on the Exe, I could play for hours without it crashing even once, and…
