Re: Materials and draw calls
Is it based on the number of objects/subobjects on screen at any given time. Off-screen objects are culled based on their bounding box. Also, keep in mind that object shadows cause additional draw calls, and depending on which renderer you're using- you'll get additional draw calls for depth/normals pre-pass. You can use… -
Re: 3dsMax / UE4 Tools
I have yet to thoroughly test the newest version of the tool on 2016. I tend to be weary of updating to a new release immediately. Also, Be sure to set your fbx version to FBX 2014 as well, I don't have the tool set to do that, yet. I'll try and see what I can figure out on my end. Are you exporting with or without… -
Re: What are you working on? 2017
The ガルーダ(Garuda) Y-HOP Light Human Operated - Projector SMG is a light weight projection weapon. Built upon the Y-FRAME modular base system this body can fit multiple uses, but is usually restricted to short to medium range.

Re: [Solved] Blender Face weighted normals (controlling bevel weights?)
Just to be sure. You are making those "hard" edges right? Looks like all of your edges are soft and you've got a 90 degree angle producing that weird shading. I'm a Maya user but I assume that you want something similar to the right object in this screenshot: http://i.imgur.com/EHSs74A.png Same View but with Hard Edge… -
Re: Learning how a gun works?
Very nice resources here.

Re: Best way to handle normals with hollow objects?
This is Maya? Or 3ds Max? For double-sided models like this, for a game engine, you'll want to manually create the backfaces. You don't want a shader to duplicate the faces automatically, because usually those new faces will inherit either default vertex normals (and thus not work well with your normal map) or else will… -
Re: THIS JUST IN: MODO indie 901 has just been released!
I don't care how much more limited modo indie was in the past. I care about now. Instead of just locking off portions of the software an indie won't have the capital investment to use, the foundry chooses limitations that indies will have to actively workaround. Keep defending the roadblocks though, it's very amusing. Why… -
Re: [WIP] VTOL SHIP

I'm an… -
