What I want to do in vTools specifically is invert the green channel of my normal map set. I'm a Maya user and currently my workflow for getting images ready for UDK is output everything as usual, then copy to another folder for UDK, then manually invert the green channel for normal maps. I would like to skip the step of…
I have a texture compression question. I am using Unity and right now I am using png for my texture format. I went through and used save for web png24 format to lower the file size. Not sure if this is the best way. When I did a build and looked through the txt files it says my file size was much larger than what it shows…
I am trying to use shave and a haircut with one of my model. I'm running Maya 2008. Somehow, shave is having some problem with SSS_fast_skin mental ray shader. 1st I ran try to render it would say "fatal error, Attempting to save in (temp folder)" and maya would crash. I searched around and find that if I turn off triple…
I just updated to the latest version of bridge having not used it for a while. I've reconfigured my folder structure and installed the scripts from the resource zip. Shader imports are working fine, atlas imports are working fine but 90% of the time 3D models are met with the following errors. I did manage to import a…
What's up everyone. I would love to get back into the Polycount community so I thought I would start off with this guy. I'm going to be poking around the forums quite a bit and giving feedback whenever possible so please comment if you feel so inclined! I've been saving this guy every since Heng Z posted him over a year…
I was recently looking through my 'My Received Files' folder in My Documents and came across two pictures of myself from two different times. One is about 6 month-8 month ago, drinking White Lighting (Cider) on the streets. The second is my now, from about a month ago in a pub (hehe). The change is quite remarkable. The…
The air conditioning is broken and its like a sauna in here so forgive me if my slowly broiling brain has missed something stupidly obvious here, but I can't seem to get the Maya 6.5 ASE file exporter to work. When I try to start it in the plug-in manager Maya comes up with an error message saying "The Operation Completed…
Has anyone come across this before? Last night I was messing with my normals that I created. I decided that I wanted to delete some of the layers and re-work them, as I wasn't happy with the way it looked. I deleted the zipped folders so now they are no longer present in my normal map, but when I update the whole scene in…
Hello, everyone. I am new to 3D models as a whole so please bear with me while i ask these questions. I ripped a file from a folder named "models" and it gave me two .png images. One with what looks like the texture, and a gray image that has a gray 3D look to it. I'm leaving an attachment to better explain what i mean. So…
Thanks! It's motivating to finally get feedback, should have updated earlier I used Painter with the lantern and the chest, and Photoshop with the chair. Probably needs a little more loving with sculpting as well, as the chest was the first time I've used Zbrush in this project. I'll definitely do another pass on it at…
