Re: Marmoset Toolbag: User input for next major revision
I have to second a particle system eventually. The advantages to having a minis scene are great. For example: Let us say that I was presenting an arena net art test, and I wanted to have a fire effect, it would add a decent amount of atmosphere mixed with smoke coming out the back. Animated texture things, I could make the… -
Re: Modo guides?
Well, I tried Blender, but it flickered a LOT for me. I have W8-64x, 6 GB RAM, AMD A8 processor, and an AMD HD 7770M. I would be getting these black shadowy things travelling constantly across the whole screen. Put me off. The thing I like about Max is, I feel totally in control. Like, when doing the Extrude, there's that… -
Re: Sketchbook: thomasp
@Justo coming from xnormal i've been using TB3 for bakes for the last few months. i haven't looked around much at alternatives but the combination of great viewport preview and fast bakes with the ability to paint the cage and have an almost live preview for the end result i find hard to beat. i don't know what 32 bit… -
Re: Boring bathroom study [CE3]
@RMeeks I'm also thinking to add mouldings and create some used towels to add some interest to the wall. Here's some small update: Edited the water volume material and added a drip gloss map to simulate wet edges done by the water: Soften the edges of the tub and tweaked the specular map a bit. Also added a ground/tub seam… -
Re: Decals in Max
The way I've gotten a decal to work without flickering is to use a composite map slot (not a composite material type), and a secondary UV Chanel for the decal. Its a pain in the ass but works. These two tutorials cover it greater detail. I also think there is an official Autodesk promo video floating around, probably up on… -
Re: [Windows 7] System keeps 'microstuttering'
I hope that solves your issue. I also have a 4870 and Win7x64 and I get occasional stutters. It's really only noticeable when I'm going through the file system of a drive that I haven't accessed for a while, although sometimes FF locks up for several seconds as well (buut I have like 30 memory hogging addons). I've never… -
Re: UDK Environment + Character C&C needed
First of all i want to thank you all for the great feedback. :thumbup: Environment update: [ame] http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rdMjoNPyH58[/ame] I improved the lighting and mood. Fixed the dust particles a little bit and made the fire light flicker. To do list: 1. Fix the unwrap of the first house. Believe it or not i… -
Re: Help me convince my brother
Ok well he abandoned me. Guess its for the best. I asked him while he was installing parts how he knew what he was doing and he said he trial-and-error'ed it. Instills a lot of confidence. Anyways it looks like everything is hooked up fine. I power up and it works, fans all running and stuff. I put in my install dvd and… -
Re: Monthly Environment Art Challenge - July & August 2018 (55)
@jewski-bot Loving the progress! Getting a pretty good sense of the material this thing is made of based on the hand-painted detail. One thing I'd encourage is painting in the damaged bits as a lighter color, to show the unpainted material underneath. That's what I'm seeing in the concept art. Progress on the screens! I… -
Re: 1 shader displaying random textures per instance
all you need is 4 Material instances, and use the method Parkar described. Create a Master material that has been parameterized - create your 4 MICs and assign the tv texture to each - for extra flair add some more parameters to change animation per tv - scrolling images, static, flickering, extra params for normal/spec…
