[Maya] Particle Emitter and perfect loop cycle?
Hi!! I am testing particles into Maya 2009. Usually creating particles directly into a game engine or some very targeted software to particle. (TimeLineFX, Illusion...) Anyway, I am trying to find a way to make the particles animation loop into Maya. Then I could render 20 frames pictures using it as a sprite sheet. As… -
Re: 3ds max 2021 Physical materials supported in Unity? (fbx export)
Exporting FBX from 3ds Max to import into Unity... only diffuse texture is supported. https://docs.unity3d.com/Manual/HOWTO-ImportObjectsFrom3DApps.html#Max The way I worked when I was making Unity games was to setup a very simple material in Max, just to do the UVs properly. But I did all the PBR material setup inside… -
Re: Ratchet and Clank - Environment 3D scene Fan Art
Hi Guys ! It's been a long time since the last time I show you what I've done with the scene. So as i said the last time, and with your comments, I increased the amount of tris on certains meshes like the type of plant plots and on the base of the scene. I made the foliage, and began to place it, I think i'll have to… -
Re: roosterMAP's art thread
Finally done with the damn ship. The first image is a render of the hoverCraft in UDK. The lighting is all real time with various post fx and a few sexy flairs. The model is 40k (next gen polycount) with one 4k and two 2k textures. (the stairs do not factor into the specs. It's only there for scale.) Generally, I would… -
Re: Advice Request - animator --> QA - 1 Step back for 2 steps forward?
ya, thanks guys. I feel you're all right. It was just a thought, but that's why I asked. See if my judgement was clouded or not. Stephen, thanks for the links. Applied to rockstar months ago with no reply, and that ghost fx is for 1 week only. I would need a FT job. Praetus, Ya, There are many other things I want to learn… -
Re: Better for 3d character modeling? 3ds or Maya?
I had that same question too until I started learning other things for class. I found that Maya is better with character, especially in rigging. Max I had to fight with rigging but... to me it is better and more intuitive for environment. As far as particle systems/dynamics are concerned (if you wanted to specialize in… -
Re: Answered: Suite freezes trying to create custom material during 3DO icon generation
Thank you for the amazingly fast response!!! Wow!! I should note this does NOT happen during my own smart material generation, only custom materials generation (which leaves me NO way to import my own normal maps into the program for materials). Does it matter that the albedo is a bmp and the normal is a png? 3DO simple… -
Re: Maya 2016 and ShaderFX issues
Hey! Thanks for replying. So, it turns out that the problem might be the Graphics card. At work we use AMD R9 280 and when i plug a normal map, the object become white. But at home, i use an Nvidia card. And the same isn't happening. Using windows 7 at work and 8.1 at home And the issue with the Color management... this is… -
Re: What is working freelance like?
I totally agree with this. I worked freelance for arch vis/training sim type 3D work for little over a year, and I honestly got the feeling of being very cooped up often. I personally am very much more inspired while working in a studio environment, nothing better than accomplishing things as a team effort IMO and growing… -
Re: Question about balancing vert/tri-counts vs. texture size...
Whenever I explain to people that verts aren't a key point of optimization anymore I always reference what Kevin Johnstone said about Gears of War. He spent a whole lot of time optimizing millions of cumulative verts out of Gears of War and he only got a smidgen of a milisecond back in render time. Conversely, optimize one…
