Re: Non-compensated scale on a child joint makes its rotate wrong if parent joint has a non-uniform scal
@EarthQuake Fails too in 4.01 Are your team planning on solving this bug one day ? I'm also having a "single vertex with incorrect skinweights" issue (seems it goes back to the root). Maya, 3dsmax, blender, akeytsu, FBX review, sketchfab, unreal....all of them does not have the issue. Happens since 3.04 (that's why I'm… -
Re: How to merge a Sculpt with Rocksurface the right way
To get this straight. You would make 2 different meshes. One for the whole rock and one with the head plus a bit of wall which will be both baked separetly? "...Position the head where you want it, retopo the wall including a separate-able section for the head." With position you mean not to merge it with the rock in… -
Re: emissive glow/bloom in max
Video post has a glow option, its not going to be realtime in the viewport but it will cause certain materials to glow. They won't emit light until you turn on advanced lighting like Radiosity or Light Tracer, something that bounces light. Each method has their disadvantages... The 3dsmax help files have a neon tutorial… -
Re: xNormal baking problem
Some ideas: - Sure all the LP's face are UV mapped and not overlapped. - Render an object-space normal map to see if it's a problem with the tangent space computation. - Don't use 3dsmax's max2obj exporter, it's very buggy. Use Guruware's one or SBM. - Render a "wireframe and ray fails map" to see if rays are failing or… -
Re: Beginner Questions on Animation in Maya
I've animated in 3DSMax before so I know the basics of keyframe animation. I'm mainly a programmer and am trying to delve into the art side of game development to work on my project. I have heard Maya is best for animation, though I don't know what in particular puts it above 3DS Max. One of my main reasons for using Maya… -
Re: Best 3D software to choose in the industry?
Either Maya or 3Dsmax should be fine I think. I'm sure I've seen a lot of people arguing either one has better/worse modelling/animation/rigging but it really is more preference. I'd also add Zbrush onto that list if they have a student license available. Though I'd only start tackling that once you're comfortable with… -
Re: ZBrush Subdivision creation / Normal maps
* When using zspheres to retopologize, don't rely on the adaptive skin's density to get the full resolution for the detail. Keep it low enough that you wind up with the base that you want (the silhouette matters most, not the surface detail) . After the skin is converted into an actual polymesh object you can subdivide it… -
Re: Spending your time outside of work
^QFT awesome post, I'm glad other people feel the same way. What torch says & Or you all can keep tooling It up whatever you enjoy most. Edit: I know some people don't have a choice, I don't mean you. I took a 6 mile walk today awesome weather, so glad I did it felt awesome when I got back. Your post reminded me of the new… -
Re: Trying to model a tiling rope mat.
I'm not sure what software you are using but Paul Neale has a great method using a displacement modifier and a few gradient maps in 3dsmax. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cd42LLTBl5g You can also use a spline, sweep and a profile shape. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QV7fzd1sckE Also Substance Painter has a pretty good… -
Re: Anyone know how to replicate this material in Mental Ray?
Yeah I work in Maya. You can easily do the same thing in 3DsMax since the MIA material are the same (it called Arch and Design in 3Ds I guess). You can find IOR (index of reflection) parameter in the BRDF tab, and FG (final gathering) in your render settings. Also, yeah sure, you can tweak the material ;) ! ps: actually,…
