Re: Max 2010 Modeling tools - any early impressions?
So far I like the graphite tools in max 2010. I couldn't really stomach Zbrush's retopo "pipeline" (which might change come August with Zbrush 4). The thing I've noticed is that Max 2010 has a bit of a hitch when spinning the model around when you aren't in subobject mode. Anyone else notice that? B -
Re: Favorite memories or experiences working in the industry
Being banned from making space cakes for office parties because of the way it ended the last party so abruptly :) Watching coders go to pubs and then getting shot down while attempting to talk to the opposite sex. Colleague who used to dress in full fighter pilot outfit for work. Seeing my name in the credits in a game for… -
Re: Which is the best for extracting normals?
I would like to say, that the best possible normals in UDK come from max with Qualified Mode on and using FBX with Tangents and Binormals exported(for static objects). Thus making max the winner in my book for baking normals for udk. (unless maya has a similar qualified normals system of course) -
Re: Cleanup tool for Max? (Similar to Maya)
Oh ok, cool. I've used the xView mode, but not the Quadrify. I'll have to test it out. Yeah, I'm coming from mainly Maya, so it's interesting how some workflows changes. I'll definitely check out some scripts in Max that could be helpful to try out. Thanks guys. -
Re: Looking for stable and cheap 3D polygon modeling software.
Modo is a bit strange when it comes to performance, especially with Advanced GL viewport mode. For instance, I used Modo before with both a GTX 660 and 650 (both were desktop versions and had 2gb vram). The 660 had no problems, but the 650 could barely handle even the simplest of scenes. -
Re: Maya 2016 and ShaderFX issues
GlowingPotato> Glad that helped you :) Ignore my previous question... Forgot that the Texture Map node was a group as any. If you enable advanced mode and look for yourself you can see that the "ConvertToLinearSpace" = x^2.2. At least in Maya 2015 which I have at home. I've got 2016 at work. -
Re: Newbie questions for zBrush 2.0
Asthane : I more or less agree. It is true that some workflows are pretty much insane especially when it comes to poly editing. Yet, if you'd drop the 2.5 engine/core you wouldn't have projection master anymore... amongst other things. Let us see the next version tho! -
Re: Malik
I love the sense of weight, it's totally in line with this new mode of thinking I'm coming around to that I call "chunky tech". I'm considering the benfit of making parts of my model outright thicker in general. I have some crits, but they're nitpick at best. Nice post, nice work. -
sky luminance in a post process shader
Hello I'm working on an optoelectric night vision post process shader, its pretty cool and stuff but it has some ugly hacks none of the atmosphere nodes in the material editor that I've found give me all the elements of the sky so I'm masking and boosting the basecolor luminance based on the overall sky luminance and it…
