With Modo Radial Align Tool you have the option to conform your selection into a perfect circle but also to an N-sided shape like a Pentagon or Triangle. It also comes with a nice option called Rotate that it changes what edges get connected in case your geometry gest twisted. Anybody knows a script for Max or Maya for…
making your own is a bit on the 'easier said than done' side - i'm not exactly well versed in driver authoring but my surface level understanding is that it's a bit of a black box as far as Nvidia are concerned. AMD opensource their linux drivers but afaik not the windows ones. if we're doing conspiracy theories (facts)…
Texture format and bit depth for the normal maps? Also why is there a world-space normal map in Painter? Edit: I don't see a shading seam in Painter, maybe you forgot to attach that screenshot? I do see the normal map alone in Painter, and there is a color difference along the UV seam, but this is a necessary thing with UV…
What are some pro friends sites points? Just curious as I haven't personally heard any. Also one thing you should do is get a standared layout for all your pieces. Have them all different sizes, different backgrounds looks sloppy. Also your name isnt on any of your work and say an employee saves one of your images, passes…
Okay Oniram, here ya go. Huge image warning, guys. On this pistol the slide is steel with a polymerized surface treatment (kind of like tennifer), while the frame is injection molded polymer. There's distinct spec behavior differences between the two, so I tried to capture enough to show how the spec behaves on each and…
We have come to the decision to notify our employer. We have goggled further on the matter and came to the conclusion that we have the right (at least thats the case in the Netherlands) to have the freedom of doing work on the side. Our employer cant deny us the freedom, unless there is a very VERY! good reason to do so.…
It's been one of those weeks. But I did manage to get a bit more progress made. I'm still procrastinating the torso, so I've been working on the legs. I'm sure having an actual arse and hips, when I finish them, will make the torso easier to judge. There's a lot of small inaccuracies I want to fix. I've been mainly using…
Good stuff dude! Here's my crits: -so many of the model renders are on stark white backgrounds, the least you could do is make the background more of a midtone with maybe a subtle gradient, it really tends to show off your work better than straight black or white. -You really should lock down your website template size, I…
Under the Utilities tab you can find a measurement tool but that's only for objects. There are measurement helper objects and the Measure Distance tool: https://knowledge.autodesk.com/support/3ds-max/learn-explore/caas/CloudHelp/cloudhelp/2016/ENU/3DSMax/files/GUID-25B16E09-84D0-4F8E-9F17-0CC52ABB450F-htm.html You can also…
Well, looks like there is a lap belt in the left side of the seat. I just don’t get how this modeling and UVing and baking at this amount of detail was completed in two weeks, seems fishy to me. Maybe possible though? Would love to be proven wrong though!
