Re: SOLVED: DDO Material not working properly
Hi wysiwyg!! After a lot of testing in modifying smoothing groups and test testing a bunch of export setting, I finally figured it out!! You have a problem with your xform on your object. To make it work just do as follow: In 3Dsmax (or other software) detach the elements (make theim a separate object) in red then perform… -
Re: Zbrush > Max scale problems
the moving pivot is a bit of a puzzle, funky scaling can be corrected by manually typing in the correct export coordinates in zbrush so restart the program, select a zsphere, reimport the original correctly scaled max .object into it. Scroll down to tools>export. There's a whole bunch of coordinates; scale, x offset etc.… -
Re: Environment art workflow questions: texel density importance, when to bake highpoly
I get what you are saying, for the object that are the same distance to the player the TD must ofcourse be as exact as possible, if its a smaller object it will use lower texture resolution. Lets say TD is 1k per 1x1m. 1x1m wall will have 1k texture, 2x2m wall will have 2k texture, different resolutions, TD is the same.… -
Re: Passion: What is yours? (Vets and all)
I like creating pretty objects! Beyond that, I like a wide variety of foods and drinks, I highly enjoy travelling when I can, watching lots of movies, and spending time with the wife and kids. But I'd be lying if I didn't say I loved making pretty objects the most. And oXY- even pretty objects say something- sometimes… -
Re: Art test Maya unit
When you generate your geometry, there are generic units that show the size / scale of your object. I'm not a Maya guy, but it's under the attributes of the object. For your hallway you would want to generate a plane or a box 8 units long. Go into scale and change it to 8, and that will be considered 8 meters. The test may… -
Re: how to render isolines in max
Make a duplicate of your object, put a push modifier on it with a setting of .1. Now assign it a material that has the "wireframe" box ticked inside it. I just tried this and it renders the isolines when I have a turbosmooth modifier on, with "isoline display" checked. Now you have an isoline wireframe overlay of any color… -
MEL how to loop through a list and update the value each time.
Hi guys, I'm trying to take my selection of 5 objects and print the name of first object, then when I run the code a second time print the name of the next object and so on. This works until it gets to the end of the list, but after that the scripts dies and I'd like it to go back to the beginning of array and print the… -
beast lightmapper- turn off self shadowing?
I have some foliage objects I am trying to get working with light maps but the self shadowing coming from a combaination of direct light + skylight is making them really dark around areas where the geometry intersects. Is there any way to turn off self shadowing? I have tried the check boxes for receive and cast shadows… -
maxscript - copy vars from referencetarget
heyho, my problem is I have a custom referencetarget object (tool provided by someone else) this reference target has a bunch of vars .. like .name .color .allowexport and so on.. not how can I copy all the values of these vars from one instance of such an referencetarget to another. let's say I have the vars a and b .. I… -
To Cage, or not to Cage
I have just now baked some Normal Maps in 3ds Max and at first I used a Cage for every object. It resulted in some skewed and squashed detail which I deduced to be caused by the Rays not being shot perpendicular to the faces, but slightly angled, due to the difference between the Object Vertex and the Cage Vertex. I then…
