Re: A couple general environment art questions
1. ^ 2. No that would be dumb. All game engines uses metric unit system now. So then if you would have a 128 unit length wall you would need to apply 0.72 scale to get a 1m wall. However, having a 1m wall would enable you to easily scale to 2m, 3, or whatever, with simple numbers and no math needed. -
Re: Trust no one. - Colt 1911
If this file is totally hosed, you could try right-clicking on the file and going to "properties" in Windows Explorer, then flip over to the "Previous Versions" tab. If you have system restore enabled on your computer, there might be a backup listed there that you can restore from. I tend to work inside a Dropbox folder… -
Re: Problem with Weird Shapes in Maya
Try increase the near clip plane of the camera. (Click on the little camera icon with a note next to it. its in the top left of the viewport window. Right under the word "view") I have no clue if that will affect the render camera though. What are you using to render? Try switching to mental ray, if you cant find it try… -
Re: Photoshop breaking normal map
i am not sure if thats the right option, but under Customize>Preferences>Gamma and LUT you have to either enable or disable Gamma\LUT correction that might fix your problem. also its best if you don't mess around with the color profiles in Photoshop. they work for me, and they seem to work for everyone else, so there is… -
Re: 3ds max backface cull
EDIT: damn , should read more carefully... Internal Edges ALWAYS were culled, in all Max versions., this is nothing new It's one of the major reasons i actually enable BF culling, to be able to quicker understand geometry in dense meshes and Wireframe mode... IF you really want to see that edge, you would have to split… -
Re: DFAO Specular Occlusion - Alireza's Art Blog
Tip 11 - DFAO Specular Occlusion. Hi everyone! Some might not be aware, for enabling specular occlusion from Skylight you have to put a zero in front of "r.AOSpecularOcclusionMode" cvar. I have a extreme case showing that. Below is the comparison slide. https://imgsli.com/MTY0NQ Left is "r.AOSpecularOcclusionMode 1"… -
Re: max save script?
Max has a Auto Backup feature built in, its enabled by default and set to 3 iterations so you should check your autoback folder: C:\Users\USERNAME\Documents\3dsmax\autoback You can adjust the frequency and number of iterations in: Customize > Preferences > Files Tab > Auto Backup I have mine set to 10 files and 10min. -
Re: Zbrush 4R7 Lags when zoomed in close to a mesh?
I'm aware games and Substance Painter rely on the GPU, not the CPU. It was just an example. Any other app that is very CPU intensive runs fine though. It's kind of dumb how the document size influences so much, although I understand why it's happening. Anyway, Multidraw and QuickAndDirtyEdit were already enabled. I… -
Re: 3DS Max Viewport Blurs.
Two things that could help. Change MipMap to none. Check on "Match bitmap size as closely as possible". Might need to restart max for it to take effect. Like EQ mentioned the Area AA filter is a mess. In Render Setup (9) > Renderer tab, change the Anti Alias filter to Catmull-Rom and toggle Filter Maps and Enable Global… -
Re: Post lens effects - 3ds max
Wait, do you want the glow to be the same size in screen pixels, regardless of how close the object is? So a lamp right next to you would have a glow falloff of like 20 pixels, and a lamp down the street would also get a falloff of 20 pixels? That's how it works for the most part, unless you enable distance-based effects.
