3ds Max 2015 decided to be a jerk
So I was using 3ds max 2015 student version and it randomly decided to freak out. After freezing up and ctrl+alt+deleting to end 3ds max I restarted it. Rather than resetting all the hotkeys to default, it seems like max just picked a random button on the keyboard for all of the hotkeys. for example: ctrl+s was set to soft… -
Re: Max to zbrush export. Smoothing
if it's just scratches and small imperfections you don't need Zbrush , could be done in texture painting soft if it's some bigger damage or design variations you could dynamesh whatever millions you have just imported. It does sometimes make you split your model in parts but often you can rely on "project" button and… -
Re: Kord Heavy Machine Gun
I think contextually, you could atleast throw a ground plane on here (i say contextually, because you have an engaged tripod, spent casings on the floor, and an open box of belt-ammo - looks a bit strange with the common floating in the void render style). It'll give you the "mini-environment" desire you previously had,… -
Re: Scaling complete Smart Material
There is no way really . And in SD too. Moreover when you scale procedural patterns , noises, slope blur and such they could easily be looking not real anymore. The magic is always somewhere in between pixels really. So the only way is generate few outputs with different random seed and then stitch together. You could make… -
Re: Maya LT
So what's the catch with Maya 2015 LT for an indie game developer ? Currently I am using Blender for all of my needs, but I am getting weary of all these little issues associated with Blender. I am not familiar with Maya at all, but for all I know iD Software used it for Doom 3 (and I am using same game engine) and the… -
Re: Unlimited Detail
Skinned and animated voxels? [ame] http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tl6PE_n6zTk[/ame] On a side note, does this sound plausible? Since voxels has 'built in' lod levels, cant you use a much blockier/lower lod version of an object for physics and collision? So instead of the current visible 64 voxels/mm3 they can use a non… -
Re: Monthly Community Noob Challenge February 2014 (16)
First time ever doing a proper environment, and i'm already a bit late to the game, made a tiny notch of progress today trying to understand the best way to get some decent curvature in that Dome, and the best I could come up with is this... The shape in the background is the original Cylinder I shaped it from, I applied… -
Re: Zbrush focal angle and faces
Yeah I have to agree with Pior. However if you don't have any options such as above the best thing to do is try to get it looking proper in both orthographic and perspective views inside of ZBrush. You can get used to ZBrush's wonky perspective but it's not recommended in my opinion. Sometimes I like to throw my level 1 or… -
Re: Portrait Art Crit
Hello winf, Every line you add to a face adds age. Young faces tend to have really soft transitions between individual planes. Another good trick to convey young age is giving them larger eyes. Flip the canvas horizontally often to check the construction of the face. The blonde girl's teeth seem to be attached on the lips… -
Re: [UDK] Spaceship Interior
sipher: Thanks dude! Radiocity: Well, since this is all hard surface stuff, I just use Maya to create the highpoly. It is done by hand as you say, but I do a lot of cloning and reuse of detail pieces to make the process faster. (For example, with the wires I create 3 or 4 of them, then clone those and use soft selection to…
