Re: Screws/screwholes normalmaps - minimizing work
Chiming in to say get the Advanced Painter script. http://www.scriptspot.com/3ds-max/advanced-painter It works in Max 9, I use it at work all the time. It lets you select a piece of geometry as a "brush" and then paint it onto another piece of geometry - so now those 20 screws you wanted to put around are all properly… -
Re: Arizona's new immigration law
Mexicans scare me and they should go back to that crummy country. All they do is import drugs that kill out kids and don't speak English. /sarcasm I live in Kansas where there's a large Mexican population (sometimes around 20%) there's a lot that don't speak much English, some are legal, some aren't its not that big of a… -
Re: Battlefield 1942....Let's get a game on!
[ QUOTE ] Astro, yeah I usually play on either [STZ] or [VZ] servers. Typically just those two. They are smallish 16~20 player servers and the people are very nice. STZ has somewhat strict rules about cursing and camping which are good to filter out the real trouble makers. My name ingame is always just "JerryP" and I am… -
Re: Let's talk about schooling
if you choose a school based on 3d art.. be sure to look at the instructers portfolios first! i would estimate a good majority of the portfolios of 3d instructors that i have looked at are laughinly bad, probably around 20% of 3d instructors will have portfolios that make you go "WOW" but like others have advised, a… -
Re: Dell buys Alienware?
[ QUOTE ] Well, I've had to repair like 500 dells, and yet I've only once seen an Alienware computer come in to be repaired. [/ QUOTE ] Do you think that might be due to the ubiquitous nature of the Dell brand? I don't have any statistics, but I believe Dell has a MUCH larger market share than Alienware, so naturally if… -
Re: Your Top 50 "Favorite" films of all time!
50 movies? A bit much for me! I'll list out a top 10-20. Some movies aren't in a highly accurate order, more like "top movies". Top 5 is accurate though. 1. The Big Lebowski 2. Pi 3. The Fountain 4. Bubba Ho Tep 5. Made 6. Swingers 7. Crash 8. Shaun of the Dead 9. Poolhall Junkies 10. Dark City 11. Cube 12. Stranger than… -
Re: Low poly clips High poly - Render to Tex
Haha, sorry Chai, it was a quick test render because I knew it wasn't going to come out right so I rendered it small. (why wait 20 minutes for a messed up AO?) You can still clearly see the parts that work - and the parts that don't. So in this case, size does not matter. Eraserhead - I forgot to bring the file home with… -
Re: Umbrella Mans Prop Thread
If this is intended for game use, I would get rid of those rounded edges and extra polys to smooth it out, and put that sort of detail into a normal map, since most games (PC/360/PS3 etc) support that these days. If it's not intended for real-time use then that's ok. I would make this a base for a high-poly model with all… -
Re: Computer Hardware/ Builder Help
well you're the one with the money, might wanna do some research!! my iMac runs windows and any 3d software very well. With 2gb ram it would be blazing, and only cost 2000 dollars. although what I'm thinking you're after is a custom system right? over 128mb to 512mb graphics card (gforce run hotter) processor over 2ghz… -
Re: Skin and Weights
[ QUOTE ] Also annoying is that some verts are set to red (1.0) by default and i cant change there weight!? [/ QUOTE ] If a vert is only influenced by one bone, then it will always be set to 1.0 (red). Weight it to another bone and then you should be able to adjust the vert weight. It won't let you weight between one bone…
