Re: Maya 2009Unlimited "Smoothing too smooth"
Isn't he referring to Mesh > Smooth (the subdivide-average-vertices-kind-of-tool)? In this case it's the Continuity value you wanna play around with to tweak how much you want it to "smooth" the 90 degree angle you are speaking of. You can alter this after applying the smooth given that you have construction history… -
Re: Victorian mansion - UDK environment
I wouldn't worry about sharpening the mipmaps in UDK. It's there to sort of correct the DTX compression alghorthim. It's not perfect, and I think what is also happening is that your having a LOD issue. Just to test this, if you go into the UTEngine.ini file and look for the AA and AF settings, edit those to 16x AF and 4x… -

Re: Rendering in Pieces
You might want to render in passes instead of rendering different chunks.

Also check and make… -

It might just be the oem version of Windows Vista that Acer put on the laptop. I have a friend with a similar problem with his laptop and Vista home edition, but I… -
Re: Biped Woes
I agree with FatAssasin. Birds are not mammals, but their legs have close to the same anatomy. If you need a quick fix you can add a sub anim contoller to the biped, say a EulerXYZ. Then enable sub anims and this will allow you to rotate the knee 360 degree in any direction. OR Bake the skin weighting to a mesh using the… -
Re: 3dsmax render a heightmap
1 - delete your water and bridges. 2 - place a plane mesh underneath the island meshes 3 - open render to texture (press 0) 4 - enable projection mapping, and pick the islands as your source objects. 5 - grab the cage and pull it up above the islands. Just make sure the cage doesnt intersect the islands. And you may want… -
Render out Spatial Experiences with ease
Hey fellow CG folk, I don't know if I can call myself that yet tbh. But here I am. So this is going to seem like a shameless plug but honestly, I need your help!
