Is there some general things new people struggle with? The same type of stuff you see questions about here and elsewhere online? Baking issues, general workflow questions, lack of software understanding, so on? Or is it more related to lack of game development experience? Struggles to get work done in time. Issues…
It sounds like you want a shader that blends based on height and slope. If you stretch the terrain up too high and you get ugly distorted textures you will want to go with a shader that has "triplanar". Max is pretty limited on this front. There is a small chance you could piece something together using the data channel…
Joopson, if I may ask (and sorry for derailing the thread), could you elaborate on how you feel that the modeling methods in Max and Maya are different ? I keep hearing people mentioning it, but I do not quite understand that statement. Of course if we are talking about overall object operations (like, the very unique and…
"Thanks for all the suggestions, everyone. I am going to brush up on low poly techniques, as that seems to be the main message you're all sending. I hope the tools have evolved from last time I did this." TBH it's really not much about any new tool or technique, but rather about one's bagage and experience when it comes to…
Something like this? This is a mesh transformed into curves then filled and passed through a triangle tessellation group, all with Blender's geonodes. Corners are preserved in the conversion to curves by being marked with a Boolean x Point attribute so they get temporarily split. You may need to tweak the Corner Angle…
Hello everyone, apologies upfront as I lack the programming knowledge to understand the problem I am having. I have been trying to utilize Thinkbox Sequoia Meshing, the program comes with 3ds integration maxscript for loading Seq. .xmesh into 3ds. Code on GITHUB: They have provided a .ms file which I have loaded and run.…
Hi guys, I had this issue for ages. You minimize a window in max - No text visible anymore. As soon as I had several windows open, it was a an anoying lottery. I don't know if this is the best solution, but I found a workaround on Autodesk forum yesterday. I just want to share it with you, as I found so many useful stuff…
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…
This is great so far! Love the character. I think it would really help to hand this to a 3d modeler, and see what questions they ask about it. Creating a 3D game character from 2d concepts requires a lot of thought and effort, and hearing their questions will help you understand what's missing from your work, which they…
