Re: 3ds max boolean issue...
well, did u use proboolean or normal boolean (old)? either way its buggy, though proboolean is newer and a little less buggy. what i'd recommend to do (so you cont have to exentsivly weld) is to make a cut in the middle (vertically), delete the wrong half and mirror the other. then attach the halves together and weld the… -
Re: [MAXScript] Hiding faces on many objects under an Epoly mod
@PolyHertz Yes, like Juan said, I wanted to hide stuff in both modifiers with one script. I'm really curious though, since I've never ran across the need to do so making game art, at what times have you needed to hide verts? I can't think of a situation in which that'd be truly necessary, unless I was editing some really… -
Re: A second monitor
I don't know about hooking up a console to it, but 16:10 is really nice for art. That extra bit of vertical screen space is great for content creation apps. I've said it before but I'll say it again, if you're getting a 1920x1080 screen, it doesn't make much sense to get a 24" or 27" over a 22" or 23" as all you're paying… -
Re: WIP - Island Shrine Environment
More planes. I think you could probably optimize the ones you have right now too. For starters they're very square and I'm guessing you could move in the corner verts to round out and get rid of empty texturespace and overdraw. Come to think of it, you could do that with all your foliage planes. They're all extremely… -
Re: Sword Of A Thousand Truths- WIP- Critiques Please!
Ok, so I went with that. Sculpted a skull I was happy with, brought it into max (along with the low poly version), and started to optimize the low poly. Now i'm used to max 2011, and there seems to be something in 2012 that i'm unfamiliar with. Sometimes when I delete a vertice, the material goes all wacky, I managed to… -
Re: Monthly Noob Challenge 6
I had a similar issue with my previous project in UDK. Not exactly the same but I thought I'd share what I learned: http://www.polycount.com/forum/showthread.php?t=93063 basically on single meshes have uv seams running vertically. setting Indirect Normal Influence Boost to 0 (I think it's in global settings). My issue was… -
Re: Smal Smoothing Group Question. 3DS MAX
@DEElekgolo Thank you. But sadly when making a Collision model for Source Engine games to have concave collisions rather then the engine generating a custom model that convex on every outer vertice of the reference model. You have to have each model(element) on a separate smoothing group or else elements with the same… -
Re: M2 Browning
Hey I'm working on it again, I've taken off the ammo can opting for a more slender design where the ammo belt runs along the side of the gun flat. The problem being I can't get the spline to rotate to a 90 degree angle. So my questions is how can I rotate spline vertices manually? Since I'm at school atm, I can't post… -
Re: Storm Trooper Helmet.
@Auldbenkenobi his work is the images under the references @sarfrazio if you are asking from a 'didn't get job' perspective there could be a lot of factors In just the 3d aspect your helmet is more squared off than the reference. The sides are too vertical. Your base bump map is a little wonky and too evident It's a nice… -
Re: Trying to get better (C&C very appreciated!)
I used modo to help with the scale and have the basic shapes of the vehicules right and their drop shadows.. I knew that if I do it without 3D base I will be too tempted to cheat especialy with the position of the spheres. It was also to prevent the lines work on the spheres which seemed to look good on the sketch but…
