EDIT: retracting some of my criticism over the license. Google led me to the price of the floating license, which about 1 year ago was pegged to be 800 USD. http://www.sidefx.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=2721&Itemid=391 Which sounds is reasonable. Yet I still think SideFX may be served better with a more…
I thought it would be helpful to new users in particular to share how I've customized my Modo for direct modeling and UVing Unreal Engine 4 game assets: Preferences Defaults > Animation Frames per Second = NTSC (30.0) Defaults > Application Group Selection Cmds = Uncheck Item Index Style = Item_2 Defaults > Auto Save Time…
Hello. I have finished my another animation. Please have a look and criticize. https://vimeo.com/178411324 If anyone is interested, I'll leave here my thoughts, how the work looked, what was my inspiration and etc. Apologise for my english, it's not my native language. So the idea for the whole animation came to my mind…
Latest version: (disclaimer, the "visibility" icon is ripped right from Silo, I'm too lazy to do my own yet!) <u>Overview</u> - My main changes here are shuffling around all the existing tools and settings into a more standard Windows interface. - All of the "most-used" features are in collapsible headings on the…
thought'd i'd share your post from facebook. Here is the LONG list if what happened between 3dsMax 2018 - 2019 Rendering Advanced Wood OSLMap Out of the box works in any renderer supporting the classic 3ds max shader API (Scanline, vRay, Corona etc.). It also means it works outside of renderers, anywhere in 3ds max where a…
Hey again! So, since I am not much of a video person I am just gonna post some graphs. My mastershader looks like a complete clusterf*ck, so I am gonna isolate the parts that are relevant to the moss, otherwise it will be too messy :P I am going to assume some basic knowledge of Unreal and SD for this. Otherwise there are…
Awwwwwww yiiiiiis. Documentation time. This write I have two major things to go over. First is going to be my process for sculpting rocks, while the next will be how I went about setting up my vertex paint shader in UDK and the mistakes and solutions encountered along the way. Rock Lobster and/or sculpting So I have never…
I cannot tell what is happening from these images, it could be any number of things. But I have some thoughts that might help. -When baking a curved high-poly edge down to a hard edge you usually get better results when the UVs for the low poly are split in the same places that the edges are hardened (or edge normals are…
Thanks Eric, appreciate that. And sure, I can do that. This is pure high poly rendered with vray. I started with a rough blockout. Then I started creating wall cladding for all the surfaces using just one plank rotated about 7,5 degrees and with local transform on I just copy it straight up so I get full surfaces. The…
So I stayed up extra late lastnight until the birds started chirping at the break of dawn (need sleep...speaking weird), and given that I am being stubborn to myself albeit a good or bad thing, I wanted to look for ACTUAL ways I can think about creating my rocks. I searched for and found some lovely references, not just…
