If you're talking about maintaining a high and low version of each kitbash piece, I'd recommend against it. Using that robot hand as an example, you'd be throwing verts around for things like the finger bones instead of scaling them. Now you're in the position of having to make the same edit for the complimentary model.…
[ QUOTE ] Did Jorel just say that he sent him to earth to set a good example for all the humans? So... he didn't send him to earch cause his planet was gonna blow up and he'd get super strong on earth??? [/ QUOTE ] Yeah that's what I was getting at. I do believe that we will still see Krypton exploding id rather see Supes…
hahaha Rob. Maxscript is waiting for yOOoooOOouuu... With all of its deliciously nasty outdated and redundant code... Its calling to you: ROOOoooOoob... come baaaaAAaahhcck. Please try to script something for biped, we dare yoooouuu... Ahem. Yep if you hover your mouse over the center yellow line it will highlight a…
Hi guys, Max: I used a single smoothing group for all the polygon faces in the editable poly before the TurboSmooth (low-polycount sphere), then I tried it again with another editable poly after the TurboSmooth (high-polycount sphere), but the "corners" remained in each case. I also tried different amount of segmentation…
Vig: You're right, in the case of the UnrealEd version that ships with UT2004, you can only raise and lower verts. However, I believe they have some funky system in the UT2007 version / UE3 that allows some kind of sideways displacement. You can use matinee to create a flythrough camera view that will play in the editor.…
ok so i got it down to 1813, your original was 2949. basically what i did was get rid of your built in windows. i recreated a single poly behind them. and just had them push through as a floater. i also redid the top of the tower itself, the bars are thin enough they can be done with an alpha when you texture it. same with…
Not that i know of. I uninstalled everything i thought would conflict with it but it's all the same thing. I have max 7 on here also.. and only one HD to work from.. idk what could be causing it. Must be somthing new in max8 to run it that my computer doesnt like? idk. HELP:( thanx for assisting me everyone but i am still…
Hmm really hard to tell what the error might be given the information you gave. Maybe reconfigure the partition setup in a different way (the swap should the the last partition to provide faster access btw), and use EXT3 instead of ReiserFS (which is more or less discontinued and unsupported by now since the creator of it…
For belts and stuff in Max I always use the Shell modifier. That way you just need to model a plane really, wrap it around the body or whatever, then use Shell to control the thickness/outline of the resulting mesh. I use it on all my straps and it's awesome :) A sneaky detail trick you can do after that to add some trims,…
A good artist will tell you that tools don't matter. It's like turing-complete programming languages: As long as you have the basics, anything is possible. Wings is actually a very good toolset though, primarily limited in this day and age by the speed of the language it's written in. It's actually based off Mirai which…
