Re: merging rigged characters in max 8
it's not just this. There are several great enhancements, but some of the things are SO buggy it is actaully a disgrace that it got let out the door. It may just be that the testers didn't test certain aspects, but it is certainly a tragic release in many areas. I've worked with max for years, and I know it can be quirky,… -
Re: Light, Shadow, and Specularity
I see what you're doing. Carrying things over from cinema/photography into game applications. I can see a softbox shader being written, and I don't see why there isn't one already. Turning lighting artist into Gaffers. That's one thing I like about photography: if the models skin was a little too oily (and I didn't have… -
Re: A Medieval Demo Reel
Looks pretty good, Benji. Well presented overall, but you may want to cut some of the intro to get right to it. Couple quick things: The tree that is centered and rotated around is more like a background tree than a centerpiece. Id expect this tree to be large, thick, with wild roots and crazy limbs (lots more detail)… -
Re: on animating...
You can just add bones (or dummies, boxes, teapots) to a biped rig by using the link tool. Make a hierarchy like any normal bone chain and link the root of echt chain to the shoulders/neck/upper spine link, whatever works for your rig. Obviously this works with skin, but with physique as well. You can't add any actualy… -
Re: [Maya 2009] Rendering + Melscript
Hah, yeah, welcome to the fun of this! I've had the same issues, what I ended up doing was just letting it output the render to the current project's default folder (usually /images/ if I remember right), then using the sys command to copy the image to the correct location afterward. Seems to work fine, although it feels… -
Re: Out of memory when rendering in 3ds Max?
Well I had been trying to render out a 2048x2048 amb occ map, 2048x2048 normal map, and 2048x2048 diffuse map, and it was giving me the out of memory issue. Rendering just a 512x512 amb occ makes it render just fine...except I'm rendering a 512x512 map instead of one that's useful :| Isn't there a memory paging thing you… -
Re: a jack thompson email with kotaku
I'm confused accualy. Why would he reply to such emails in the firstplace? It doesn't make sense. If they are real he is absolutely retarted. It's just amazing how many people want to point the finger at so many other things than parents not paying any attention to their kids anymore. Sure, if you dont teach your child… -
Re: The Willows Whisper - Organic environment (personal project)
Good stuff but i find the images very noisy. There is so much stuff and the shadows create a lot of noise so the eyes have no resting place and get distracted from the focus point. I would use some depth of field to blur out what is behind and before the focus point. As mentioned before, the ditch geometry is very flat and… -
Re: "AAA" launches
Yeah, this is the root cause in many cases. Personally, I don't get why consumers just accept it and carry on. If you bought a book that had a load of pages missing, you'd take it back. You'd never accept a car without brakes. If you ordered a pepperoni pizza, you wouldn't accept opening the box to find a plain pizza, then… -
Re: Victorian portrait
Hello back guys a lot of people have been asking me about how i did the hair. So there are the maps i used. They are quite simples, only 4 different types of hair. 1 and 4 are more opaque and are supposed to be for the layers below so you don't see the head too much. 2 and 3 are the top layers of hair and the small…
