Re: 3DS Max 2011 licensing issue. Advice needed.
That happened to me once with the full US version of 2010, my net connection dropped while it was transferring a license key and was stuck in limbo for two days while I went back and forth with their service rep via their web support site trying different things. I ended up deleting some files that allowed it to… -
Re: UDK - Tree canopy normals/3D motive Foliage
Hey there! Try adding a little emissive based off a fresnel -- it'll start to eliminate the dark shadow. The drawback to this method is the tree will always have a slight ambient glow, even in complete shadow ... so use it tastefully. As far as transfer attributes goes -- you got it! This is how to change normal directions… -
Re: 3DS Max normal map merging with RTT
You don't need to reproject. You can transfer from UV1 to UV2. I've done this successfully several times. * Make sure you don't have normal map nodes. Just plug the normal map into the diffuse channel. * Set the Self Illum color to 100% or White to remove the lighting transfer. * Make sure you are looking at the file on… -
Re: Modo scripts
An updated must have from Farfarer: Various tools for controlling vertex normals within MODO. It gives options for: Edge smoothing (hard/soft edges and smoothing groups). Weighting of vertex normals (area and/or angle, or full). Calculating more accurate normals for non-planar polygons than MODO does natively. Transferring… -
Re: bad normal maps
This is incorrect. Maya stores tangent-space settings per mesh in the scene, so if you bake any normal-maps for that mesh, they will display correctly in the viewport. The only time they wouldn't is if you changed the tangent-space setting after baking. It's definitely a ray length issue - it's just not tracing far enough.… -

Zbursh - just trying to make a displacement map!!
I've imported an OBJ object into Zbrush (pre UV unwrapped) and I understand now that OBJ files don't transfer UV's to Zbrush? So I was trying to import a Maya ASCII file for the same object to transfer over the sculpted detail onto it and then export. When I import it into tools in Zbrush, it imports one part of the file?… -
Switcher - but for Max to Maya setup
So I know there is the cool little program called Switcher that lets you transfer your Maya view port ability's to Max but is there one that transfers from Max to Maya? I prefer Max to Maya ten fold but need to get back into the swing of the things with Maya. I would prefer to keep the Max way of doing things as I like Max… -
Re: ZBrush, project normal maps to another object?
If you want to transfer an existing normal map, I'd take Bal's advice. The closest zbrush would be able to do is to treat the normal map like a texture/polypaint and transfer it that way, which wouldn't compensate for the different in tangents/etc on the new mesh. If you just mean using the geometry of one object to create… -
Re: Monthly Noob Environment Challenge 2
Heyup, here's some progress. I spent some time making high poly and low poly assets for all the mechanical pieces. The good news is I used maya's transfer mapping successfully for a change. The bad news is the assets really don't look all that great... But I can revisit that. Now I've turned some of my blocked out pieces…
