Re: Do you think polycount a dying platform?
In my and few of my pals experience such exposure unfortunately locks you within gamedev industry. Galleries and theaters look at gamedev and broadly digital art experience as something instantly devaluing you as an artist for some uncertain reason . Well, it was like that 15 years ago at least . Maybe something have… -
MathView - algebraic surfaces editor with VR support.
Greetings ! I would like to show you my latest project: algebraic surfaces editor that can work as a great source of unusual geometry for your projects. MathView 1.04 - algebraic surfaces editor with VR support. How to use: • Combine 6 materials and 18 textures for desired visual effect. • Click twice on the color map icon… -
Cleaning up Maya shading networks / duplicating without the `pasted__` mess, merging duplicate file
Two Maya shading-graph chores I kept scripting, curious how others approach them: * Duplicating a shading network with clean names. Maya's duplicate/paste leaves pasted__ prefixes and number suffixes; I ended up walking the upstream graph and duplicating with unique, clean names instead. * Merging duplicate file-texture… -
Problems with 3ds Max and displacement
Hello everybody! I've just signed up, and I want to ask you for some help with an issue that occured me when I try to apply the displacement map or the vector displacement in 3ds Max. I had to model a character, so I started with the basic human model of Mudbox. I chose to create Venom, from Spiderman. At the beginning, I… -
Mudbox to Maya and back
I'm having the same tired old problem I used to have, both with Mud and Zbrush. I'm trying to export a level 0 model from Mud to rig it and pose it in Maya, but when I export the posed obj from maya and try to import as layer in mud, there's always a vertex mismatch. It's Maya's fucking stupid obj import that screws up the… -
Re: Zbrush vs Mudbox
[ QUOTE ] i've yet to export an obj to mudbox from max successfully(even going via silo causes problems). Its important things like this that should just "work" in a new app hoping to trump current tech [/ QUOTE ] You're right...Autodesk should update its outdated OBJ export script so that it's able to work with newer… -
Re: Maya is killing me
ivars: no, Ive been using soften, didnt know there was a difference between the two though. Ive never seen this locked normals thing before, doing research now:) gcmp: well, Ive always used .obj and Ive been taking the model in between marmoset, xnormal, and maya. but the problem is not with the objs, they work perfectly.… -
Quake1 engine, Unreal97 / UT99 map loading (help needed) (opensource) (C engine,but C++ unr exists)
Model_brush.c is the main file where new map and model formats are parsed: https://sourceforge.net/p/chaosesqueanthology/code-t3d_attempt_engine/ci/master/tree/model_brush.c An example one is void Mod_OBJ_Load on line 7562. Which loads the triangle data for an obj file (loads the vertex and then the face data). It would be… -
Re: Q4 Patriot
Amazing work! How did you get all those sharp edges in zbrush, especially the boots? You can use the full highpoly(million plus) for normal map generation, it just takes more work. I haven't tried the xNormal program yet, but it looks promising for normal map generation. Don't know if it can handle the high poly count.… -
Re: Normal map problem - Missplaced UVs/Cage (3Ds Max and xNormal)
To bring a cage into xnormal with out the exporter you just export the cage alone as an obj (by its self - so you should have 3 separate obj's - highpoly, lowpoly and the cage). Then right click the low poly model and 'browse for external cage' and pick out cage obj (a dialog will come up that cage must match the low…
