Re: Problems w/ Modular Floors & Lightmass
Is there anything you need to do to remove the specular, beyond not having anything connected to the specular power or specular slots? Because believe me, there is nothing coneected there. Likewise, is vertex lighting defualt? How do you enable or disable it? As far as I can tell, I haven't changed anything, so if vertex… -
Re: Splash Damage art test, too
no particular areas but your last render looks a bit confusing over all as if the lighting was upside down or some inverted channel in the normal map or u have that put teh bump channel to 100 in max. so it almost looks like you have a blend of default vertex normal (the way it looks like without normal map) and highpoly… -
Re: How to texture a level for an XNA game
Yes, if whoever is coding your app knows how to get it done. You can do whatever you like. If you want vertex painting, get the programmer to write the proper rendering technique. XNA is not an engine. It's a framework/wrapper around Direct3D9 for C#. The phrase, "how do I texture for an XNA level" doesn't compute. You'll… -
Re: Fantasy/Nature Diorama - Hand painting practice
Thanks DWalker! I used this reference when I painted the roof: http://cgtextures.com/texview.php?id=9141&PHPSESSID=eu11nek0lhvamt55ivia5q0gh1 I actually like this the most from my textures. The scene is far not finished, so a lot of from what you wrote will be changed. Like, the ground textures. The road is currently have… -
Re: NEED SOME HELP WITH COPYING UVs
UPDATE: ok so i'm not sure if there is a better way but from what i understand if you are not careful with how you set up polygroups before you uv it will look like they are the same but in fact the two objs have different vertex ordering. The only way i found to remedy this is by using a maya script which allows you to… -
Re: Modelling a path on top of ground (for games). Also UV tiling question.
I cant really tell if this game is actually 3d or not, but this kind of paths are usually done with using geometries on top of the terrain (a little above from the terrain to prevent the z-fighting), and with tileable textures, or tileable+some reuseable textures (like for the bended parts of the path if the geometry gives… -
Re: StarCitizen shader metal melting Decal technique how to achieved it?
Have 2 models, a internal damage model and a hull model. Make your laser apply vertex colors. Make a shader that goes transparent when a certain vertex color. Then add the bling effects, blend the borders with grunge, add the heat effect. They only allow certain areas to be destroyed, so blend with a 'allow damage map' if… -
Re: [CE3] Bioshock Environment Homage
So...I am finally calling this thing done! I actually finished the scene over xmas, however I spent the months that followed putting together a comprehensive breakdown for the upcoming Vertex mag. Weighing in at around 30 pages long, hopefully it will go some way to say "thank you" for all your support and input during the… -
Re: 3DSMax - Imported OBJ has creases/seams
Thanks for both of your replies. I checked (as far as I can tell) for non-manifold geo, duplicated verts, etc, and the mesh seems clean (kind of wish Max had a cleanup tool similar to Maya to check). I also tried a Turn to Poly, Edit Poly, and Edit Normals (to try to reset them) to no avail. Here's the obj:… -
Re: Converting to editable poly turns out strange after importing from roadkill (in max)
Awesome, thanks. I've been looking for a solution for months, can't believe I never tried adding an edit poly modifier rather than convert the whole object. When I got lucky, only small parts of the model would get messed up. What I did then was to break off each messed up face in the "edit uvw's" editor and rotate them…
