I am in 3dsmax and I cannot make my normals bake on my model for some reason, no matter what settings or anything I do to anything. The viewport preview shows it just fine, but the preview is completely unreliable and useless, and the texture of the bake itself is 100% solid black. If I make a new scene with new props the…
Every example scene I open in the editor seems to be slow. FPS 20-30 and in cinematic mode 10-20 FPS. I have a 16-core 4.3 GHZ CPU and an RTX 3090. I know I can lower the resolution, but even then performance is still not good. Does anyone know what could be the problem? I am using this free…
that's probably where i'd start - simply don't include the water There is/was a node for testing depth behind a surface that looks like it's specifically intended for this purpose on (probably) 5.2. I cant remember what it was called but if you search for depth in the materials nodes it should come up
Few years ago, I discovered 3D and started learning it. I
studied for 2 months and made some simple 3D models (I am self-taught). After

and I wasn’t able to make…
A few of the guys on #model_design and myself have decided that in honor of Team Fortress 2 making its way closer to being released (we hope...) that it's time to dust off the old floppies and start up a Team Fortress server to get some good ol' fraggin action in again. The server will NOT be up 24/7 and will only be up in…
Hi all, We've run into some issues with maxscript's event callback mechanism. It doesn't seem to have an event for after all items in the "queue" have been deleted or added. Backstory: we have a dotNet listview that displays objects, and some of the object's properties. When the user deletes or adds new items, the list…
Hello, Adding to the great info above : in its current state your head texture is already higher res than the one seen in the lowpoly TF2 Engineer demake. Therefore besides technical tricks like miroring or reusing UVs, you also need to practice painting textures at the pixel level, handling them in a impressionist manner.…
