Problems with mental ray
Hello! I was working on a model and the I wanted to test some fur on mental ray, when I try to do a preview render with mental ray, the cd unit (I don't know if it is called like that) launches and then maya crashes. I am using a macbook pro with maya 2012. My file is a low poly character with normals, and color (nothing… -
Problem - Bone envelopes not synced with actual bones
Okay, so I have this problem with my skin envelopes where they seem to be locked in a position where I was moving the rig around to test the quality of the skin. I'm using CAT (Because I'm not too fond of rigging just yet) and I've toggled all of the animation layers on and off and I've reset it in and out of animation… -

Alphas in UDK
Hey guys, so this is my first question. I've been a lurker for a while, I figured it's about time I get serious about getting help at becoming a better 3D Artist, so here it goes :) I'm working on a project right now and I need to use FBX objects as static meshes in UDK, the January 2011-2012 version. Right now I'm having… -
Sketchbook: Gurutree
Hey guys, I'm new to this forum. I'm here to get good critiques and technical advice. I've been making 3D art for about 5 years now, going at a snails pace at The Art Institute in San Francisco (my real name's Jason Pettibone for those of you that know me from school - hey). So here is what I'm working on right now: I'm… -
I think I've given up on pc gaming?
So after buying Dark Messiah of Might and Magic which is a fantastic game by the way, I found that I got 3 levels in and it literally locked up my computer with read writes to the hard disk. I even had a radeon x1650 512 card and I could not play the game when 4 enemies came on screen even with lowest quality settings… -
Learning Modular Design
Hello, I have decided to teach myself modular design, and the 3d modeling pipeline and workflow for hard surfaces from 3DS Max 2012 to UDK. For texturing I am using PS CS5. The model is very simple, only 22 total verts. I pick a very simple road to start with, and would like some input and some critics on my overall… -

The manipulators for everything else still work fine, such as the Translate. So far I have tried resetting to default settings, resetting the manipulator tool settings,… -

I havent been able to get anything close to usable with this method. Ive set it up as follows: The low-poly mesh is in both the High definition meshes list and Low definition meshes list. In the Low definition list, the path to the normal map is placed in the Highpoly normals override file section and the Highpoly… -
Re: Confusion over UV mapping with texel denisty in mind
So, someone more knowledgeable might come in and contradict me, but as I understand it, texel density is more of a guideline than a rule; efficient use of textures is more important. Stacking UVs is fine, because in unreal you'll generally have a second UV set for the lightmaps. When you're baking maps with stacked UVs,…
