Skinning to things other than bones?
Here's a thing I'm not really sure how to look up on Google... I'm skinning stuff in 3DSMax and I've always found bones a little fiddly (grabbing a bone to move it around, doesn't work because it's stuck to the end of the previous one and it then rotates around), I've seen people do setups where they skin to a bone… -

Problem with floaters
Hello! I have a small problem with floaters. I decided to screw around with them / baking in general. I tried out Zbrush first and that worked fine. But I'm not the best at Zbrush so I decided to check out the floater method that I saw in a tutorial. (ChamferZone mech) But I'm getting some weird results when I bake them.… -
Normal Map Issue (Details appear 'slanted')
Hi Im having some Normal map issues that has been happening to me for quite sometime now. This is regarding baking normal maps form high poly to low poly. Basically my issue is that most of the time when i bake my normals from high to low poly , some of the details will appear 'slanted'. For example, a screw that's suppose… -
Normal bake comes out completely black every time
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… -
Re: UV optimisation??
you don't have to straighten manually. you only straighten the outsides manually and then relax the insides. dependent on the software you are using you have various possibilities at hand. One thing i LOVE about 3dsmax is, that i can weld UVs even tho the verts are not connected in the mesh. What sounds like a bug, gives… -
Re: Classic Lost in Space, "Jupiter - 2"
Sounds like a learning opportunity. You're going to have a heck of a terrible time trying to juice the most out of 3Dsmax's out of the box renderer. If you want to continue struggling with it, you can do that. But easier, more powerful solutions lie elsewhere. You're probably over thinking how easy it is to add lights and… -
Re: M82a1 Sniper rifle
Some time ago i modeled this same sniper rifle :) I have to say that your model is very nice, clean and very accurate in the details, but your UV have problems...First of all there is too much not used space, due probably to the auto-pack function of 3dsmax. Plus as i read, i agree with the importance of 1:1 scale...in a… -
Re: AK-47
Sounds like marmoset isn't worth using then. Gloss is a pretty basic requirement. or you could screengrab it in maya or 3dsmax, using a directx shader. Or if you must, render it properly with scanline/mental ray. Chicky Dip, paint your scratches, (or blend photos) to a seperate layer. Once they look good, dull the… -
Re: UV Texture Vs Poly Paint
mudbox has p-tex which is like giving each polygon its own unique texture normally a few pixels. So you can paint on low poly or mid poly without having to have an insane amount of verts. In 3dsmax I use Viewport Canvas, this is like bodypaint where you can UV paint on a 3D model in the viewport, it has rudimentary…
