Re: What are these dots in my bake?
Do you know what this issue is Eric? Seems like a graphics card issue all of a sudden, but it's only on this model as far as I'm aware. I've tried all the basic tests; resetting xforms, checking for unwelded verts, exported to a new scene. I've never seen this before or seen anyone else post this issue. Very perplexing as… -
Re: uv mirror problems
Thanks for you reply Eric, haven't tried that absolute/relative toggle yet but I'm sure it works. Actually I'm now getting that seam in 3pointshader when I baked uv's overlapping.. Will try now your suggestions. Thanks one more time, after many years in cg and now trying to learn this time consuming game engine stuff with… -
Re: Occlusion in diffuse
Ah, thanks for the clarification @Eric Chadwick. I only have a rudimentary understanding of game lighting, I suppose. Now I know a little more. I've used this screen name since I was a teenager playing xbox live. Sometimes I wonder if I should update to something more professional, but, as mentioned, there is guys calling… -
Re: ignore
@Eric Chadwick I don't think he's QUITE doing that, but I can see a tone of that. @Plan122 The core of your encouragement for others to not attempt to match the art direction of certain triple-A companies is understandable. You're making the same argument Blizzard at its core does: Gamplay first. You're making the core… -
Re: PBR - Bulldozer
Thanks a lot for your feedback, yes! I can add more salt on this work:), For that cut off shot actually i want to layout my camera that way! there is no reason for this crop. blurriness i guess because of my low render settings in i-ray i agree with you this kind of effects alter final result... finally the bumpiness on… -
Re: [MaxScript] Average / Copy Seams' Vertex Normal
THanks Eric :) Seems like the Average border has a little issue. Looking into it. THe copy feature works fine though :) EDIT: FIXED The issue was that after I "deinstanciate" the editNormals modifier on both object to make them unique, I delete the editNormals on the source object, which is wrong when you're averaging… -
Re: using splines to create roots in an environment?
@Obscura they don't snap and the branches are just scaled down versions of the roots. its not optimal, but it will do for now. I might swap the small branches for static meshes later if i have time :) @Eric Chadwick wow cool, is there any way for me to see the modules and how they work? i've been thinking about trying this… -
Re: Smoothing out topology in specific areas?
just thought Id toss in my 2 cents... along the lines of what Eric said, make sure you compare your stuff to actual in-game assets, perception is a tricky thing and in the chaos of a game level, you may not notice a lot of things that seem to stand out when viewed in isolation. also, depending on the engine and budget your… -
Re: Tips for baking Hair and Fur using Projection in Max
Nice! Thanks Eric. I remember that panda now. I forgot that he used that technique. Unfortunately not much info on how he tweaked the hair and fur to get that awesome texture. That is if he didn't just take it to the next level painting over the RTT output. At the very least that's some great inspiration. I guess I'll have… -
Re: Painting in Mudbox Question
Hi Eric, I'm using Maya for making models, and then sculpting them in Mudbox. After that i've only tried baking the high poly detail onto a lower poly model within mudbox, then bringing into maya again. The results were horrible so i scrapped it and now i'm trying another model. What you're saying somewhat makes sense. I…
