Re: UDK COMING TO iOS this Thursday!!!
Or just a friend who wouldn't have aclue what to do with that kind of stuff (everyone I know with a mac :poly124:) Well as long as it's your own legitimate copy of the OS I don't see the problem with installing it on your own hardware. Also yeah, don't forget those autodesk educational licence isn't for publishing!… -
Re: Station / Laboratory 3D Environment
Hey! Thanks for the comments. For the floor, this is the tutorial I followed: http://cg.tutsplus.com/tutorials/autodesk-3ds-max/how-to-bake-a-flawless-normal-map-in-3ds-max/ The actual tutorial shows you how he bakes the normal maps for a completely different objects, but the basics are there and you can apply it to… -
Re: Mel Scripting Help
I found the problem, it seems the programmers at Autodesk has been inconsistent regarding syntax for intSlider. Original:intSliderGrp -e -v Pine $maxPine; New:intSliderGrp -e -v $maxPine Pine; It is standard to set the value last, like with setAttr, but not with intSlider. The code below is a working example. //… -
Re: FBX triangulation direction out of maya?
Maya get's the shortest edge possible automatically on these cases, which is cheaper to have smaller triangles, obviously. I just can't understand how Marmoset/Max can't think of getting the shortest too!? I know, I know, the fbx exporter should have given you the same triangulation, but unfortunately autodesk didn't fix… -
Re: rendering wires in 3ds max
I don't do screens of wireframe because I don't like all the backfacing cluttering everything up. I'm actually kind of amazed that I haven't heard of a better way to do this than the "Dupe, wire, push" method Vig laid out. In our engine, we just have a button we can push that cycles between full render, full render with… -
Re: Texturing with Mudbox (Success, Workflow, Tutorials?)
I use Mudbox a lot for texturing and I would probably abandon Photoshop nearly completely had Autodesk included more blending modes and mask support. Usually, I use it to roughly distribute stencils on top of the mesh so that details match the geometry. Then I bring it into PS to set up blending modes and mask out the… -
Re: game character workflow
hi when I put rigging in there I meant it in the most basic sense. It was a very basic rig just to get the character out of the modeling pose. Its by no means a rig to use for animation. The maps were still baked using the tposed mesh, not the posed one. The textures were still painted using the Tposed mesh too. I usually… -
Re: Maya Blendshape questions from a noob
Dont really understand what you mean, but if after all what you need is to fix the shape after animation is final, you can create cache for every frame of the model, and do fixing eg like armpit by moving verts via soft mod in a frame that's problematic, then those changes can be weighted over few frames before and after.… -
Re: 3ds Max 8 Books
I learn from books and videos, but mostly books, and tend to but tutorial books. So far there aren't a lot of Max8 books out yet, and I needed one as the new company I am working for is making me go back to Max after a couple of years with Maya. Of the ones I ran across at Border's Books, the only one that seems good (… -
Re: Good ZModeler Tutorials?
something I've been interested in as well, and in the same boat. I usually try to do something simple with zmodeler, but the fact that I don't have anything akin to maya's multi-cut tool throws me in a bind everytime, so I give up and go back to maya. From what I've read here and elsewhere, Zmodeler is like, an unfinished…
