Re: I want my Polycount!
If you JUST go to the boards, you shouldn't get anything gamespy at all. If you go to polycount.com and then try to get to the boards, you will be blocked. they are probably using WebSense (just a guess) to block content and that application usually blocks game related sites by default. If you bookmark and use this:… -
Re: Mudbox, random questions thread.
Trying to get my first normal map working.. I can't seem to get a good quality normal map out of Mudbox, are there any configurations i should pay attention to in particular? I got it all set to 16bit, ray to 20, the rest is pretty much default. I tried setting up 2 lights in the scene, didn't really make a difference. -
Re: [Maxscript] Get the selection order of selected vertices?
for the record, Maya doesn't order your component selection either. I think there are a few hacks, but by default it'll group them by ID because it's smaller. Traversing through a bunch of individual selected components would make the script slower than necessary in most cases. Just as in max, you have to manually do it if… -
Re: Creating Low Poly From High Poly in Max
just use the xRay mode (alt + x) for the highpoly and a 60+% self illuminating material with a slight opacity for the low poly and then work in faces+wire mode. By default I agree you often cant see what matters at all because it all gets clipped away, but with the xRay mode (in max 2009 you have to disable properties by… -
Re: Transparent viewport objects with ATI card in Max
Kind of a late reply, but this one goes out to everyone that might encounter the same problem. I had the same problem, and it turned out that because I had changed the 3d settings of my graphic's card in the catalyst center it created this mess. When I click on reset to default values, everything worked again! One… -
Re: Very odd Problem with displacement map
Thanks John for replying. Well I thought about the color bleed, but this is generated through mudbox 2009 and I can't find a setting that allow me to change default bleed range. It's very odd that I've posted this problems few times on different forums and nobody could give me an definite answer. As if I am the only person… -
Re: Max Reimport to zbrush 3
Well.. I have spent a day on this.. literally. Importing and exporting. Guruwave? ADDS triangles when the poly is not quad shaped (but still 4 vertex). So when exporting, using the default one in Max 9 has provided me with better results. I still had/am starting over. But now I have a clue. Very frustrating this isn't a… -
Re: Xmas time = New 24" monitor!
the 2408wfp is what i have and i do like it. it is quite bright and the default color settings are too intense for graphics work imo but other than that ... picture is good allround and it has loads of connectivity and the pivot function. not sure how other screens are in this regard. it is not one of the fast and shite TN… -
Re: I *just* watched epi 2 and 3 of Star Wars and...
Cartoon network's Clonewars microseries/minimovie got it right IMO. Lucas should have defaulted to Genndy Tartakovsky as writer/director. If any of you haven't seen the 2 disks of animated goodness, do pick them up for at least a rent. I immagine you'll find yourself screaming "WHY WASN'T THAT IN THE LIVE ACTION FILMS!"… -
Re: How do you model? - Time lapse references
Yeah it's just using a darker theme. Otherwise it looks the same as it's been for awhile. I keep my button pages running down the side of the screen as well, as opposed to the default horizontal layout. The transparent panels = mac though I think? I don't recall being able to do that on my pc. I've been using it only on my…
