Re: iMac
asthane: no, motionbuilder is a very different beast, targeted at motion capture editing. pretty much useless without one of the supported allround packages. has nothing in common with maya, very different look&feel and featureset. alias bought the developer a few years ago, that's all. for pure keyframe animation, there's… -
Re: Need help with Import Export for Zbrush3.1 and Max
Exploding issue is quite popular over the pipeline between ZB and any of 3d apps AFAIK. Especially, with dealing with ZB 3.1 seems to be getting tougher to work around. I have a situation same as yours, and here are a couple things you may try as starter. (1) When you re-import UVed mesh from max to ZB (3.1), "switch… -
Re: High poly missile tank WIP and portfolio
well, as a thought, most of the hatches and things sticking out on tanks are maintenance hatches. especially around the are maintenance hatches are contentrated. on the turret, its mostly storage bins, attached everywhere. the leclerc, for example, has the whole rear turret top, and a few bins on the rear, as well as the… -
Re: model(s) to crit!
Your UV layout has the pieces too close together, if you where to mip-map that texture the pieces would bleed into each other. Always leave some padding and color that padding the same as the material it surrounds. Also don't be afraid to detach end caps, on cylinders, it can create smoothing problems if you don't. It also… -
Re: Normal Map Errors in Max
I've found it's always been a difference in how Max renders the normals and then displays them. Potential problems you might be having: 1. Don't use the cage. At all. Using the cage alters the tangents of the normals, but doesn't bake them there. So it sees them one way based on your cage, and then displays them back in… -
Re: The decline of civility?
I've seen Per, conte, and others, make far more obnoxious comments than I or odium did in the thread in question, and I doubt they'd argue that. But they get a pass, because why? They're popular, liked, talented? Oh damn well, so be it, its not necessarily a bad thing that that's the case, but just be aware how… -
Re: I feel stuck in a rut, looking for direction

The bulk of the project is for myself, but of the elements that I would be doing for it in 3d would be for my education in learning modular environment design, a little bit of level design ish,… -
Re: [Portfolio] Vincent Mayeur / Student Environment Artist
Thanks everybody, that's some great answers, and good advices (again) :) movento: Thank you, about the tank, I did it earlier this year, and the primary target was the PSP (that's also why its polycount is rather low). And when I adapted the model for the nextgen I underestimated the use of a specular map, which I regret… -

Re: tga to 16 colors?
photoshop needs 2 colours for some reason, so converting to 16 colours ussually makes it 14, plus black and white. paintshop pro puts it to 16, but re arranges the palette ...so if its only using 12 colours, with forced palette, i think it goes a little wrong. the easiest package i found was dpaint on pc (dos) , animpro…
