Hey all :D Idea : I love the yucky stuff but mostly frogs, toad ... ESPECIALLY swamps! I would like to make a small scene taking place in a swamp belonging to the "King of Toads" I'm planning to do some swamp themed pebbles, rock, vegetation of all kinds, and make the throne in a Lily flower ! So for now this is my idea,… -
Black spazzles in AO (max)
Hi, i recently run across a problem of black spazzles/dots popping up in my AO bakes in 3dsmax at random, and i can't get them away. Sometimes it can be really extreme I'm rendering from a high poly with scanline lighttracer, super sampler, and cage of course. The above case was just 2 planes (or rather 2 cylinder lids)… -
How have you been Challenging yourselves this year?
In order to get to know a few of you better, I'd be interested in hearing how you folks have been challenging yourselves with your Art so far this year? What steps have you been making towards your goals For me,this year was all about attempting to animate & choreograph a multi-character fight scene. First starting off… -
Re: 3d max 2017 help
First I would suggest deciding which game engine you're exporting to. They each have different constraints on material setups, and how to get content out of your DCC app (3ds Max). Then learn from their help docs. Unreal… -
Re: substance painter high poly bake issue
try these things; - first fix your topology a bit. - try triangulating inside of 3DSMax (good practice anyway so you know results will be the same no matter the engine/software) - check to see if low poly and high poly match perfectly. Is naming absolutely correct ? - are the HP and LP lined up correctly ? - test bakes… -
Re: VRAY rendering to textures,
The bug I had was I didn't reset the tangents from the mesh I sent from Maya. After some baking tests with VRay, I have no good normals map. The resulting map has lot of noises, and the normals are bads (Gradients with tresholds). I am surprised that a rendering engine like Vray isn't able to do Baking things. I only bake… -
Re: Max 2012 doesnt remember quad menus.
You need to save it to the default place max saves the UI files as maxstart.ui or whatever its called, thats normally in the 3dsmax folder/ui I think. If you have it saved/loaded somewhere else it will load the maxstart.ui file every time and because it was never overwritten you end up with the old default. It should… -
Re: sketchfab
so far ive tried .obj and .fbx which didnt work, and also the sketchfab 3ds max plugin, which inexplicably erased my UVs, generated its own and baked the textures i had applied on the model in to a single texture sheet. I felt violated and am still slightly shaken by it. anyways im using 3ds max. edit: scratch that, I… -
Re: Station / Laboratory 3D Environment
Hey wi_2 thanks for the comment! Finally I ended up the whole week busy with school stuff, and next week I will have more, but I've planed a better schedule to be able to keep up with both school and this project. I’m finishing the texture on the newest piece so meanwhile I will just post a prop I did at school: I've… -
Re: Sculpt first or last?
I started off box modelling, and when zbrush was new I used to use it for detailing. Zbrush has changed a lot and it is far quicker to concept in it and also do quite a bit of modelling too. In general I dont see how building something and deciding where the best place for geometry is without having a template to work on…
