Re: Maya 2020 ncloth performance Issue?
Even in 2019, ncloth is still slower. It worked well in the 2018 version, so I'm not sure what the problem is. When 2019 first came out, ncloth was faster. 2019 and 2020 both take the same amount of time for ncloth, but 2018 just used to be faster. My system hasn't changed, instead, I did upgrade when my old laptop broke… -
Re: A few questions about normal maps
Thanks for the reply! That makes sense. I'm wondering if it makes sense in a node based rendering system to try to combine the tangent rgb normal map with a grayscale heightmap as bump. Do either of them complement each other? Or are you better off with just going with one or the other? Or maybe another way to say that is… -
Re: Maya Unfold/Optimize not working
But the fix is in 2019.3 https://help.autodesk.com/view/MAYAUL/2019/ENU/?guid=Maya_ReleaseNotes_2019_3_release_notes_html Many users on systems with newer, high-end CPUs like Ryzen 3900x series have reported issues and 'Unfold3D Process Error' messages when unwrapping or optimizing UVs. If you run Maya using one of these… -
Re: Blender 2.8 UV map resolution.
Thanks musashidan for the speedy reply! I tried your suggestion but importing the model into Unreal's Twinmotion made no difference. I suspect the problem lies elsewhere. I tried importing the Blender FBX without uvs and it seems the texture system (which must be parametric or something) loved it. Seems the only thing it… -
Re: Need Career Advice - Getting Into the Industry
So what if it's an Indie studio?! Experience IS experience as far as I'm concerned. Some years ago was in a similar position and wrestling with my conscious as to whether continue pursuing an entry level role was in my best interests going forward. Apparently not in my case, now work partime outside the studio system but… -
Re: Megascan Hardware
Yes, Quixel's setup is designed to capture extremely accurate materials, meant for modern PBR systems. Anything your average artist would put together would be significantly less accurate, ie, baked in lighting that would be troublesome to remove, difficulty calibrating the actual values, and of course capturing spec/gloss… -
Re: Video uploads on Polycount?
We're working on an automated solution for the big slow images issue. Should have more info on that shortly. Marmoset embed is a huge issue for us. Vanilla has many client sites, and their dev decisions apparently are weighted more towards their strategic goals than towards individual clients. Moving to another forum… -
Re: FINAL Handplanes - Omari McCord - Multi
Wow, that was quick. As far as the CPU cooler settings changing, I haven't seen that before and will check into it. What happens when you set the max CPU threads in the settings tab to something other than max (setting of 0 is all threads)? I installed smartfan on my system, configured the cpu fan to 100%, and ran a bake.… -
Re: How to change up axis to y in 3ds max ?
Short answer: you can't. The world coordinate system is set as it is with Z up. Possible solutions: * rotate your model before exporting. * Check to see if the UV program is using world space or object space. IE rotate the model some arbitrary direction and export and see if it comes in just as wonky, if not, its in object…
