Re: How to reduce normal map baking artifacts caused by low/high poly mismatch?
Happy to hear I was wrong in assuming your model was nonspecific. Sorry I've been having trouble understanding, and communicating clearly, I've been operating on less than the minimum required amount of sleep. I can see no technical flaws in neither your Lowpoly or Highpoly, everything seems to be baked and rendered… -
Re: 3ds max cut tool - is it safe?
i use the cut tool a lot when i model. only real problem i had was on my WoW contest model when i clicked to open photoshop, went back to Max and was trying to do a cut when photoshop finally opened and took focus away from Max. when i clicked back on Max the cut tool stayed on and i couldn't do anything with it. a couple… -
Re: Unreal 3 vs. COD4 as an engine / editing tool for an apsiring Environment to learn.
COD4 Radiant editor tools leave A LOT to be desired. You'd be better off using Source/Hammer (Orange Box SDK), Sandbox 2/Crysis, or UnrealEd (for Unreal Engine 3). I'm especially looking forward to Rage, one of Id Software's next big games, as the tools look quite cool. :) -
Re: Maya 2010 and MJ Poly Tools
I'm using 2010 now. As far as what it did,I could select and edge and then hit split edge in MJ Tools and it would put an edge loop exactly in the center of the edge I had selected. Lets say I selected one of the edges that formed the waist loop of a character, if I went to MJ Tools and split, it would split in the center… -
Google Tools
I may be out of the loop on this, but I just stumbled accross one of Google's tools called Google Sketchup. Appaerntly it's their shot at trying to create a user firendly, streamlined 3D application. Mostly I see this more in compotition woth AutoCAD than Max, Maya and the such but knowing that google is an evergrowing… -

maya 2008 cut tool is infuriating
hey guys, So my recent project I am on is using maya 2008 and I am finding whatever they did to the cut tool (split polygon) has turned it into a frustrating sack of shit. if you turn off edge snapping so you can say cut geometry based on a texture over 50% of the time when you go to end the cut, it just disappears.… -
Re: CAHDD™ (Computer Aided Human Designed & Developed) — voluntary workflow transparency + watermark too
Yo. I didn't read every single post in the thread, because I am tired, but your persistent and relatively cool-headed responses @TheAllusionist piqued my interest enough that I gave things a good once-over and figured I would offer some additional perspective/feedback. The... system(?) I suppose I'll call it, seems a bit… -
Re: How are you actually handling AI-generated mesh cleanup before engine handoff?
I'm all for new tooling and tech, constantly have to evaluate new things and solve problems for my day job. So I'm not a Luddite. I think AI does have a place in tooling, but in my experience it is currently limited to assisting with filtering large datasets, and it requires a human with subject-matter expertise to verify…
