Re: Growing vines for game use
animated clipping plane could work, but implementing it in Unity isn't trivial. You'd need set up a special camera and render layers in Unity. you have to think through this backwards starting with implementation methods in Unity: Skinned Mesh; Blendshapes; Shaders; custom plugins. Most the cool stuff in max/maya doesn't… -
Re: HQ Showreel Renders with Mental Ray
It appears to make no difference if lighttracer is turned on or off. About GI in general i dont know but it makes sence. Sorry but i am still on the search for a mental ray shader in Max since i am not a Maya user. Now maybe i wasnt quite clear on this but i need no real time viewport shader since i need video footage with… -

Re: UV unwrap a low poly rectangular box?
While this thread is good for best practices in UV unwrapping in a general sense I am interested on how to apply these best practices in specific scenarios. What I'll do is provide my methods of applying UV unwrapping practices and at any moment if you see parts of what I do that isn't really good or up to best practices… -
Re: What am I doing wrong? (Another) Texture Seam/Lighting Question
Thank you for your responses and advice, Ben Apuna and Tristamus. I had previously already read both of those links your provided, but reread it in the event I missed something before acting upon Ben Apuna's suggestions. I think I fixed my problem, here's two screenshots: NOTE: The texture used in the below images contain… -
Re: Can't have fun playing games anymore, everything becomes competitive.
Youre the killer archetype player clearly. You play for dominance mainly and winning over other people and can't handle losing. Its a very common playertype. (Killer, Achiever, Socializer, Explorer, Trader) Most people are a mix of multiple types. The die hard killer archetypes care only about winning over others and… -
Re: TetraPaint - 3D Painting application
Some immediate thoughts from about 30 minutes messing with it: -It eats a ton of GPU processing power both when minimized and when idle (this is on a Geforce 650, so low-end, but shouldn't matter). -Not a fan of the navigation. Works fine in the 2D viewport, but not so well in the 3D one. Modo/Sculptris navigation would be… -
Re: Anyone still using 3dsmax 2009?
Those posts are pretty obsolete and almost were back then right from the start... I brought the earthquake zbrush model into MAx 2009 and Max 2016 on the same machine ( GTX780/6 GB, i7-4930K 6 -core/32GB Ram ) . This lead to an 945MB file, about 6.5 mio polys, split into 8 seperate objects. Pure viewport performance in Max… -
Re: Anything we can do about bad art schools?
I'm a part time instructor at Champlain college of Vermont's Montreal campus. People can 'blame' the schools all they want, but 99% of their success is completely based on what the students put into it. That said, I honestly believe having a strong peer group that are close personally, and are open, honest, and share info… -
Re: Maya depth shader controlled by ramp?
kodde: Yea I was more wondering why malcolm was looking to do it that way in the first place. If the filter in your compositing package expects to use blur strength based on how much black there is then that makes sense I suppose (I didn't see a package/filter mentioned) but my (however limited) experience is that if a…
