Re: Fire effects? tips?
Are you looking to capture fire effects to animated planes, or use particle fx or a mix of the two? What apps plug-ins and engine are you planning on using? If you're using 3dsmax, I think FumeFX is a must. However making it real time ready isn't all that easy. [ame] http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IWrugRcodOk[/ame]… -
Re: I need some serious help with my lighting :/
Haha Thank you... Now comes my next dilema!! Does anyone know how to make a proper sky dome? I've been searching around (this site, google, 3dtotal) and only found broken links and some tutorials that required me to download 3dsmax 2008 trial just to copy one file over to my 2009 O_O I appreciate all of your guy's help -
Re: Textures - How do you organise them all?
Naming conventions instead of folders.

Re: Sketchbook: z0ltan
@allmighty_thunder - thanks! @Oranghe - flats for the little UDK scene? If so I didn't model or texture any of that, was just me dinking around with the meshes in the packages that come with UDK. Little bit on an update. Did some trim stuff on the pillars. Added a few small details and finished up the floor. A wild 3dsmax… -

Re: Architectural detail problem
I had no trouble finding those for you, hope they come in handy. (some are in Zbrush and others in 3dsmax, look around appropriate channels also).

Re: Preserve UV seams when Sub-Dividing...
As far as I know, the default behaviour in 3dsMax is that UV borders are always "pinned" and don't get smoothed by turbosmooth. Only by using opensubd or turbosmooth pro do they actually get influenced at all. If you want to texture highpoly meshes, you should consider using the double turbosmooth method or opensubd.… -
Re: 3Ds Max - Viewport camera settings?
This is one of the really old weird things in 3dsmax that really needs to be redone... You assign groups of polys to a smoothing group. Where you want a hard edge the polys on either side need to be assigned to a separate smoothing group. It's important to know that smoothing groups will create breaks in the mesh just like… -
Re: How to achieve 3D bevel effect for text
Nadano, always try the simplest method first. http://www.fontspace.com/fz/animales-fantastic or mby http://http//www.fontspace.com/hackfonts/fontastic-beast IDK, google it to find the best one. Now you can do the text directly in 3dsmax, and do some poly modeling on it. Personally I would try and to get a heightmap working…
