Re: 3DS max Normal map help
Are you viewing the results in max? if so, be sure to set the bump map strength to 100% instead of the default 30. beyond that. turning on super sampling can make for a nicer result. Also, if you're not planning to add anything else to that texture, there's a lot of unused UV space. -
Re: Displacement Map in Marmoset Toolbag
zbrush has smoothing , but no proper tangent. dont expect to get good normal map if you use zbrush obj, either marmoset or pixologic hopefully will fix this issue now regarding to UV, you need to turn on merge uv in zbrush in tools, ( should be on by default ) -

Re: High Poly Models and Normal Mapping
Thanks Poop. We've been working on #3, but had to put it aside for the time being to get other things going. The artists here are really itching to get that in. KDR, that's cool. Have you figured out why seams appear on the default Doom III models? -
Re: What the fuck is up with photoshop cs4 snapping to grid?
Sounds like a bug... sounds like you just needs to restart the app or something, I've had some strange bugs with CS4... There's not much trickery with the snap to grid function... Check if the workspaces has anything to do with the bug, Window > Workspace. Try the default one. -
Re: MR AO bake vs scanline AO bake in Max?
I always bake my AO with just the scanline renderer, mostly default settings. I place a skylight, set it to cast shadows, raise or lower the bias for bigger or sharper shadows, then do a ShadowsMap with render to texture and paste it over my diffuse set to multiply. -
Re: Warmachine WIP
hmmm even with the turn around I still say you can add dinks and kinks to it alot more than what your pushing, default lighting or not. It needs just a bit more OMPF to it (similar to dawn of war characters if you wanna get the idea) -
Re: rendering normals with light & shadow
make sure mental ray is using "maya derivatives" in the preferences, otherwise it will display your normal maps badly Again wheeling out Paul Tosca's image, it seems people hit this issue twice a week, maybe they should just default this option to "on" in Mental Ray... -
Re: [Question] Quake 3 Main Menu
Yes this is true and thats what I ended up doing for one of my mods I play but as for the Quake III sign there shown in the picture I think I'll leave it default as I don't really care that much about it hehe thanks for the info though ) -
Re: alpha channels using photoshop CS2, and Max 8...
If the problem is filtering, like Eric mentioned, you can turn it off in the bitmap properties section of the material. It defaults to Pyramidal (or something like that), so change it to None. Try turning it off in just the opacity map and see if that helps. Haven't tried it myself but it's worth a shot.
