Re: Vertex color BlendMasked cgfx maya shader
Hey guys, i'am using the shader and having a hard time figuring out and issue with normal map. Btw, using maya 2015 here. If i load my normal maps and check the box "enable normal maps" my maps are loaded... but looks like whenever i move the view, my normals get messed up. When i first plug the maps, or reload the shader,… -
Re: Flatiron
A few years back we used Flatiron for Gotham City Imposters. Using Flatiron for us was mission critical as our internal engine had no lightmap support of any kind, and overall Flatiron did a fantastic job enabling us to unwrap entire levels and bake directional lightmaps and shadowmaps with Mental Ray. Also have to mention… -
Re: Hand-painted texture WIP thred
Pangahas Thanks for the feedback. I thought about the rings beeing visible on the inside, but didn't pay that much attention as I have seen other do the same. But your right, you don't see rings on the inside in real life. Tested a black hole but, as you suggested, it didn't look too good. I accully removed the lid after I… -
Re: What's everyone looking for to the most at E3?
just read that news article about spore- it does sound bloody impressive- be awesome to see what kind of impact it could have on the industry. I'm looking forward to seeing whether the hype behind the next generation consoles are valid or not- from what I've seen of the Xbox 360, it's more of a case of chucking a few more… -
Re: WAYWO usage
Even if you get your JPG below a certain file size, the server re-compresses it anyhow when you attach it. They recompress because they need to strip out any trojan metadata for security reasons. So unfortunately that means size restrictions. I think what we really need is a script to auto-resize down to whatever our limit… -
Re: Box or cylinder modeling vs strip modeling?
Yeah, I think for faces, strip modelling (or at least, not starting from a box) makes it much easier. I find a good method for faces, is to model nice quad-strips of geometry around the mouth, nose and eye shapes, then connect these all up ... makes it easier to keep good edge loops for deformation. For bodies and general… -
Re: Non Competes and Game Artists.
what if the company you're working for has developed a particular method for, say, building high and low res characters for normal mapping that works better than the generally accepted methods. Say this method is a guarded secret and enables the company to cut down normal map production time by 25%. You work there, they… -
Re: MAX going confetti on me
so I tested it on another computer with 3dsmax 9 EN without any updates or patches - and I can not reproduce the effect. Mind anyone of you giving me a *.max scene with the broken object? can you post me a model like that- or 3dsdmax scene ? I have a vague memory about the mesh object type in 3dsmax that usually requires a… -
Re: Forum Skin Thievery
Hello :) 1 - I turned the old (re: OLD) theme off when I was trying to fix a bug last night. It wasn't meant to stay disabled. 2 - Eventually that theme, and its wide counter-part, will not be an option to use. This isn't happening any time soon, and it will be with proper reason. For now, though, its enabled. 3 - This is… -
Re: Patriot Act Now Permanent
aesir, the part I don't like about it the most is that someone can be detained indefinitely without trial for being merely suspected of terrorism. This is a direct conflict with the 14th amendment. In Nazi Germany, there were similar policies that enabled someone to finger their neighbor as being a Jew sympathizer or being…
