Re: GONDI DesertTower (many large images)
Hello there, So after my total sweep in the T2D contest last month, I thought I would take that success and parlay it into unbridled work towards fixing my temple environment, seen here. I tried to fix the floating geometry, pixel density issues, rope / railing redundancy, hard slicing lines and the other great suggestions… -
Re: verticles driving me nutts.. help :x
Keep in mind, that 3d studio max doesn't allow non-manifold geometry. Basically it seems you were trying to shove a polygon inside a box by connecting the edges that already connect 2 faces to a third face, which 3dsmax will not allow as that is non-manifold. Depending on what you are trying to do (not sure why you needed… -
Re: Remember these days?
oh man i76 was really cool good old 3ds DOS, the one thing I kept from using it in the past, is the "selection color" (very bright blue), couldnt stand the "white" selection in 3dsmax. But back then "animation->make preview" really made sense, due to lack of viewport rendering speed. Though I used 3ds2 for quite some time,… -
Re: 3ds max procedural texturing
Personally I say pony up its worth it. That's not 100% procedural, he uses photos and hand painting also. He uses a lot of custom materials that aren't included in max from a few different places which may or may not be free. The standard shaders in 3dsmax are pretty easy use and kind of lame... but you can pull off some… -
Re: What brought you to polycount / #md
I was in #3dsmax on EFnet and accidentally joined #md back when there were like 6 people in it. I got wind of q2pmp and posted a model for review. It was a redux of Tanner Owen's first Protoss Zealot model. I think that was 8-9 years ago now. I started in #md as Epsilon, then changes nick to Spartan, and then PeterK once I… -
Re: Head Modeling... not progressing... any tips?
If you are using 3dsmax you could also try to use the Paint Deformation to block out your head. I would also suggest looking at other modelled heads and how the artist did them.You should look at real heads and study them,reference is WIN.You might think:" Hey i know how a head looks", but that may not be true more or… -
Re: Max 2010 mat editor glitch with directx shaders
One more thing to check - you are all up to date with service packs and so on. I just tried fiddling with my OS text size and it's gone tiny, but the 3dsmax UI is still the same old size, not sure at all what is happening! For ghetto 1.1 workaround: If you type: showproperties $.material into the maxscript listener, you'll… -
Re: Max or Maya?
As much as I like some of the unwrapping tools in Max, I still hate that it makes me go through silly modifiers and stuff to access them, instead of just being an extra sub-component type like vertices/edges/faces as it should be. That alone often makes me switch to maya when unwrapping (but in the end, I do most of the… -
Re: The Cutter (New pics)
Some solutions: 1) There is a problem in the OBJ importer with n-sided polygons atm(3.10.4 beta 1, got it fixed in the final version but is not still available). Try to triangulate/quadrangulate the model before to export. Also sure you apply freeze transformations in Maya and Reset-XForm+collapse in 3DSMAX. 2) Try to… -
Re: Recomended ways to texture a normal mapped model?
Ben Cloward: I hope you don't mind, I'm no programmer, so I just hacked around with your existing Normal Map/Specular .fx file to make it use opacity-mapping too, since I need that for something I'm currently working on, and your shader displays normal/spec in the viewport so much better than the standard 3dsmax shaders!…
