Re: Alternative solutions, possibly next gen solutions...
This is good stuff! I love seeing these kinds of threads, and the inquisitive minds behind them. It seems you are interested in technical art. This is exactly how many tech artists get started, by researching topics, trying to figure out how they work, and trying to improve on them with their own work. I'm thinking of… -
Re: 3DS Max Make Planar to existing Geo
Well, the square plane example above was oversimplified to illustrate the overall concept. In reality, I can't just flatten it by scaling. What I actually have, is a compound curved surface made up of a few segments, which I want to be control panels. So I need to stick dodads on them, and not have the ones in the middle… -
Re: [Major Production] - Waking Up in Tokyo
Just wanted to post an update, since this thread has been getting some traffic recently. This project is still underway, and we are looking for assistance from advanced artists who are able to contribute to a cinematic trailer. We plan to launch a Kickstarter campaign for initial funding. Please respond or DM if interested. -
Re: [Chivalry] - Mason Man-At-Arms - Spudnik& Pior Set
Spudnik, i totally agree with you. I have throughout all the contest discussions and getting critics about fantasy and other stuff. I personaly favor the thin line between fantasy and realism since, as you said, real armors are most of the time sort of boring, and the contest is after all to make them get sold. And since… -
Re: [WIP] Tiger I
Thankfully the Zimmerit is pretty non destructive, and if I shuffle the UVs a bit I should be able to break up that apparent tiling. I'm slowly getting through taking the individual models from "mostly done" to "textureable-y done" and getting the substance painter documents and bakes setup. Here's a few marmoset renders… -
Re: +1 to transferring elements across scenes + small bug report + expanding heat map settings
Hey EQ! Long time... =) how u been? Sorry for the late reply, yours got lost in a sea of notifications. 1. Awesome! good to hear =) 2. Aha, that explains it. Textures can get flagged according to their initial load and then get assigned an sRGB value. For sure I mis-loaded, I had to redo it so many times XD 3. OK, I need… -
Re: Marvel Rivals Character shader - Nuke + Arnold (maya)
The main issue is that I can’t find a suitable shader. Initially, I used a toon shader and took the outline from it as well. However, I’m not very satisfied with the result: the image looks quite flat, and the specular doesn’t behave the way I’d like. The gradients also make the render feel overly stylized. After that, I… -
Re: Baking Problem in SP (Modelled in Max)
Take this with a grain of salt as I'm not a technical artist, but at least in 3ds max, you indeed have face normals and vertex normals. Maybe you can think of the face normals as the actual geometry (or purely in which direction a triangle (maybe polygon) is facing. That's dependent o the vertices, but not the vertex… -

Re: One rig/anim set for multiple characters (MAX 2010)
Yea I would totally use biped, its friendly and battle tested with just about every engine ever created and it does all the things you need quickly and easily. If you're more comfortable using a standard bone based rig you made yourself, there are ways to do what you're trying to do, but they're a bit buggy and sometimes…
