Re: Problem Baking Normal Maps in 3ds Max 7
- It could be running out of memory, because the high poly mesh is too dense or your lighting/render setup is too convoluted. If you try rendering with the default settings does it error out? - Can you bake even simple objects? - Are you using any advanced materials like VRay or Mental Ray materials and trying to bake with… -
Re: [Technical Talk] - FAQ: Game art optimisation (do polygon counts really matter?)
for coders mostly batch = drawcall. drawcall: typically consists of "world matrix", fragment & vertex shader, render states (blend,alpha-, depth-test...), textures to be used and the geometry the geometry is a vertex buffer + indices which make the triangles (1,2,3, 2,3,4 ...), you dont need to use all vertices in the… -
Re: Soundtracks? Instrumentals?
I'm surprised no one has mentioned the soundtrack for American McGee's Alice by Chris Vrenna. -
Re: Advice on lightmaps in game engines
Well, this is how I did in an old engine some time ago: - Used lightmaps on quad polygons (for walls). The walls were planar-UV-mapped automatically (and automatically packed) by the game editor not by the artist. Via texture matrix you could mirror, tile or rotate the wall's mapping. - Static meshes. The game editor… -
Re: Tga to PNbloodyG
If you want to work with PNGs like TGAs with alpha channels in a newer Photoshop version than 5.5, you can replace the PNG.8bi file format with an old version and then you will see the layer transparency as an alpha channel and can save the PNG with an alpha channel. Here you can download the old PNG.8bi file format file:… -
Re: I hate maya...
Oh how novel, another 'Maya blows' thread! People never quite get this, but Maya is exactly what you want it to be. Target weld mel code: /* targetWeld- emulates the behaviour of the 3dsMax tool - snap selected vertex to location of a second vert, and weld/merge them. Campbell Strong 9/02 4.0 > 02/03 4.5… -

With vray you also can do it quickly. -
Re: Next-Gen Adventure game Mill *updated*
Wow thank you for all the kind replies:)! @ Mop: Yeah showing the rendertime is pretty pointless, it's some frame stamp from Vray, but I might aswell turn it off. Kind of forgot the stairs but you are right, they will be there. @ cholden/caseyjones: Well I quickly modeled this as sort of "concept", it's really crude with… -
Re: tesla sedan
Just wanted to correct this. The 45 min quick charge was on the 480v outlet. Not that it would change what you are saying, but I wanted to just note. Also to Sandbag, if you are looking for power, the model S and the roadster would beat the snot outta the mustang. Electric cars have 100% of the torque from the instant you… -
Re: Daves Maya Qstns- (another one of "those"threads)
*Append Poly is your Maya connect. Now that they've got the loop and ring stuff in there you shouldn't need MJ Poly Tools at all. Probably *I'm fairly sure you're stuck with Maya's navigation. You'll get used to it pretty quickly, its not that different. *I haven't used silo, but you can highlight different kinds of…
