Re: Hand painted Creature
Hi again @Apocrs1980 For a well and more complex retopo, I do it on Maya with quad draw, which I'm so comfortable with it, and when its like a simple object I do some times in Zbrush, just when its a simple objects. Another tool (which is a plug-in) I use Diamant Tool for Maya, which is sooo!! useful for me to model, tweak… -
Re: Maya: Vertex Normal precision errors when smoothing mesh causing normal map artifacts
Well... back at square one. I tried this at home (different hardware than before) out of curiosity, recreating new scene with these issues. Soften edge won't do anything for my object in this instance. Object was never exported as OBJ. I also tried exporting as obj, importing it, unlocking normals, soften edge. Still no… -
Re: Damaged walls. How?
Assuming you want lowpoly objects you would do it with lowpolygeometry, otherwise normal maps, If you want a more detailed version you would do it with displacement/Tesselation. There is nothing special to it, you will have to model the objects individually or apply decals, or procedural ones with substance for example.… -
Re: 3Ds Max - Kitbash blender (similar to Polystein and Mesh insert)
Looks really useful. I am just wondering. Could I use this tool if I wanted to place army-pouches/backpack on a character model? Now I would merge the pouch to my scene and use normal align to make the backpack face in the right direction. If I could use this for objects that are attached to the surface as in the examples… -
Re: What to look for in a programmer?
I would be more inclined hiring someone who has programmed games before over someone who knows how to write objective C. Game programmers probably know some form of C and switching to objective C should not be that big of a deal. I'm pretty sure you need to find someone with an apple as well since i dont think you can… -
Re: 3ds Max problems
[ QUOTE ] 2) max9 by default disables backface culling (right click-> object properties (or edit)). you can manually enable it again there. [/ QUOTE ] It's now disabled by default to speed up viewport performance (it takes extra time to see if a face should be drawn or not as opposed to just drawing all the faces). If you… -
Re: Hold my hand through Max, please. Haha
I think that there is no way to avoid the double-click to select objects from the selection list. Max also have layers, and let me tell you that they are really good. The only way to edit geometry or several objects at once is to have them as elements of the same mesh. So, attach them, edit them, and if you want, detach… -
Re: Tire tread normal mapping?
In Maya the first is called a Bend Deformer or non linear bend deformer . Help file has more specifics on how to use it, I'm sure there are tutorials out there its a pretty popular tool. The second is found in Animate > Motion Paths > Attach to Motion Path (this causes a object to follow a spline). Then you can go, Animate… -
Re: Weird polygon display error in 3DS MAX.
hmm interesting so you create a new node (base object in max) and attached the faces to that. I remember having issues once with max baking where it would't store baking settings for objects, that very same trick worked for me back then. So I would assume that 3dsMax stores sometimes data or informations that is not… -
Re: mirrored local space normalmaps
yeah I know the theory about those, just not how the "day to day" useage is ;) like who is actually using object/local space normalmaps and do they run into compression issues... is the only reason they dont use it the mirroring thing or other stuff ? in those charts the "average" signal noise ratio is better for tangents…
