Re: Smoothshaded view in ZBrush?
Not happy, try mudbox , smooth shaded, and sluggish... Nice functionality huh ? Frankly, i'm amazed how fast people can still complain even with some of the most advanced technology. Give me the name of another app that can handle those amount of polys without too much slowdowns and in realtime. If you really want this… -
Re: Sword (stylized prop real time)
Thanks for the clarification! Game employers don't care about the layers that go into making the maps, we only care about the quality of the final maps. We only want to see Albedo, Occlusion, Roughness, Metalness, Bump, Emissive, Transparency, etc. Only the final maps that get used to render in the game engine. Here is the… -
Re: RIGGING?? advice
You should also learn to script in your program of choice to automate alot of your rigging. Obviously learn the fundamentals of rigging things a certain way, but then try to figure out how to script the same thing. Try to look at rigging from an animator's perspective, try different types of rigs, animate with them, learn… -
Re: What's your go to app for texture baking?
I'll be blunt with you. This is a terrible idea. Realtime or offline rendering, you would be much better off creating a layered material with multiple high res tiles that you blend together to transition between materials and create variation. To make such a high resolution texture, you would want to do this anyway. There… -
Re: Terrible Advice/Myth Thread.
Ravenslayer: Those are still images, though. When you create a 3d model, you presumably create it for the purpose of being shown off in realtime, so every side matters equally- you can't fully dictate at what angle, height or in which exact surrounding it's seen in. More so than just the black or white backgrounds, it's… -

Re: Is Modo really that amazing?
Last I tried them the spline tools in Modo seemed a bit primitive coming from Max, though I never delved too deep into them... iirc there's also no selection memory, so if you have nothing selected and rotate sometimes the camera will fly off into nowhere instead of going based on the last thing that was selected. Other… -
Re: [WIP] Newbie pieces
FINAL UPDATE!! I know I could work on that piece like forever and there are always things to find which could be improved, but I am proud and satisfied with and finally I call it done! Some trackback: The cashbox was modeled highpoly and lowpoly in 3D Studio Max 2012, baked with 3D Studio Max 2012, normal detail was added… -
Re: Camera Mapping or cammap
oh I did lots with camera mapping ,- actually been a favorite topic for me many times (not just engines, but also image modeling, extracting textures, rendering, FX, compositing,and many more). I used the max camera mapping modifers in combination with my first as3 3d game engine to project environment renderings on… -
Re: Normal Map Banding
Hey guys, that sounds like a pretty reasonable conclusion to all of this. I just wanted to make sure I wasn't missing anything and that what I was seeing was indeed banding. I think now I understand: * Why the banding is occurring, * That there is nothing I can do about it directly * The only way around it is to modify my…
