Re: Rat Bird!
Keen: Thanks man! MeshMolder: Thanks! (MeshMolder asked me in a PM how I made the cut lines in Zbrush, and I realized I never clarified that I ended up not being able to make the cut lines look right in zbrush. So in max I turbosmoothed the mesh once, selected the edges where I wanted cuts, chamfered them, then and beveled… -
Re: Draw Calls and batching
Most modern game engine should support instancing. In this case you have one copy of the model on the video cards and just a list of position etc. to place the same model all over the place. In fact one drawcall without any memory limitations. Sharing materials and textures is important. Most engines will process meshes in… -
Re: Why did I switched to Linux ? [ What You Need To Know ! A Game Artist perspective ]
Yeah, somehow my windows haven't updated up to 1809 . Have just done it manually. It works now but still I hate it. Many programs, 3d max for example still show open dialog white but the main problem is why so pitch black. Why no color customization? And I agree with thomasp same goes to macOS It's a kind of senseless… -
Re: Development log - Building a complete car from scans - VR Game dev
Hello everyone. Can someone with more blueprint/unreal experience give me some advice? Step 1 of my project is room scale with the ability to snap and unsnap parts with your hands. I need to plan for long term functionality when the parts can be swapped out for damaged, clean, and aftermarket versions. Also I need it to be… -
Re: [help!] unable to run mel script on multiple objects :/
On a side note, does anyone perhaps know why exporting/saving through a script would cause maya to throw an error when trying to overwrite a fie? EDIT: actually it's not even writing the file the first time. it simply isn't there. I've checked the properties and it says it's read + write for my user. Maybe I'm going about… -
Re: nDo2 BETA
Stertman, Glad to hear it! We really appreciate your confirmation :) Noors,Thanks for the feedback! The displacement map is based on nVidia's height conversion algorithm, which produces a pretty accurate approximation of the original normal. All the missıng detail you're describing is actually there, only not visible in… -
Re: Viewport canvas/seam fixing problem
The reason you're seeing a black line on your UV's seam is similar to an issue game artists face caused by mip-mapping. With-in your viewport, your texture is being displayed at a smaller size than it actually is for greater performance. 3d modeling software typically have different settings for displaying texture sizes… -
Re: wacom problem.....
Does the little blue light blink a lot occasionally, and sometimes you get a "USB Device Not Recognized" error from windows, or does it just not respond to the mouse or the pen? Have you tried the diagnostics to see if the tablet is communicating with the computer? If not open the Wacom Tablet Properties, click About, then… -
Re: Zbrush vs Mudbox performance?
You also have to consider that Zbrush uses a lot of tricks when it comes to dense models. For instance when you zoom out it swaps in a lower res version, quite clever. Also when you zoom very close in, the viewport response might become very slow, yet the sculpting on tiny areas will still be quite responsive. Mudbox deals… -
Re: [Portfolio] ivanushka
Everyone, Thanks for the useful suggestions! Jeremy Lindstrom, LMP, makecg, Paulewog: The "Gallery" page has now been made into the main index page. Interestingly enough, I used to have this setup on an older version of the site, but have since opted to go with a separate gallery page. You have all swayed me back in this…
