Re: File browsing application? tags and descriptions
picasa is from google, its very nasty at indexing private data and slipping through lots of privacy issues. It most likely comes with aggressive auto update services as well that run with each windows start. So on a very personal side I probably wouldn't install it on a personal computer because I don't trust the software… -
Mudbox diffuse/normal matching problem
Hi guys! I'm currently experimenting with my workflow in mudbox. What I'm aiming to do is this, start a sculpt in mudbox without having to create the original mesh in 3ds Max -> define the shape -> sculpt the high poly and paint the texture-> export a lower level mesh and UV map it -> bake the normals with xnormal ->… -
xnormal issue
So I created a simple cube in maya with default uvs, then duplicated it and beveled the crap out of it. ive then averaged the normals on both meshes and exported them as objs (also tried with that sMB format). Now if i use maya transfer maps, i get a perfect normal map, works great. But if i use xnormal i get 2 seam lines… -
Re: Getting into Character design
You can see this workflow as frustrating or one that gives you ultimate flexibility. 3D app, zB and SP are a terrific combination. I'm no expert, but will put some general stuff that may help. Feel free to ask questions and I will do my best to answer them. If you are using zB at all fist thing is to setup GoZ tween it and… -
Re: The Bi-Monthly ENVIRONMENT ART Challenge | January - February (64)
I started using painter right before this project and I've had to learn it too. I built my wood textures from scratch for this project so I could learn how to do it. You can rotate your noises by selecting the fill layer, a transformation handle box thing pops ups on the 2D texture. You can use that to rotate the noise… -
Re: Modo v.s. Maya
The trial version I used is limited to 50k, I've heard that's going up to 65k in the 2015 version, but I'm not 100% sure. I can't speak for character artists but low poly props and environment assets rarely even approach this. For high poly meshes, there are a few workarounds: - You can smooth your mesh in another program,… -
Re: It is good to have Mac for 3D
Well, you kinda answered you own question here, when you already decided something, why ask anyway? It's clear from the very distant nature of the sentence structure, coupled with the above sentence that this 'friend' doesn't exist, it's you starting a thread with a buffer zone. I'm going to assume you're asking if you… -
Re: Legalization by 2010?
Are you serious? As it stands, in order to become an alcoholic, you have to drink large amounts of alcohol over a long period of time. Chances are, you've never met the pot equivalent because: a) Only a small amount of the population takes pot, and b) Only a small amount of pot users take enough to qualify as being the… -
Re: Kart Demo - Unity Engine Online Streaming
Okay so I've been busy working on another iPad project for myself, so the Kart Demo got neglected for a few days. I came back with a vengeance and smoothed out the physics on the player vehicle and the AI now path smoother (they also have turning wheels now!). Still need a new set of Waypoints for the blue AI. I've also… -
Re: Why to choose Faces or Tris for modeling? Pros vs Cons?
Booo hiss... (throws popcorn) that image is full of bad info. Not only does it offer bad info about the use of ngons, but it doesn't even define ngon correctly. That makes artists look stupid. That is a pentagon not a ngon, unless you're retarded and can't recognize a 5 sided polygon. There are specific names for polygons…
