Re: Sci-Fi Junkyard scene WIP
sltrOlsson - I use additional masks for those. Mostly every Diffuse has 2 more RGB textures which contain a set of b&w images in them (one b&w image per color channel= up to 6 images in 2 textures). This way I also put Spec in them as one of the channels since Spec can be grayscale for these materials. P.S.: there might be… -
Re: [Unity] rock pack WIP
For limited levels scenes, perhaps with contained environment I guess its ok . In Uncharted 3 though most of the work actually used a lot of reused textures and wise tilting on the uvmapping , and of course herolike pieces that take most of the scenery attention . But mine was not a critique , its just that I see a lot of… -
Re: [Unity] Sci-fir corridor environment
Similar to what Jack Ryan stated, I think the space between the pillars looks long due to the camera lens being a wider angle than the concept. If you lower the camera angle width, you'll get more of the contained, claustrophobic feel that is missing from your environment. Are you using lightmaps? Use them to darken the… -

Re: Fun with renders
Yeah, global illumination is usually less bright. A trick I learned from the 3dsmax artists using Vray was to make 1 light and turn it off, and assign the GI plugin to that light only. So that the GI plugin would be controlling the light. Your scene doesn't contain any shadows or reflections which i think is what GI is… -
Re: "Original" ideas and variants of them
What you've hit on is that of the space containing all ideas only a subset of those make good stories or entertainment. OF the ideas that make good entertainment, only a subset of those are interactive, and of the interactive ones only a smaller set are applicable to a video game mechanic.. and of those only some are any… -
Re: Importing a single object from a scene into Maya..
Select just the object you want and export this object to a new scene that contains nothing else. Open your scene that you want this single object in and import the scene you have created. You will notice that the import in Maya opens a browse box effectively only letting you import one Maya scene at a time, this is pretty… -
Re: Brand-new PC power problem
Right, the guy I bought it from is willing to replace the entire unit, at no expense to us, which is the good news. However, given that it was working yesterday, we actually installed software and transferred some personal files containing some rather sensitive information onto the drive. Is there a way, other than… -
Re: Smooth Groups in Maya
Smoothing Groups are one of those functions Max has been hanging on to since the 80's. Reason may be, the .3DS format does not contain proper vertex normal information. Instead it adds a bit of smoothing group data so that other apps can try to import them. Makes it annoying as an exchange format. Just as reliable as… -
Re: Normal Mapping utility for 3DS MAX 7 and 8!
[ QUOTE ] yeah, i understand the point and that it is an advantage, i just don't think you can use it as a basis to completly putdown another engine. but what you said is true. [/ QUOTE ] [ QUOTE ] I have no opinion but to be fair; you were the one putting down their engine when we were talking about the normal map tool.…
