Re: Mudbox 2014
Well I hope they get rid of the bug where I can't select an object in the object list, or where I can't select an object and that object is also hidden... -
3ds Max conform tool
OK let me explain what I am trying to do (this could get confusing). I am looking for a tool that essentially works the opposite of shrink wrap. So I believe there is a tool in max where you can have a large object (lets say a sphere) with a smaller object inside it (lets say a cube). From here I think there is a tool that… -
light maps, and their implementation in engine
we're looking at getting some lightmap support so we can get some nice prerendered lighting ingame. Since we dont have massive environments or a sophisticated in-engine lighting system we'll be rendering the maps from maya and the game will apply them to the corresponding objects. The way we're going to do that is by… -
3DS Max 2015 Spline + Cloth Sim = Large Collision mesh problem
Hey guys, I'm trying to do a quick cloth sim to just get some nice cloth distortion and save me the trouble of sculpting it in Zbrush. Issue: I've made a spline with a sweep modifier that cloth is to drape on, the spline always acts like it's collision mesh is far bigger than itself: I'm in SP2. My steps to try and fix… -
Question regarding Texel Density.
Hey there lovely people! Here's my question: Let's say that the project I'm working on asked me to maintain the Texel Density at 1024 per meter (so a 1x1 meter tile has a texture resolution of 1024). So far, so good. The problem I'm having is managing UV space when the object I'm working on is either too large or too small… -
[WIP] CRKT Provoke Karambit
Refs: [spoiler] [/spoiler] WIPs: I've started too many projects for my portfolio and left them incomplete due to experiencing difficulties, so I figured posting a WIP thread would help motivate me further to finish assets. I love hard surface modeling and simpler objects don't really hold my interest, so I've chosen this… -
17gb for a treasure chest...Help?
hello guys, i have been trying to learn the art of 3d, to work professionally. While my sculpting and modeling gets better, i have stumbled upon a problem i cannot find a solution online. I've made a treasure chest, made of 8 objects, a total of 6k tris in 3ds max, imported it in mudbox, where i divided those objects… -
importing scenes from Max into blender SUCKS!
I've been playing around with learning Blender and trying to import a scene from 3DS Max comprised of about 150 models and 50 dummy objects. The obj format exports models quite nicely, but does not preserve the hierarchy and doesn't support dummy objects (among other things no doubt). So I tried every exporter blender… -
Environment Training Challenge
I just thought of something... Why not start a list of Environment objects to model for practice? SO! The following is what I need from YOU, the polycount community, if you would be so kind: - List of Basic, yet challenging objects to create. - List of Intermediate objects to create - List of Advanced objects to create -
Re: Creating a good metal texture or: My metal is not metal enough!
Static Cubemaps are relatively cheap, use them! Dark diffuse is used because many metals actually have a dark diffuse color. The difference between this dark diffuse and the bright 'specular' highlight is what gives many metals their unique look. Your specular map should have many details that are NOT in your diffuse as…
