[3DS Max] Lightmap + DirectX Shader issues.
Hi everyone, I am reading Polycount since a long while, but it’s my very first thread. :) I am struggling to have the lightmaps working properly in the 3DS Max viewport of a low poly environment I am working on.

Hello Polycount, I am currently starting my own tutorial channel, working on making very comprehensive tutorials with project files that will go slow and cover every step. I'd like some feed back and ideas for future tutorials. I am also doing 3ds max ones, so please know that I am willing to cover than and most other… -
Low poly Dwarf mesh - need topology advice (1st 3D character)
Hey all - first up, sorry for this rant... hoping some of you take some time to read it - I just joined Polycount and, as such, am a bit nervous about sharing my less-than-stellar work ( I'm a game designer with some commercial experience... so this art stuff is new to me), but I need some help!

Dynamic Character Project: Male Human
Greetings all: time for the dreaded first post. ;P Just a quick background: I hail primarily from the GameDev.net forums, after having recently taken interest in solidifying my rather sketchy modeling, rigging, and animation skills.

Re: Progress!!!!!
100% agree with James I started learning MODO about 14 months ago, but it wasn't until the past couple of months that I switched to 3ds max and wanted top create higher polished assets rather than a HUGE environment, not just yet anyways. I have limited advice, but the ones I follow would be: 1. make an Artstation account… -
Re: Games art University portfolio application
I may be a bit bias, but I would personally recommend the Games Art and Design course at Hertfordshire. The following information is based mostly on my own recent experience of searching for a Games Art course ( just started my first year at Hertfordshire.)

Re: vertex colors vs bitmap texture - cost/performance considerations?
re: vertex colors - you could use zbrush for that, yes. however, trying to alter colors or layering is a bit of a challenge in there IMO. but you can transfer the mesh with polypaint intact into other applications (e.g. i recall a script for max for doing that). personally i used a custom blender compile with a few extra…
