Re: Blender - Mirroring Custom Normals
Yea custom normals have very limited support in Blender (same goes for 3DSMax). Best solution is to just leave the normals alone until you're done with your model, and customize them on the otherwise finished piece. Customizing normals while still working on the model is a bad idea. -
Re: NYX - Student project
Started the next asset...time is running out, still so many work left >.< Mansion will be a complete level in UDK, 94.000 Tris, 2*2048 Normal maps, one 1024 tileable for the floor will follow. btw...3dsMax is much more stronger than I've expected xD -
Re: A Practical Guide On Normal Mapping For Games
"In tangent space coordinates, a face normal (N) direction is used for Z axis on the coordination system." Just a head up that this is (usually) a vertex normal, rather than a face normal (although 3DSMax DOES orthogonalise it's tangents/bitangents to a "faceted" face normal, rather than the vertex normal). -
Re: Normal maps never export correctly - UV Seam Artifacts
I'm having the same issue, but I'm using Mudbox to bake my normal maps and bring them into 3DsMax. Here are my maps and the rendered image.https://www.dropbox.com/s/wkg3zg4ohp0ytz7/Dog%20Issues.jpg https://www.dropbox.com/s/ysk1r96r73ngplc/Normal.png https://www.dropbox.com/s/0e7pcybjhisjt6d/uvws-daschund.jpg -
Re: XNormal Unable to Bake Multiple UV's ?
Yep here comes: UV's are just fine. I am just using " Ray Distance Calculator" in the Tools section. Is it wrong ? As you can see it is just like.... as if you are baking it in 3dsMax without seperatng them so parts that are close to each other bakes on each other. -
Re: Substance - Bug Reports and Feature Requests
Thanks, we are able to repro the crash. Until we fix this, using fbx should work properly. Also, importing/reexporting the mesh in 3dsmax solved the problem. It looks like we don't read the obj coming straight from zbrush correctly. I'll keep you posted. -
Re: normal map artifacts
alright, i've determined its something with the model, but i can explain it, because i've remade the model 4 times now in every way i could think of and the result is the same across the board, xnormal, maya, even 3dsmax. Time to reformat and start over i suppose. -
Re: aesir's sidescroller art
I finally finished my animation for school and turned that shit in, so I had a little time to model. This is as far as I got, and now its Finals week. and Im only using the concept as a rough guide. I like playing around with things as I go in 3dsmax. -
Re: noobie 3ds max hotkey question
Keyboard shortcut override needs to be on or you need to unbind q everywhere else its used. In the main menu look for this or (2009 and older) http://docs.autodesk.com/3DSMAX/13/ENU/Autodesk%203ds%20Max%202011%20Help/index.html?url=./files/WSf742dab041063133728b9b2112a1ce7292-7f14.htm,topicNumber=d0e256575 -
Re: The best laptop for 3d work
Mine's made by some random tiny no-hope company, but it's got a Radeon 9000 Mobility in it, which runs 3dsmax very well. It even does DX viewport shaders! However, it's over a year old now, so I'm sure you can do better than that these days.
