3ds Max 2012 boarder around RTT
Recently upgraded to 3ds Max 2012, and I'm getting a boarder or padding around my Render to Texture (black, empty space) instead of filling out the boarders (rendering a tiling texture). Anybody know how to disable this? -
Animation Feedback - Human vs. Wyvern
Howdy folks, It's been awhile since I last posted onto Polycount, though with the new Animation section I thought it'd be great to start posting regularly :) I am currently working on a project with a Hand Animated Wyvern and a Motion Captured Human fighting. Currently I am at a "First Draft" stage, and there is quite a… -
Re: Moving to Seattle (looking for a roommate)
The 520 bridge can rot in hell; or at least the people that get into fender benders on it and turn what should be a 10 minute drive into a 2 hour stand still in Satan's ass crack. -
Re: Can I get into the Industry without knowing any other 3D package than Blender
TL;DR My active core toolset: ZBrush (for organic sculpting, as I'm a character artist) Blender (my main 3D modeling app for HP hard surface (subsurface modeling) and LP optimization, retopology and UVs) Marmoset Toolbag 3 (for baking & rendering) Substance Painter (for texturing [obviously, lol] and sometimes for Iray… -
Re: Questions about getting into the industry, college, freelancing, please help.
ZacD thanks a lot for the reply. I've been self teaching and looking at tuts and all that since 13 I think that was when I started modeling, but only about last year did I actually decide that this is what I wanted to do with my life and begin modeling 24/7. Here's an audi I rendered today, it was my first project after… -
Re: Baking normals in Modo: what could be the cause of those artifacts?
Maybe I'm missing some obvious step that you'll see if I list my actions. - File -> Reset - File -> Import, choose an FBX file with existing UVs and normals (validated them as properly imported with Game vertex tool and UV view in Modo) - Drag the Mesh entity (thing with a cube icon) out of Items "folder" Modo creates for… -
Re: SOLVED: Normal Map/AO Question
You should be checking every map that DDO works with to ensure that it's consistent with the style you need. Edge padding shouldn't be the issue - it's just another set of dark and light pixels to DDO, as far as it's concerned. I actually prefer to add padding myself with the xNormal Photoshop plugin, since I tend to… -
Re: Seeking Feedback Demo Reel
Hey Angel! Cool stuff, and congrats on your first post for critique! Jumping in, I'm going to start by focusing on the reel presentation. A great presentation can go a long way effectively making your work pop, while a poor presentation can sink even the best animation. With this in mind, here are a couple of suggestions… -
Re: M&P-R8
thanks everyone :) s6: right now i only really prefer to stick with maya because of how fast it feels. being able to quick swipe or flick marking menus for tools is great, and when i go back to max i find the quad menus incredibly primitive feeling. tools-wise, its pretty much all the same. theres a few things here n there… -
Re: Drawing Order for Transparent Materials
Depth peeling is not only a "shader" effect but requires special passes in the engine, as you have to render all transparent objects many times. I have no idea about how much Unity would expose. And depth peeling is still not exactly post processing friendly, and things like deferred shading, depth of field all would need…
