Re: Xolul Installation Problem
The FX problem is when you get "unknown property .... in (null): DirectXShader". It means your installation failed for some reason, and you are missing the actual xoliulshader.fx files in 3dsmax/maps/fx. You can fix that by simply opening the MZp with winrar, locating those FX files and extracting them to the maps/fx… -
Re: 3dsmax straighten map using a quad as reference

Re: Normalize UVs Maxscript
Nope sorry can't send you, but I can help diagnose! Ok I have tested it more again, undoing the 25k mesh (which we'll call "the ship" from now on, since its a ship) actually does work (after enduring 4mins of pc dying :p ). But then I opened up an old character and duplicated and attached the model several times until it… -
Re: Wrapping fabric/Duct Tape around an object
Yea... conform would only work on single sided poly strips. From there you would have to shell it then and model the tape to overlap. If you use it on anything but a single sided poly it will not turn out well... Here is how I would handle it (pun totally intended) /rimshot Take a box, delete the top and bottom and size it… -

Re: Confusion with Normal baking issues around edges/borders
I won't go into details since everything has been very well covered already (and that's an understatement !) but I'll just share the way I personally tend to review this kind of stuff when receiving files, and what I notice without even doing a test bake. - First off I open the low in FBXReview. It's as barebones as it… -
Re: Accreditation (US). Students should read.
A quick call to a regionally accredited school would confirm if they accept transcripts from other schools. The odds of a regionally accredited school accepting a degree from Full Sail or Digipen ("national" accreditation) is zero. The Gnomon School is "up front" about their degree not being accepted for transfer by… -

Thats completely fucking ridiculous - it is THIER fault for offering an un-trackable service for an expensive item. Down right incompetent. USPS Priorty flat rate envelope is like $5, why they were sending first class w/o delivery confirmation(the only service I can think of that doesn't offer tracking) is beyond me.… -
Re: UDK Anoying Normal Map Seam Doesn't Make Any Sense.
Update, Ben I actually tried mirror left to right instead of top to bottom and it made it worse? Anyways it appears as those using mirrored normal maps will always have this issue. If anyone has a solution or work around please let me know. BTW Ben, it looks like Modo FBX files dont save out normals correct, and collada…
