I built a tool I wished existed for batch rendering PBR materials
I used to waste hours doing the same repetitive setup every time I made a new texture- loading maps into Blender, Substance or Marmoset, rebuilding a material from scratch, tweaking nodes, lighting, and setting up a clean render just to see how the texture actually looked. If you’re a texture/technical artist, you know the… -

Re: How do I texture this part of the sneaker
Looking closer (Google Lens on your image to find a higher-rez shot) it looks to me like the white weave is bending around the holes. So I would model this with geometry, maybe three or four strands for each run, and texture each strand with a smaller weave pattern (which looks a bit like it might be a cable-knit kind of… -
Re: 3DS Max Triangle count
what max version are you using? if something below 2009, grab the guruware importer for those versions, it has a progress bar so you see that you'rem system is noch crashing + it's way faster on import second, don't let the polygons be shown in viewport, max can handle quite a lot internally created polies, imported will… -
Re: PNG or TGA ? I dont get it
I use cinema4D for non realtime renderings, UDK and unity for assets, mainly UDK So PNGs are smaller but the format compresses the image worse ? TGA handles mipmapping better so pixels dont get disorted as much when scaled I read out ? I dont quite get the transparency >< alpha thing Could you explain it a bit more visual… -

Re: 2D chain texture
"Now I'm a bit confused. I tried asking if he made the chain image himself by rendering it in blender or baking in painter similar to a trim sheet, OR, if he found it on google." It doesn't matter. It really, really doesn't ! That's why you won't get any definitive answers on this kind of question. The only thing you need… -
Re: [3DSMAX] Something similar to Blender Mesh-machine Offset Cut?
There are many options in max, but none comes close to the fast results you get from off-set cut. In principle it should be possible to do something similar with the boolean intersection and generating a spline mesh used as a cutout. But then trying to fill that removed strip of geometry with new topology like the strip of… -

Re: Watch Dogs: Holy shit.
Well, I just finished the game. Final play time was around 26 hours but there's still a lot left to do as I basically stopped doing side missions after Act 2 to finish the story mode since it picks up in intensity and doesn't stop until the end. The last few missions of the game were absolutely insane, they had to have…
