i just tested the new compile briefly on max5.1, and copying the dll you supplied this time to max's root made the difference. unwrapping results seem very comparable to blender's indeed. also, a working relax would be more than handy. i dislike the strange and - as usual - rather inconvenient procedure in max8, too.…
Looking a lot better. Cool idea too. Maybe try thinking about what else you might be able to add in there to help tie in the sacrificial ceremony theme a bit more. Things like animal bones (or carcases, slightly morbid - but it is a mockup of a horror game, and the blood came from somewhere right? ), a book of sorcery or…
I use relax with cylinder and planar projection, all the time. My main method of unwrapping involves planar mapping the entire object, creating seams, breaking and then relaxing, or just selecting faces and hitting quick peel which skips to the end result of the relax function. Relax will have trouble unfolding long flat…
Haha! Quite possibly. I don't think i ever read the manuals. Diablo II was more rich in story than the first game definitely and had great cinematics (probably look dated now). I remember really looking forward to the end of each act and the opportunity to see a bit more of the story unfold. It definitely wasn't…
No, I actually agree with you. I was making the point that the fact that they could have made the level from the comfortable distance of LA, without even having to visit the cathedral could mean that there was even *less* incentive to seek permission. I think you're right. I'm confident that as far as the law goes, Sony…
Hello ! Today I'm trying to learn a little bit more the software. For the moment I know how to model, how to unfold an UV and various odds and ends. But I do not know any of the materials system, so I was testing this last night, and I can not load a texture and apply its alpha. To manage the transparency of it and see it…
The road so far: ^ Started with this idea of an ~ 60s inspired terminal, based on an old idea of mine. At that time I was not sure about the style direction. ^ Later iterations made the bread box more slicker, and gave it antennas. The mechanism for the screen made it rather bulky, when unfolded. ^ This was the last…
1. The subject matter is confusing and weird. Find a badass concept from someone else and try to make that. Creating a cool jet chair thing requires a lot shape exploration and conceptual skill, which you probably don't have yet. Focusing on someone else concept will let you see where your skills really need improvement…
Well I think one just needs a textured 3d model and Pepakura to unfold it in a paper friendly manner. Yet I don't think this program allows for cone and cylinder cuts like on the model Rebel posted. But It wouldn't be a big deal to built such parts straight in a 2d app... http://www.tamasoft.co.jp/pepakura-en/ Funny how…
Thank you guys for the feedback and thank you riceart for the concept piece. Yeah I just have the UV's unfolded right now, I need to re-position them. @BradMyers82 I see what you mean with all the noise. I was using a bark photo as a back plate to help with the texture. I've never played WOW but from the concept art and…
