Re: [MAYA] How can I reduce the ridiculous number of tris my hard surface models take up?
I haven't heard the term "floaters" before. You're just talking about having several separate meshes (in your case, rectangles) combined or in one group with each other as opposed to having all vertices connected with another vertices somewhere on the mesh, right? I just tested this with a shape similar to the one you… -
Re: How to create these LASER BEAMS? (plasma cutter "light rays")
@Farfarer: i thought they've used "inside game engine" lights as the light source. What you have said sounds...complicated, at least for me :) I am no expert but those rays(laser beams) looks and feel very realistic. And beside the look, i was also surprised of the fast response(of the graphic card) to display those rays… -
Re: Strange normal map seam.
Yes, the reason is that max allows non-visible edges to be flipped any way you want, So when you run symmetry the center seam looks like this: \\// But to other applications this means "flip it however they want" which normally defaults to one direction, like this: //// When the tri-stripping doesn't match, you get seams.… -
Re: Sketchbook: Jonathan Kuo
:-) Glad they helped. I really love the armor design you did. Though I imagine in game you would need to rig up the corset piece to flex, but you have textured it as metal (which does not normally bend. :-P) Might have been cool to make it segmented like motorcycle back armor. My current favorite ani shader is the one Kurt… -
Re: [CryArtTest] Snapghost - [WIP] Environnement asset
@BlvdNights Hi, i fixed this in another iteration but i didn't posted a new screenshot. Good advice anyway thx. @Lightweight Hi, the bell on the left his the HP, the main shape has been created with Zbrush and the little clover with 3DSMax. The technic is simple. I will be really brief but if you need it i can create a… -
Re: Bind Elements in 3ds Max
Yea, basically, if your using an editable poly, 3dsMax will not let you perform actions that will cause non-manifold geometry. So, most likely, the reason it isn't working is because you have something in your model that the program doesn't like. Typically it could be: Open edges. (like everybody else said.) Just click a… -
Re: [Resource] Company of Heroes 2 Meshes for all factions
By popular demand I'm making the modified model export script available for download. Click here to get it To make this work you'll need to put the enclosed files in your scripts folder under your 3dsMax install directory. This is nearly identical to the original script released/developed by Corsix and modified by… -
Re: Wild Firemonk appears...
Wow a well written post where someone used the phrase "For all intents and purposes" and didn't say "for all intensive purposes", so I'm happy you can string a sentence together, seriously. If you learn as well as you can articulate then I think you will do fine =) Your goals are right on the money. Don't get discouraged,… -
Re: terrain polycount in cryengine 2
You can disable the terrain in the environment tab (if I recall correctly) or via console cvars. After that, you can import a 3d mesh or use voxel tool (primitive organic modelling tool in Sandbox2) to create your terrain. The good thing about voxels is that you can use the same terrain layers as you use for "normal"… -
Re: Looking for stable and cheap 3D polygon modeling software.
Started with Maya, pursued with 3DSMAX and XSI, learnt Blender last. I hated it at first because I thought it was too different from the other one. Then I gave it the same dedication as I gave to the others.. Result: I'm faster at modelling with it than the others. It's all personal really. I discovered I'm much faster…
