I will post tutorials for Blender and maybe some other programs in this thread. Please feel free to post questions, other posts, or even other tutorials in this thread. All the tutorials will be linked from the first post, and different parts of tutorials will be linked with each other, so your posts won't make anything…
Hi Quixel staff. A bit of background : I am familiar with various iterations of DDO as I have been testing the program for a few years now (Legacy and Suite). Most of my experience is with DDO Legacy, having used it on a few personal projects. I however never had the opportunity to use the more recent DDO releases to their…
Texture projection method The main method of creating texture using AI is to project the generated image onto the model from several angles. Important This technique does not exclude a person from working on textures. AI is a tool that speeds up the process, not completely automated. Also, when working on textures, work in…
I started with Max, self-taught. A friend showed me (only) the most basic concepts. 1. Made a box primitive; 2. Applied a preset Standard material. 3. Hit SHIFT+Q to render with Scanline. 4. Felt so proud for hours afterwards. XD That was some fifteen years ago . I stuck to Max and now I know how to do the things I need,…
Just gonna argue for argueings sake because in general I agree with Jesse. I just found it funny that this system is, apart from its intended use, the thing Orwell described. Now the thing is, there's a lot of people who're not "half smart" - if people were smart we could just do away with all laws and hope things work out…
So what would you have the 3D window do? Auto-load the lowpoly, and then have toggles to load and display the highpoly, or load and display the maps? That way you wouldn't have to wait for textures or geometry to load, the lowpoly files load pretty fast to display anyway. I just think it seems a bit of a waste to have the…
Ha weird... What I found is when binding bridge command to a shortcut from the edit poly group, you have to put ovveride toogle ON (it s a button next to Snaps toggle in max 2009). But weirdest thing is you have to click on the faces (for example) you want to bridge after you pressed the command.... Now if I am using a…
OK, I've written a better version. Click here to download it. Overview - Can replace any string (case-sensitive) in a path, filename or extension. - Works on every bitmap texture found in a scene (regardless of format). - Can convert paths to upper or lower case if necessary. - Tested on Max 8 and Max 2008. - Runs as a…
Green = Problem Solved Didn't want to be one of those guys who resists change. I usually try to embrace it. So I forced myself to move up to 2012. I had some issues with Nitrous, switching to Direct3d fixes most of my problems. But then Direct3d has its own?! Maybe some of you guys can let me know how many of these issues…
Hey :) Just some things i've noticed which make the usage of the forum not as enjoyable as it could be: 1. Why is the Edit-Button hidden as ONLY entry in a sub-menu? That's not intuitive nor helpful. Why not just put "Edit" instead of the Gear-Icon? 2. GIF-Links are NOT previewed when looking at a post BUT - and this is…
