Re: Reduction Topology, Triangle Question
Basically if you have overlapping triangles at a pixel (technically a 2x2pixel area) the renderer has to consider all of them, which means it has to process that bit of the screen repeatedly It's not worth worrying about if the number of pixels involved is small or if preventing it means extra work, sacrificing modularity… -
Re: Toolbag 4 - Ray Traced Shadow Artefacts
@Sidney Eliot Generally speaking, these shadow issues are fundamental to all renderers, not specific to Toolbag. There are some tricks that can be done in raster rendering engines to soften shadow faceting somewhat, but as you note in the last part of your post it's a problem there too.

Re: Klaus Trailer- 2d Animation Technique??
I actually think the lighting is painted by hand. This may sound funny but that quality of realism isn't something I think computers are capable of yet. Whenever you see realistic skin in a game or movie, it always looks like a plastic doll or a very matte like play dough. But with Klaus, every frame is consistent in… -
Re: AK-47
It's much better, just some tweaks left. :) The rear sight is mostly correct - for the "lever in the middle when locked down" position, the flat area should be more or less horizontal; Example: The rear sight leaf is a bit different, in reality, but you can't see the area that's wrong in first person, so you could leave… -

Difference between "$" and "$selection"
I tried Google but it's hard to google "$" - So i wasn't successful. :) I#M using 3Ds Max 2011 64Bit I always thought $ and $selection give you the same result: the current selection. BUT If you have e.g. a box linked to another box, select the blue one and execute the code below, you'll get different results: Code with $… -
Making good mipmaps?
Anyone know of a tutorial, for example of recommended settings in the nvidia dds photoshop plugin, especially for textures using an alpha channel. Or maybe someone can give me some pro tips here ;) I'm mostly doing environmental textures, plants, trees. I've so far always used the default (triangle) mipmap filter. I guess…
