Re: Zbrush layers coming "empty"
Well, I think I found a workaround. What I did was this: First, the only layer I had visible was the one with the "empty" tag. So, I created a morph target with only that layer visible, then deleted that layer, created a new one and enabled the morph target in that new layer, so I have all the detail from the broken layer… -
Re: zbrush 4R6 now with magic retopo
Checking features as I browse the update docs. Trim cuve w/ brush radius enabled (clip brush modifier tab) does a cool boolean based on the size of your brush. Like a slice curve but will also delete the sliced path. Or if you want the opposite result, keystroke with the alt. Works great with the open curves, but the… -
Re: HLSL handling cases where texture isn't loaded
Hi kodde, as far as I know, you cannot make the code check if a texture has been loaded. The workaround I adopted, and I guess is pretty standard, is to use a checkbutton widget in the UI. If it is checked the texture is taken into account, otherwise do the standard calculations without considering it. bool… -
Re: how to increase density on mesh only on...
translation. So far as preserving UV's goes any operation that changes geometry along a uv seam will usually make crap of your unwrapping. If your modeling within a UV island with no open uv edges then you should enable the 'preserve UVs' option found under 'edit geometry' in editable poly. this will give you limited… -
Re: Looking for some basic help with foliage/trees/shading for 3ds Max/Unity
I used to separate the front and back slightly, but realized the flicker was only because backface culling wasn't actually on! With culling enabled, the front and back faces never flicker. They're facing separate directions. Unless you have some other sort of overlap problem, like two branches being co-planar. We have some… -
Re: my artwork
If you want a quick nice render, you can just apply your simple grey material. Bump up the spec alot and bump up the gloss a little. Enable hardware shading with its shadows and AO active and your good to go. Screen cap or snipping tool. This works great for simple WIP's. I wouldn't use it for final renders though. Go with… -
Re: Aumbra's Workshop
Added in-game shots and also shots of the weapons with particles enabled. If anyone knows whether I'm doing something wrong when it removes the particles with both weapons in, as in I'm doing something wrong or it's a Valve-side bug, then please let me know. I think it's a bug because previously when you had one weapon in… -
Re: Baking dramas!?
cool shottie! If what Johny says doesn't work try toggling off renderable in object properties for the low poly. You can also go down the edit poly of the low, element mode, hide all then click back on projection and bake. I also think go into the projection modifier > Reference Geometry and under Display Toggle click… -
Re: M1A1 Carbine progress
Hey Kaine, thanks for the tip, though I'm not sure what you mean. I'm rendering in Marmoset, and I have AO enabled. I haven't baked AO for this model as it isn't really necessary. I painted some dirt in the grooves of the model in my albedo (so diffuse, since it's nonmetal).Anyways, I desaturated the dirt so now the dirt… -
Re: Problem with Maya Beziers: new beziers' tangents all break by default
I was seeing this problem as well. Didn't want to delete my prefs so spent like 1.5 hours combing through my prefs file, deleting stuff and testing. Ended up discovering that deleting the lines related to symmetric modelling fixed the problem. I think basically you just can't have symmetry enabled when editing a bezier…
