When to make separate objects?
This has been bugging me for a while now. I'm a real rookie when it comes to modelling but I always like to try and get everything connected as one solid element. But then I see images where people have obviously used several different objects just placed together. I was wondering what the industry standard was when it… -
Problem with 3ds max and large objects??
Does anybody know how to speed up the workflow in Max when working with extremely large objects. I'm talking moon sized objects, roughly 2 miles across kind of size. The windows tend to get a bit wonky with rendering the textures and it's hard to move stuff around... -

College Project: Objects and a VG remix scene

The project was split into 2 parts, firstly a set of 4 objects, each with a 500 triangle limit, and a texture size of 512x512. The objects were: -A melee weapon… -

Re: object disappear with refraction material
Refraction sorting works best when the any element inside or behind the refractive element is split into a separate mesh/object. If the inside bits are part of the same object as the transparent element, try splitting them into unique objects and reexporting. -
Re: Combining UV's with different objects
Eric your right, but baking is not perfect and things can get messed up if the cage of one object intersects the area of another object. Slosh, Bek that's a great way of thinking outside of the box. Wait slosh how can I move multiple layers at the same time with smart objects. -
