Re: A solution to bad baking in 3ds max; xnormal?
Xnormal and 3dsmax can bake almost identical normal maps. The issue here is probably a lack of understanding what is causing the error. Like Joao said pictures will help. Here are the images we could use to help you best 2D Normal Map from max 3D Model with no texture, just smoothing groups. 3D Model with ONLY the Normal… -
Re: CryEngine is Finally Back ! :D
I wouldn't be surprised if that's the case. I replicated Jed's test in Max: My one is on the left. As you can see, it worked perfectly! I used the same highpoly, but made a new lowpoly, using the same UV layout and one unified smoothing group. I then rebaked it in xnormal with all default settings, except for the y channel… -
Re: Portfolio review (respawnrt)
I really like your simple layout! the work is really good too. specially like that alien shotgun! you might like to add a link to your Resume somewhere though. The only crit have are for those tags. They look like they have some sort of lens flare or something in them.. also the fonts don't match. I also don't like the… -
Re: xNormal strange bake.
Edge padding is necessary, and its not a "bad artifact", you can also never have too much edge padding. Edge padding stretches the border colors of the map past the uv layout(so it won't show up on your model) so that when your texture mip maps down to a smaller resolution, it doesn't blend into the background. This… -
Re: Tiling Confusion (Bake geometry to non-square plane)
You know what, after I posted that I kind of went 'Hmmph' and did it like a square and it worked. I really don't know what I was trying to do. I've been tired, though, so I don't think my brain has been functioning properly. I kept trying to fit pattens that were physically impossible to tile into that shape. Lost my damn… -
Re: [Portfolio] SnowGhost - level Design
Ghost, it'd be much better off to start by narrowing down the level design work on a much simpler layout. I clicked on the link, and see walls of text left right and center, I find it quite hard to to read what it is you're really trying to put up there. One suggestion though, the info/software skills and all that can just… -
Re: Sonic the Hedgehog 2 Sky chase level in UDK
when you start getting into the materials Rim light is a technique for adding a soft white light to it, similar to the team fortress 2 look, this is also a common technique of many cartoony style games look at the sonic thread I showed you , you can see it being done in there as well. I will explain//show the technique… -

Re: What is, and How does this work in 3DS Max
even if you do find a script to make a decnet UV layout automatically, it will still be a bitch to texture, since it wont make sense where the script places the cuts and islands. and for the texturing it;s self, yes you can bake AO, Cavity and curveature maps and a bunch of other crap to help with texturing, but you stil… -
Re: The proper working chair
The chair itself isn't as important as the posture you use while working. Ergonomics is about the whole layout of your desk... height from floor to seat, from desk to arms, from screen to eyes, etc. Get that right, and your back will thank you. A standing desk has its own problems, or so I've heard. I've read that standing…
