Re: big .obj files into 3dsmax
the zmapper thing would be ace if I was able to use it on a mesh with more than 500 000 polys, however, bringing your high resolution (4 millions polys) in zbrush and launching Zmapper is giving me an error. When I try to load this same 4 millions poly mesh directly into max, on a layer, displayed as a box, whatever trick… -
Re: Workshop #4 - racer445
Hey syncviews, good to see you helping out everyone on the workshop. I'll see if I can chime in on some of these threads providing you dont beat me to it, lol. Good catch noticing where the body gets thicker, I would never have noticed that minor detail. I'm starting to get used to modeling more things into the main mesh,… -
Re: Uv questions
so its goodbye? - not a nice attitude the way I do such things is merging all objects to 1 unique Object together and unwrap that one (or if you have max2008/2009 you can edit multiple objects at once- but usually i use external tools such as UvLayout that eat only 1 *.OBJ file). Once you unwrapped and layouted split it… -
Re: "Speed asset," unknown human skull, 3h
Hm. I'm not sure how I'd feel about taking an asset from start to finish as fast as possible. It kind of gives you the result you have now- you're not happy, most other people won't be happy. I guess it's practice, but I like how game-artist.net did it, in stages. You could do speed modeling… -
Re: Getting good height from Nvidia-filter normalizing grayscale height
the real question is why you are using the nvidia filter. If you cant afford a copy of crazybump, there is shadermap and also xnormal has a height to normals tool and photoshop integration to boot. if you want to layer detail I suggest you do it manually instead of using a tool where you have limited adjustability.… -
Re: 3ds max unwraping resources?
Try crazybutchers unwrapper, since it's the closest thing you'll get to Modo's unwrap tools. Found here. http://www.luxinia.de/index.php/ArtTools/3dsmax I like to use flatten then I stitch things together with with stitch in edge subobject mode. I would use unfold more if it wasn't buggy. Pelt in Max should just work like… -
Re: Blender- Cannot get rigify rig to bind to mesh
Wow dude.. keep cool :) I checked your first file you posted and as I thought there is some fundamental misunderstanding going on. - First (as you should know now) you have to use the Armature modifier on the model - Then your vertex groups are not named correctly. For example they need to be named 'DEF-upper_arm.L.001'… -
Re: ANIMATION, GAMING studio artists WATCH OUT.-Stephen Silver
This is a great thread! The crazy part about all of this is, as someone who graduated in 2009 from Full Sail, I was used to working 14-16 hour days during school and being told "This is the industry, if you can't cut it in school working this much then you wont make it in the industry. Because that is the norm." That was… -
Re: Mental Ray Rendering in Maya black?
Smooth mesh has been renderable since version 2009 with mental ray I believe. As for a black render, first thing, check your alpha channel to make sure it's actually finding the objects. Next thing would be to check the normals; if you have any negative scale values remember that will invert normals. Then switch out the… -
Re: Autodesk to go subscription-based only
why? :D , i said it several times in this forum. I don't need the animation tools, nor the rigging, nor the particles, nor the other useless features they added in the newer versions i don't use, etc. Modo 801 for example, has for me ZERO improvements in modelling, and it's worse in viewport perfomance, much much worse…
