Re: Medieval cellar - UDK
That's pretty easy; take a cylinder and delete half of it. Model it into a shape you want to get and then apply a symmetry modifier. Rotate the mirror by 45 degrees and do the same for each side. Viola :) I will add some ribs to it though, to cover the transitions. It's really hard to get seamless lighting on modular… -
Re: Beat-Up Aged Wood Pallet
Everywhere that you create a UV island (a.k.a. a seam) you should create a hard edge by selecting the polygons on the other side of the seam and setting them to a new smoothing group in the Edit Poly modifier. The padding for your islands should depend on your texture size. For example, on a 1k map, I usually use 16 pixels… -
Re: Struggling to bake local position to vertex color in MAXscript / MCP for blendshapes in Unity
@Shive thanks for sharing! I found the XYZ space operator did the best job of capturing the original form but it's still imperfect. Right now the model is coming out half of the size it should be in Unity. I believe it's because of the bounding box since sphere's dont have the same issue. Is there a way to modify the… -
Re: [3dsMax]Will I run into trouble for scaling up an object?
Alternative to scale on the node level and reset xform afterwards ( should not be a problem if you don't have a modifier stack on the model though ) , you also could train yourself to always scale using "Affect Object Only" ( see your hierarchy panel -> pivot tab ) for fast toggling you could use the following snipped… -
Re: Halo 4 Battle Rifle (WIP)
yeah i really can't see anything with those gifs. post some simple shots because i can't easily make a paintover :( also i've now learned to avoid edit poly modifiers whenever possible. opening them in different max versions are iffy at best. generally it will completely break everything and render your mesh useless. -
Re: splitting smoothing groups for normal maps
Eric when you get to step 6. "Use EdgeSmooth to set the hard edges" Where is EdgeSmooth located? I dont see anything under the Edge Selection tab that would be EdgeSmooth. And adding the Smooth modifier gave me a lot of errors. Also, thanks Nick for pointing out the drop down, this will save me SO much time! -
Re: Gun sword thing
What you do it make all the parts separate, sword, revolver, handle, etc... intersect them, delete faces that are inside other objects, UV them, then combine all the objects and soften the normals. That's how the in-game objects are made for the indie company I work at, and we use a modified version of the Unreal Engine,… -
Re: Need Low poly tricks and techniques.
Hmm, is kinda hard but i will try that horrible smoothing with a test bake, and then ill see, ok ok even with optimizer modifier and manual optimization i have around 9 and 10 tris, a small difference, optimization mod = 9600 tris and manual optimization = 10,700 tris, i will post an update in a few days, thanks for the… -
Re: Some Normal Map Baking issues
Did you do all the standard clicks? Like Reset XForm, reset pivot, add an Edit Poly Modifier, collapse it, etc? You shouldn't be getting any of those 'speckles' and yellowish bends unless you're using some fancy setting for the bake, but you already mentioned using Scan and 2.5 Stars, so I'm out of ideas :( -
Re: Texture Seam Gap Maya/Zbrush
http://www.mediafire.com/file/179ax0j987y1a3a/mask_leather.ZTL Let me know if that link doesn't work Should be a clean slate, deleted the uvmap, 7 sdiv. It projects fine in UVMaster. Try exporting and modifying the uv's in maya and reimport into zbrush. Zbrush doesn't like the new uvmap created in Maya. It's not the…
