Re: Alternative solutions, possibly next gen solutions...
About the custom edge normals... I tried doing that a little while ago but I got fed up with how often Max would reset them to the default angle if I were to use modifiers, collapse the stack, etc and decided it was really more work than it was worth to set them up. Instead of modifying the edges I just stick a containing… -
Re: just a simple collar?
The Turbosquid example is just the guy modeling the 'jacket' and then applying a Shell modifier to give it thickness, period. The whole thing has volume, not only the collar. On the other hand, if you want to be really cheap, just detach the parts of the model that you want have thickness and apply a shell modifier, then… -
Re: Relax UVW in 3ds max 7 sucks?
I have heard grumblings of separate advanced UV apps in the works, so we'll see. But Daddy I want it NOW! Well, I did just find I can trick DeepUV into working with Editable Poly. Once it imports back, I stick a Turn To Mesh modifier below the Deep UV modifier and the coords pop into place. The >1 UV channels were… -
Re: Sketchbook: NGS616
Thank you! Yes, it was existing geometry, It's just like you said the smoothing deformed them. But i'm planning on detaching them and making new ones. he's gonna need some pretty well sized claws and the hand on the base mesh won't do. For the base mesh i modified the base mesh i created for the soldier above, yet didn't… -
Re: what ever happened to plug in player models?
With Q3, UT2k3, UT2k4, FarCry, Battlefield1942, Battlefield2...and so on...etc. One thing has stood in my way for creating custom player models. Max. I'm not willing to download a copy of it, or pay $3500 for software just to modify a $30 game character. Gmax was retarded. I'm not willing to learn Blender. Now I'm happy… -
Re: Biped/Skin - Problems
Alright, for the scaling, try the following: -Export the Skin weights -Delete the skin modifier -Scale the mesh properly, adjust the height of the biped to match -Apply a new skin modifier, add all the bones to it -Import the Skin weights, using "Match by Name" That should do the trick. As for the mirroring, I've never had… -
Re: HK VP70
Don't know what you mean by that.. But I started this with a plane, molded it into the grip, added polies for the rest, with a symmetry modifier, collapsed that, made necessary changes for correct asymmetry. The slide I just made polygons inside the rest of the guns object, then i detached and did another symmetry… -
[Substance Designer] How to expose color input
Very quick question. I would like my SBAR file to allow users to modify the albedo color and the roughness value. I don't remember how to do. Thanks in advanced. -
3ds max render to texture
I am getting triangles in normal map generated by render to texture.You may ignore the black artifacts as they are the ray miss check and I know how to fix it but I can't get rid of these triangles. I have tried various things such as targa, tiff, increased the push amount of the cage, and from the modifiers - smooth, mesh… -
Mirrored UV´s Issues
Here is what i do: 1.) Unwrap the half of my Model in Headus UV Layout, Export. 2.) Add Symmetry Modifier in 3DsMax, Collapse Stack. 3.) Add Unwrap Modifier go to Tools\Select all Inverted Faces Offset them by 1. 4.) Horizontally Flip each UV Island that i just moved. So this is one Side of the mesh, as you can see it´s…
