Re: Normal issues exporting from maya and importing to UDK
hmm okey, I feel you. But this is the results I got: In the pic below we have from left the smoothed low-poly mesh with stitched UV-islands and to the right the hard edge low-poly exported from max. The not so nice looking shading of the smoothed-version is quite apparent, although I like some edges, the light just looks… -
Re: The Agony of learning without a mentor
Congratulations on the role but, please leave the drama on your new set. Agony is getting kicked cleanly in the bollocks, from behind, with your legs shoulder width apart. Learning CG should be exciting. A passion. Something that you completely lose track of time whilst doing. Just be thankful that there are a staggering… -
Re: Adding a static custom mesh in Unreal ed!
Wow, just opened up the ed to have a go at this, the ed has got a LOT more complex since UT2004. :/ What ImSlightlyBored said, it you're in max , export as ASE - select mesh - File> export - select ASE format. Once imported via Generic Browser , you should be able to right-click a surface to add it. Make sure to create a… -
Re: What is a Material ID?
2 models have different materials, max ask you how you wanna combine it? There is a list of sub-materials assigned to the polygons. Here's how it works: http://docs.autodesk.com/3DSMAX/15/ENU/3ds-Max-Help/index.html?url=files/GUID-D8EDE0E1-9694-4844-B58B-A8CB0EBD473B.htm,topicNumber=d30e606373 [ame]… -
Re: The Maya Cylinder Normal Map Problem
Hey H, unfortunately it seems like tweaking the cage in maya doesn't do much (it can even cause big problems when you simply display it to check its thickness - it's all broken), however, the different results that Kodde posted can be achieved in 3DSMax by positionning the cage verts where you want them (along the length… -
Re: Bad Texture Distortion - Help would be appreciated
Sukotto: I was pretty sure this is where this discussion was headed. I'm not trying to produce an animated asset for gaming, just a fully modeled character with a full PBR set of custom textures to render in Marmoset. It's a really complex model, similar to something used in Cinematics. Retropologizing some of the more… -
Re: No Maya LT 2018?
Does this mean: Still no Unreal ART for Maya LT? Im very interesting in learnig Weapon Rigging&Animating and so i´m looking for an Maya alternative. Maya LT should do the trick. But is the Unreal ART Toolkit so much better then the Maya LT Tools for Rigging and Animating? Or should i stay in 3DSMAX for Rigging and… -
Re: Detail Maps..?
Detail maps are usually a high-frequency tiling pattern which is overlaid onto a main texture. Gears of War used this a lot for adding close-up detail when players were up against walls. It can help disguise low-res textures. In 3dsmax you could probably set them up using a "blend" or "mix" material, with a tiling version… -
Re: 3dsmax5 vertexcolor tools release
nope that's the sole reason I made the vertexcopy macroscript for. I cannot get a material to work that uses valpha/illum on render time. About the viewport, I dont think the viewport mesh has more than one set of uvw coords. But I havent invested much time into the viewport rendering code. Mostly because I will have an… -
Re: best./easiest 3D program?
I definetly prefer 3dsmax, but that's because I've been using it for 6 year now. Gmax is also a good starter tool. I personally started off 3D by learning Lightwave, which is actually quite easy to learn. You'll need to customize the UI right away though, since there is a plethora of useless commands there (unless you're…
