Re: YANBI - Yet Another NOrmal Baking Issue
I don't know much about baking normals in Max, but it seems like your mesh is getting cut off. Probably because your search envelope is too small. The reason xNormal is not giving you that issue is because the default search distance is long enough to cover it all. But xNormal is not that good at baking hard surface… -
Re: Where is the ID Substance Effect option?
Yes, by default effects "add" information to the mask, adding white in the black areas. In your case, you want to apply the effect only on your masked color (which is white in the mask), so you need to switch the "Previous Blend" option of your effect to Multiply. THis is a little confusing and we will have a better system… -
Re: How to set best occlusion in xnormal?
i have found the object scale changes the AO in xnormal alot, if your map looks washed out, try a much smaller scale on your high and low, so by default it is 1, so if it looks washed out try .01, if your AO looks too dark try a scale higher, like 10 or 100. -
Re: Emissive lighting for Lightmass is REAAAALLY slow...?
Falloff on most of the objects was the default 2, I've gotten some speed improvements by jacking that up in powers of 2 (8 min, some as high as 32 or 64). Yes casting shadows. Where is the explicit control of mesh emissive radius? I'm not finding it under the mesh properties in the Lightmass section where mesh emissive is… -
Re: Confused about TB3 baking > Unreal workflow
For Unreal you want to set your tangent space to Mikkt. You can set this in Edit-> Preferences -> Default tangent space. You should also Flip Y in the normal map output options (you may need to flip Y in the preview material too). Make sure to triangulate your mesh before baking as well. -
Re: Multi Layer PSD & Multiple Texture Sets not working
Hi Peter, looks like you caught an interesting bug here, we'll make sure that each texture set is saved to a unique PSD for the next update. As far as paths go, by default it will save the PSD next to your .tbscene file, and if you haven't saved the .tbscene file yet it should prompt for you to select the directory. -
Re: Textools V4.10 and the Render to Texture
fixed issue (I think so) with RTT not working anymore after you used either the AO or some of the map render types from TexTools. (I think the issue was that I set the ...bakeEnabled = false; after the bake, and that option is not availbel in the default 3dsmax RTT window). This is an error that the older version had.… -
Re: Need help: bones skin animation weapon in 3ds max for udk

Re: How to paint flow/anisotropic/comb maps in Photoshop.
See then Im confused because I was trying the flowmap maker lotek? created as well as the flowmap plugin for 3ds another member made. The blue channels by default on those were black except totally white where you painted. I was also asking an artist from Volition and they mentioned the blue channel should be 0 (black). -
Re: 3DS Max - Viewport geometry flickering/disappearing
Do you have adaptive degradation toggled on? It's assigned to the O key by default. Not sure whether it's the same as the "don't degrade" option you mentioned. Max's help topic on it: http://docs.autodesk.com/3DSMAX/16/ENU/3ds-Max-Help/index.html?url=files/GUID-486136D3-3BCC-4A95-823B-3E7F9F75C2C4.htm,topicNumber=d30e11672
