Re: Goblin for small dungeon crawler release
The texture has very little colour identity because you've shaded with black and white, and it's doing a very poor job describing the material. I take it you used dodge/burn on parts? While I wouldn't discount it completely, it's rarely a good choice of tool. I'd suggest just laying down a dark colour (dark green, brown,… -
Re: Not the standard Maya vs 3DS Max
I use both Maya and Max, and they are both pretty much the same in terms of modeling. Whichever one you use would be fine. Maya: hard/soft edges easier to use than smoothing groups (plugins can add soft/hard edges to max) snapping is better in maya (max sucks in this regard) UV Unwrapping is better (plugins can almost… -
Re: Do any of you professionals rate Paul Steed?
I had to re-train numerous artists who read his first book, as his techniques were absolutely archaic. He's a good artist, but is not known for being the best technician. I won't pass judgement on the new book, but look for the following topics, which most people would consider to be important when doing character work,… -
Re: Normal Mapping utility for 3DS MAX 7 and 8!
Per128 brings up very great points. You also say that companies do not use free plugins. This you are completely wrong in. Plugins like Xnormal, Nvidia, and even other plugins such as texporter have good foot holds in a billion dollar industry. Just as a consumer would want the free option a company looks for the same.… -
Re: Quads Wireframe in Marmoset?
to visualize it in the marmoset editing scene, the model will look like triangles, although you export it in quads from your 3d program, however, when you export to the marmoset visualizer, the model will be back in quads, like you I exported it from the beginning. Greetings. -
Re: [3DS Max] Totally, I mean totally strip an Object Material.
That's the fault of the exporter then. It must be using the wire color, which you can't kill. Can you find a better dae exporter? Is dae a text format? Maybe hand editing is the way to go, a Python script could be used to strip it out after export. -
Re: Can't combine mesh in maya?
This might be something different, but make sure when you export your mesh from Maya the object isn't parented under any groups or all that stuff goes with it into Unity. Also make sure you're using the Export Selected option and not Export All. -
Re: XNormal and Max differences!?
The OBJ exporter that comes with 3dmax is very buggy. It messes completely the vertex normals ( specially if you export box objects ). Avoid it. Better use other format like ASE, FBX or 3DS... For xNormal better use the SBM exporter because will be the fastest to load. -
Re: Vertex count for 2 UV layouts
there's a best case : exported vert count = number of verts in mesh and a worst case : exported vert count = number faces * 3. it will always be in that range, as been said above splits in uv mapping will add to the count at export but also hard edges in smoothing and vertex color will too. -
Re: Is there a way to convert a Substance Painter file from spec/gloss to metal/roughness?
SP converts from one workflow to the other automatically on export if you choose to export those maps (remember to pick the maps from the box in the right if you make a custom preset, those are the converted ones). So you can work in one workflow and then export to the other.
