Re: Creating a Realtime Res Tree - High Poly to Low Poly RETOPO Confusion
You do NOT need clean topology on static objects. The auto retopo'd lowpoly should be fine. Maybe fix up the major errors but it should be mostly ok. Just make sure it gives the silhouette you want. Clean topology is important on animated / deforming objects but its not important when the object is static. If you have… -
Re: 3ds Max 2016
Does anyone have problem with orbit in 3ds max 2016? With standard orbit mode it loses it's virtual center when working with sub-objects. With orbit sub-object mode it loses virtual center when deselect sub-object, or when orbiting around object. In 3ds max 2015 and earlier versions I used standard orbit mode anywhere and… -
Re: What are the drawbacks of grouped draw calls?
One good example for merging objects is a segmented wall in a modular environment. When separate, the swarm agent building the lighting will light them as if they are separate, unrelated objects. This can create seams in the finished bake. Merging them will allow the lightmass to treat it like one object. But this will… -
Re: Vertex Colour Bleeding, 3DS Max Biped?
It's how max refers to the component modes internally. Goes like this: Sub-object level 0 = Object level , 1 = vertex , 2 = edge , 3 = border , 4 = face , 5 = element. Many of the modifiers determine how they're supposed to work based on the sub-object level the user is in before selecting them, not just what components… -
Re: Maya merge 2 uv sets into one?
hi, i have a problem with combine to objects. one uv layout is not more there. but i have it now. -look in the "UV set Editor" normaly there is an "map1" set, and + other names of sets. but some of my objects have no map1-set, but other names. i coppy all objects to an new set, named like you want. delate alle other sets.… -
Re: AO + transparency + MR
If it is for baking with RTT , Max9 has got a nice exclude option in the Ambient Occlusion(MR) element...in prior max versions one way to exclude objects is to assign them a specific G-buffer ID, than in the AO shader there is an option to include/exclude objects by this ID(To exclude objects enter the ID nubmer with a… -
Re: First Post (character)
<pedantic> Object-Space Normals are fine for objects that are not going to rotate in the world. Eg a statue fixed in position in the world. Tangent-Space normals are needed if the character or object is going to be skinned / animated / dynamic. Or it is duplicated in different orientations around a world, ergo mostly… -
Re: Regrouping in Max 8?
if you have a box and a cylinder, they are regarded as separate objects in Max. the simplest way to do this is just to select one, and in the Editable Poly rollout, look for the "Attach" button, then select your other object with Attach activated (or use Attach List to get a name display floater you can pick objects from).… -
Re: Need advice on my portfolio.
Your portfolio looks good. Modeling is solid. The edges on your high-polys are too sharp though. Your textures leave room for improvement. Right now you are mostly using base materials with a generic cloud texture. The edge wear and dirt looks generic too. Think more about how objects are used and where edges are getting… -
Re: Keeping albedo, roughness synchronized in PS?
The first step is to work inside a master PSD containing all the maps as groups (which also allows you to use one of the few 1-click export scripts available). From there are a few ways to have data easily available everywhere in the file. - Saving masks to channels and/or layers : You can save them as selection inside a…
