Re: Slide Edge Equivilent/script in Max?
Well the primary reason is that I only want to slide part of the edge loop. For example, in this instance, I want to select the red part of the edge loop and slide it closer to the next loop so that there is a consistent gap between them for when it gets turbosmoothed. Edge constrain doesn't work in this situation because… -
Re: Bioshock Demo for download
Downloaded the PC demo today. Gotta say I was a tad dissapointed . They also managed to pack both ending subtitles in simple flash format in the game content folders. Thank god I only read the first sentance. No AA/AF options, forcing does'nt seem to help. The textures are very muddy and low res, see the big daddy drill… -
Re: Mel Help
for example: a poly -sm 12 filterExpand will only return objects if an object is selected. If using your pSphere1.vtx[300] selection as an example... nothing will be returned if that object is not in object mode. filterExpand will return an array.. depending on your selection you may need to use the -expand "true" flag to… -
Re: Workshop #03 - Dn2
looking good, couple of small crits though: you've got the right idea by bashing up the model and making it look used but imo it looks a little artificial. the ends, which i would have assumed would have taken the most damage are only ever so slightly rounded and the large dents in the sides look to have been made almost… -
Re: Incredible performance hit in 3dsmax 2009 when object selected.
not sure here, for example in modo objects are cached if you freeze them (or lock them) and you can push more faces through the view port with a a smooth navigation. As soon as you unfreeze them it can slow down stuff. The same kind of is implemented in max. For example if you freeze or Xref stuff its sometimes optimized… -
Re: Why is triangle used instead of Quad?
To add to what's already been said and hopefully clarify a few things: there's a number of different reasons why an artist would choose to use a triangle instead of a quad when creating an arch. The relevance of any specific answer really depends on the model's intended use and the desired outcome for the project. Looking… -
Generating low poly from a texture's height map
Hi! I've started making my own materials in Substance Designer. I'm really loving the results so far, but I have a little problem. Let's say I have a brick wall texture for example. It's pretty easy to use it if my walls are just a flat plane - but it looks much better if the walls have extra geometry for protruding… -
How 3D model fidelity is usually measured?
Hi. I'm learning 3D art and I wonder how 3D artists and their clients usually negotiate the fidelity of the assets. Let's say I'm searching for a 3D artist who will create some game assets for me. For example, I need a game-ready asset of a gun. I expect it to have some minimum level of fidelity. How would I describe this… -
Re: How can I get a good detail for my character texture?
Of course, for example "https://www.artstation.com/artwork/B34gJ9". As you can see, the level of detail is pretty damn good, while mine using also 4k textures is not that detailed. Right now the uvs are like this, with a uniform texel density of 20 px/cm and more padding in between uvs shells to avoid bleeding. -
Re: Is there any demand for a game asset focused modeling tool?
It seems like the general consensus is to either just stick with the current programs or spend time re-purposing them to fit our needs. This is a little disheartening. @PolyHertz I completely agree with you there. I have yet to see an app that can fully let you drag and drop and build out your own custom UI like modular…
