A better way of aligning an edge/vertex on a certain axis in 3d max?
Every so often I find myself copying the X, Y or Z coordinates for certain edges/vertices and then selecting other edges/vertices and then pasting the copied coordinates into the field. For example this sometimes happens when I create a separate object and I want the bottom faces to be sitting on top of the top faces of an… -
Super High res SSAA screenshots in Unity
Hey guys we worked on a new feature for our SSAA tool which you can use to make really nice screenshots in Unity The cool thing is that you can work as usual on your scene in a small Unity workspace window, but take a screenshot in the size and format you want any time. So you could be working in 550 x 550 and then make a… -
Offsetting subtools to tile in zbrush isn't working properly
This might be a lot easier to understand if you could see the video tutorial I'm following, but it's a paid one so bare with my description alongside my texture screens. I used Nanomesh to lay out my leaves, sticks, and rocks. Then I went in manually to adjust any inter-lapping. So, onto the tiling portion. In said video… -
How to calculate a budget for a project
Let me preface this by saying I know that most questions along the lines of “how much does X cost?” or “how much should I charge for X?” can usually be answered “it depends...” Nonetheless, I’m in situation where I need to figure out a budget for putting together a team, and I’m struggling to figure out how much various… -
Re: I need to help
Well at least it's a reasonable start! Also by the way was it modeled off of a background reference image or concept art? I’ll recommend finishing translating each individual blocked piece, into a high resolution (sub divided high poly) artifact free base mesh which in my opinion believe is the actual core… -

Re: Max: xray/see-thru mode stopped being xray/see-thru
Nope. Alt-x is all or nothing. But you can use a shader to do a better effect, if you like. For example fresnel is a great technique (more solid on sides of model, more transparent in the middle). -

Re: Frankensteins lab
Lightmaps in Unreal store all lighting and shadow information in a RGB format so you get full color lighting and shadows. If you want to go with a full dynamic lighting solution you could use Crytek's Sandbox editor rather than UDK. Check out the Crysis Sandbox Editor - MASTER THREAD on how to get it for free, and my post… -
Re: 3DS Max --> UDK FBX export with animation
Hello every one! I think this topic would quite fit to my 2 questions. I read in the UDK manual that it is possible to use the same animation package for 2 different meshes, only the bones of the meshes has to be the same number, hierachie and naming. So I tried to import a skeleton in UDK - but without a mesh. And I got…
