This functionality is built into ZB4> isn't it? You can do this with the CREASE button inside the geometry pallete, unless I'm not understanding what you are after? I've just tried it and it worked fine here on ZB 4.2 r1. Send the object with smoothing groups setup to ZBrush using GoZ, open the GEOMETRY pallete, press the…
You can get that i7 4770k over 4ghz no problem with the Noctua, 4.2 stable. A Corsair 500W PSU is not enough: You will want to upgrade at a later date and 750W would be my recommendation at a minimum for this current build choice. Your SSD costs almost 3 times the PSU :poly122: go for the Gigabyte Z87X-UD3H I come out at…
Smooth group splits. I split the mesh along UV seams, since UV seams already break the mesh up. It's actually probably a bad habit, but I physically split the meshes up (disconnect component in XSI parlance), since my old-ass version of XSI (4.2) has a normal baker that doesn't comprehend hard edges. I'm sure it would be…
This environment piece i took way more into account the resources i used on it, total poly count is 492, and the maps are all 1024 x 1024. It still has some tweaks left but aside from the technical fixes and changes based on crits im happy with it. Im starting to update my portfolio and im starting simple and i will add…
incorporated the icon and macroscript technique into my TexTools release (your code was a nice help to figure stuff out with the icons): http://boards.polycount.net/showpost.php?p=991290&postcount=472 I changed the icon though and added a command to refresh the icon cache in 3dsmax (on the installation), otherwise you…
its baaack. Didn't want to start a new one and end up in the hotseat like Ben. However, i do believe beyond personal feelings. This can effect us. What if say, Comcast doesnt like the traffic that a game uses. So blocks access to that online game unless say you the publisher (or client) pay a fee?…
I thought .3ds could support animation but it's pretty crappy, I mean old. FBX seems to be pretty good, but when bringing in files from one program to another some things work and others don't. I think you should just try it an see what works for you. XSI can import straight out of the box after version 4.2 3ds, obj, fbx…
go to sleep your dorks its 430 am here in virginia and mine is still unlocking . fun fun indeed ;/ ok its been done for a while now and after playing a bit i have to say it looks very awesome. hell it is awesome. some of the textures in the world are a bit low res but as a whole the environments and charaacters are second…
