I need a viewport shader for Max that looks as good as the old Xoliul shader that unfortunately doesn't work in Max anymore. Nitrous is a pile of garbage by default and either I don't know to configure it or its just badly designed but it looks like trash on my model: As you can see, Nitrous is making all kinds of…
OK, I thought i was actually improving without using plugins... Actually, my mapping has gotten alot better in ALL ways. But seems I've more to learn from the polycount crew, which doesn't suprise me at all. Seems lately I've been learning all types of useful Max techniques. I'm normally pretty loose but do get uptight…
Yeah I know people who use Max (myself included) and can regularly get up into the 10 million + poly range. Large amounts of RAM and 64-bit system running 64-bit Max definitely helps. I can believe that with 8gb RAM and a workstation graphics card you could have scenes in the tens of millions of polygons. The amount of RAM…
wait i do have a zbrush workflow to create NM's from. i got it from a friend which i credit and his name is TIM GRAYBILL hope it helps ya : z brush normal map baking steps 1, Ok so your finished sculpting your detail in z-brush, now you want to make you low poly model in max and you want to make it reflect the silhouette…

Hey so I'm wondering either the differences or the issues with either workflow of getting animations into Unity from 3DS Max. I've done it two ways and both result in playable animations with the exact same prefab setup as each other. First way is to take 3 boxes and 3 bones and simply parent the boxes to the bones with an…
Not familiar with this universe although quick search pulled up a heap of info via the wiki: https://en.touhouwiki.net/wiki/Characters And perhaps if you hadn't already, maybe checkout related fan hubs like discourse or other akin online hangouts that may offer advice if not support / direction? getting your project off…
OK, here are my results. These are all 128x128 bakes for MAXIMUM SPEED so ignore the ugliness please. First up I have a normal map baked in 3ds Max with Render to Texture, applied to a mesh that had tangents included, imported with Import Normals: Obviously not synced. Here's the next one. This is the same mesh exported…
I am using 3ds max, I just need to know the basics. Like how to properly UV a square so that it opens as a net, or mapping faces so they are in the right proportions. For example, sometimes I will map a face and it will be too thin compared to the real face. I know the theory behind it (I think) I just need some good…
been asking around everywhere...searched all of google...I can't find anything or anyone that knows how to do this...so I turn to you guys... I'm trying to create a ruined building for my ut2k4 map...keep in mind these buildings are being viewed from far away in the distance and no player will come close to them...usually…
