Re: Maya Pelting tools plugin - Help needed
The cleanup function doesnt take care of double edges, for me at least. If you find thats true for yourself heres a script I threw together few days ago. It saves your selection so it can be used at any time during the modeling process, though is a little finicky with edge selections sense it changes their order when… -
Re: [3DS Max] Issues with exporting
Sorry have long missing. This helped me a lot and solved my problem, thanks! Exporting as FBX don't deforming object and much faster (especially for hi-poly). Object is very small, like bolt on automobile disks est. size 0.5x0.5x0.5 cm while biggest object on scene about 50x150x100 cm. That's really inetesting things you… -
Re: Texturing, where do you start?
With a color. ;) You might have triggered someone to make that for you, or they might see this as being a small issue. You know the names well enough, you just now associate them with there material slots. Once you got that you can then start to get an understanding of each one and why they are needed and what their limits… -
Re: 3Ds Max 2012 sneak peek
So... I ran some more tests with modifiers and all that yummy stuff. This is a little written tutorial of what I did and what happened. I can assure you that it was faster in 2009 :) (at least 3x faster), but I bet 2012 is much better than 2010 and 2011. By the way this is a very cool technique, might come in handy :) .*… -
Re: How many material IDs can you have?
omg i accidentally just pressed 'report' instead of reply... sorry if you get some weird message from a mod. here's what i intended to reply to your post with: Right. At work I would never have that many materials on a single object, but in this case it was just for a single high rez portfolio shot and i wanted to get it… -
Re: Mesh resolution
The relative density thing is a really good point. To give you some sort of metric.. The ideal from a rendering performance perspective is that no triangle is smaller than a 2x2 pixel area on screen so given an expected view distance/resolution you have a measure for how dense your densest geometry should be. Rather than… -
Tesla Coil Gun
model This project was an assignment for school, to create a portable object using a maximum of 3k tris and 1k textures. I chose to make a modified version of an object featured on SmarterEveryDay; a tesla coil gun. Since this was my first time doing a similar object, I knew it would be difficult for me to make such a… -
Re: Monthly Community Noob Challenge November 2013 (13)
@RobertHedlund I'm just going to use as many as tileable textures as possible on simplest possible objects. After that I'm going to model over textures I already have on objects to add details. I guess other people will. just sculpt everything and use unique bakes, but for me it's no optimal solution for few reasons: 1. To… -
Re: multiple meshes > 1 map baking in max?
*merge the lowpoly objects *put an editpoly on top of the merged stack *Grab what used to be the individual objects and move them apart using the editable poly modifier. (you can turn this on and off to toggle the exploded mesh) *Key the position of you highpoly objects at frame 0 *move to frame 1 and move move your hp… -
Re: [Redshift] Linear 3D gradient ramp
Thanks for the suggestion. It's a good start, at least I'm getting that "swimming" that I was looking for with world space. However, from what I can tell, it's still stuck with the object's UV map, so the ramp is swimming through the object, rather than the object swimming through the ramp. I need the ramp to exist in 3D…
