Re: Basic Help diagnosing the UV Editor Box (Maya)
As throttlekitty says it's just extra space and for game models you will only really care about the upper right part. In VFX they use UDIMS which go off the 0-1 space but we don't typically use those. As for your questions on materials, no they're handle on a polygon object basis not specifically a UV basis. Picture a… -
Re: Bump Vs Normal Maps
So theres really three things: 1. Greyscale bump map 2. Normal map generated from bump map 3. Normal map baked from high poly mesh. 1 and 2 are essentially the same thing at the end of the day. 3d engines/renderers can not render a "bump map" without first converting it into a normal map (if your renderer takes a grayscale… -
Re: What are the things to consider when making game for Mobile Platform ?
Well, lot of it is engine and hardware specific, but in general you can think of optimizing your static graphics content in 3 steps First is drawcalls, which is how many packages of data you are sending to GPU. Each new object and/or new material is a new drawcall. There is certain overhead associated to preparing and… -
Re: xnormal workflow/settings (warning: long post)
A question... are you using the max2obj exporter to export an .OBJ mesh? Avoid that exporter at any cost! Is SUPER-bugged! Use the gw:OBJ exporter or, better, the xNormal's SBM exporter if possible! Are you making Reset X Form before exporting in Max? Do that ALWAYS before exporting! That's crucial! About the ray… -
Re: 3d studio max 8 questions.
In response to 11: Changing the hotkey for Undo should also affect the Unwrap UVW editor. If it doesn't, that probably means that you have the same key assigned in the Unwrap UVW hotkey section. I'm assuming you re-mapped undo to Z. By default Z is set to toggle "Zoom" mode in UVW editor, so that will override the main… -
Re: UVPackmaster 3 - GPU accelerated UV packer for Maya and Blender
I'd love to see an update as well, but I agree that the current version for Max is already great and understand there might not be a lot of demand. You can group islands in the UV editor or do name selection sets on a per face basis for editable poly or mesh objects, but both are fairly fleeting. Another more permanent… -

Re: My first self made exterior
Looks neat! I think the roof needs some more work. Right now it's just 100% rust. Could go with rust decals instead, or vertex painting? The STAIION signs look a bit low res The 66 sign looks low res too. The plants under the roadside STATTION sign look kinda old school. Give the grass a bit of a curve, and have it coming…
