Re: Walther P38
@alberto: awesome. glad to hear that its going in the right direction now. :D @lordsarum: yeah definitely. ive got a bunch of references with carvings of serial numbers, nazi eagles, etc, and ill more than likely be putting that in during the texturing phase. just something to add in quickly to the normal map. i did also… -
Re: long faces in low poly causing baking issues
Have you tried the 3Point viewport shader? What about using the realistic mode in max2012? What about viewing it in an engine like UDK or Marmoset? In whatever version of max if you render the scene (9) and the distortion isn't there you can ignore it. More than likely the problem your having is just with the realtime… -
Re: Little man and his lynx
I wouldn't decimate, you'll have to unwrap a 100k poly object with random triangles, so you're gonna get weird seams and stuff, making it harder to texture. If you're rendering in cycles, there's not much point in using a normal map. Normal maps are used to fake lighting in realtime, cycles is an offline renderer that uses… -
Re: Is anyone here running an ATI/AMD gamer card?
I'm working with and ATI Hd4200 atm, not alot of problems besides slower speeds, issues with realtime renderers like cgfx, xoliul's shader, maya high quality mode, etc. but maya, max, zbrush, and 3d coat all work like they should, for most things. I cant run topogun or mudbox, as they continually crash due to video card… -
Re: Rendering Normal/AO Maps with hair/eyes.
I never go with just a straight bake for eyeball AO. It's always easier to paint it. For one of our characters we did put a semi-transparent hemisphere in front of the eyeball that faked AO around the edges. The eye could slide around under it and the shadow was constant. It was a pre-rendered character we got really close… -
Re: TurtleTank
Sorry for bumping this up but my thread only had like 17 views :'-(. It was my first post here so it had to be validated first but it feels like it never even showed up on the first page. Would it be possible that the thread was already too old to show up on page 1 once it was validated? Anyhow, I also wanted to mention… -
Re: low frame rate in max
- upgrade to XP :) just joking ^^ A year ago I had a animation project with CAT and things went horrible slow,- in the end I ended up writing a script that would let me quickly define a time range and then with a single button make a animation preview and instantly view it. Usually that would take just a few seconds to… -
Re: DTC Map
Harry: Please give constructive criticism. toren3d: Thanks, here is the link to the one i'm using. http://cg.tutsplus.com/tutorials/3d-art/create-beautiful-realtime-renders-using-the-xoliul-viewport-shader-in-3ds-max/ so back with more !!! i still have to go back and make refinements and add spec maps to everything.… -
Re: ID Software bought by ZeniMax
no dismissal coming from my end, i think he's done amazing things. and continues to do so. but there are others doing similar things out there, he's no longer the one man army he used to be. i thought we already had unlimited geometry, and that what slowed things down now was shader expenses? having lots of textures is… -
Re: critique my wip level
well below are some more clean renders. i am going to use shadow mapping for the lighting. i don't believe my engine supports light maps though, it supports shadow maps, realtime soft-shadows, and stencil shadows. i also don't believe the engine will import shaded vertex data, but is capable of it, i've requested it to be…
