Re: 3.04 Hotfix - Another Skew Issue
Hey Gabriel, Sorry for the problems with this. There is a bug with the latest hotfix, the skew data is loaded from older files but isn't initialized until you've selected the Low object. This should only happen for old scenes, updating the file by selecting each Low object in the scene and saving it with the latest version… -
Re: Environment-WIP , C and C
I think, before worrying about lighting an entire environment, you need to step back a bit. Your modeling and texture are not up to par to current standards, they feel like early-90s stuff. I suggest you pick 1 object, for instance the fruit stall, and focus on only that object, and then later start worrying about scenes.… -
Re: Maya UV selection issue
Agreed this is a real pain sometimes when doing your UV's. But its natural behavior in face mode in Maya's UV editor. In the UV editor,with faces selected,go CTRL /Right Click --|>to UV they will reappear.Then you can move them into place/adjust them. (For multiple objects:In the Main viewport(Perspective) in object mode… -
Re: How do you Rig and Animate a flat surface eyeball in 3DSMax for Unity?
You can use Point or Dummy helper objects as bones in a skin modifier. (Actually you can use anything.) When you export to FBX for Unity just make sure to check "Convert Deforming Geometry to Bones". You can also move bones freely if you turn off their "Bone" setting. Go to Animation > Bone Tools > Object Properties and… -
Re: Class Project - Quality Assurance
A:4 B:6 C:5 D:4 exp: 7 yrs none of them seem to have their measurements right and have taken their own creative liberties on objects that are easily seen and created. Rating them rather low on the fact that it doesn't seem any of them tried to find a constant object on there to get a reference of measurement. like using a… -
Re: ShaderFX TGA PBL shader
throttlekitty> Thanks for the kind words :) Regarding that texture reloading script I don't think that will work with ShaderFX. That script is most likely based on finding the texture File nodes associated with your selected objects. ShaderFX does not use the same type of File nodes in the same manner. However as… -
Re: It's a spark plug
Baking with a cage can cause waviness as you've mentioned on cylindrical objects when baked with a cage. I get this issue a lot. so doing multiple bakes, 1 with the cage and 1 without (for the cylindrical objects) is a good idea if your getting this issue. Without a cage you could try Setting Max frontal ray distance to 45… -
Re: What should I study to improve (the artistic side of) my texturing ability?
From a scientific perspective, lighting and texturing are separate. Texture, as I was taught in school and from various books, is merely the surface property of an object. So how bumpy, smoothe,rough it is etc. But the texture itself doesn't give you color. That comes from rays of light that bounce around in a scene, hit… -
Re: Maya Extract behaving oddly
Going to provide a few more screenshots and show the outliner as I still can't get this to work. These are the faces I've selected prior to the extract (this is the high_poly_well object): Basically all the way around, nothing on the inside or underneath is selected. Once I perform the extract, this is what happens: Even… -
Re: Normal map warping at curved edges
http://polycount.com/discussion/81154/understanding-averaged-normals-and-ray-projection-who-put-waviness-in-my-normal-map That thread should explain what's going on. One option is to bake an object space normal with a different low poly that has a few more supporting edge loops. Then use something like Handplane, or…
