Re: You know what really grinds my gears???
* Dealing with the horror-movie that goes on underneath 3DSMax's hood. * I get heartburn all the time. * I reek of producer. No amount of showering can get the stink off. * I hate meetings. * I secretly (no so secret anymore!) wish for a bazooka so I can point at my head and leave nothing to chance. -
Re: My first model. Help !
This is your first model? Well that's at least better than mine, a teapot:) I think if you read up some tutorials and the 3dsmax help file and you will do fine. Good ones are @ ben's site www.poopinmymouth.com and www.3d-palace.com and 3dtotal.com soo that's something to get you started. Good luck with your model! -
Re: Zero for Quake3
Well, I guess I'll just scale the skin down to something like 128x128 then. Don't judge the skin too harshly yet though, I was planning on overlaying it with a cel shader once I put it ingame. The hair also does have an alpha channel, I just couldn't get it to look properly in 3dsMax. -
Re: T-Pose References?
You should also try out Silo or wings3D for modeling and use another app like Blender or Milkshape to export to a game format. Silo isn't free, but its cheap. It doesn't do all that 3dsmax and Maya can, but its pure hot-buttered joy on a stick. The work flow is easy to pick up and easy to customize. -
Re: Sci-Fi Corridor Segment
ROFL - awesome image. Jett12 - I can't open it right now as my PC is running out of memory - but I think you can turn up the strength of the bump effect - I think in the same way you can in 3dsmax (though I think you're using maya so that maybe totally meaningless to you. ) -
Re: 3ds Max performance issues
The most obvious thing to try is to disable Aero. since that thing is 3D, it taxes the vidcard. 3D windows are most certainly the dumbest OS feature ever invented... Also 2010 has UI features that are now known for slowing down things. I would say go for a fresh 2009, it's supposedly the best 3DSMax available. -
Re: bendy polygon shenanigans
Since you're using 3dsmax, if your model is an Editable Poly object, just select two vertices of the offending polygon, and click Connect. That should turn your poly (what looks like a 5-sided face) into a triangle and a quad, and it will either make it convex or concave depending on which vertices you connect with a new… -
Re: Must-have 3dsm Plugins ?
That's because its 6-7 years old? Besides most of the features have been rolled into 3dsmax. The only ones I can think of that have not, are the align, and space evenly. But there are tons of other scripts out there that do that without a bulky cumbersome interface... I loved chugnutts tools but, I'm afraid that ship has… -
Re: Normal Map problems
Yeah Mojo, I tried that, evidently you found the same thing - it doesn't help I'm gonna see what happens on the current high-poly model I'm doing. Almost finished the low-poly mesh, gonna UV-map it then do normal-map renders from 3dsmax, and hope it works. If not, Melody is the best bet... -
Re: The Hangman
Usually i start with sphere in zbrush. I create something like sketch sculpt with correct shapes, silhouettes. After that i retopologize my sketch model in 3dsmax /because clean surface of model/ and than i add details in zbrush. When is highpoly model done i start with lowpoly retopo, uv's, smoothgroups and bake of…
