From Blendshapes to Bones
My art pipeline is currently set up using FaceGen, which gives me a number of blendshapes. However, we didn't have time to get blendshapes implemented into our engine. However, I still would like to include facial animation, so I am looking to do it via bones, for which the engine is set up. Is there any way to have… -

Re: How to check if legal software was used ?
To be fair there's only a handful of programs that a really worth buying/pirating, in the end we're fortunate enough as artists to have access to quite a wide range of free and open-source resources. If someone used a pirated copy of 3DSMax and they used a non-legit copy of Photoshop for example, what's stopping them from… -
Re: Ambient Occlusion Confusion
I agree with Cheese, mental ray is a pig and it messes up more than it gets right when baking. In max it also includes the target when calcuating AO, and it incorrectly assigns black as the background color for the normal map, even when the correct color is set in the "normal map background color" option. It also issues… -
Re: Unpopular opinions -- get it out of your chest
- That if you're a character artist you cannot like environment art... or vice versa. Art is art. Cool art is great no matter what pipeline it is in. - That realistic means EITHER 'Photo-realistic' or 'realism'. They are not mutually inclusive, nor mutually exclusive.... meaning that yes they can occur simultaneously...… -

Re: Does 3ds Max have an attribute, numerical, parameter, or size editor?
@somedoggy Thank you for the quick and detailed response. This definitely echos a bunch of old posts I found (Specifically the part about avoiding scaling at the object level), but it's nice to see it all laid out together in one spot and up to date. Thanks! I am however curious why so many people warn against scaling at… -
Re: Facial motion capture hardware and software - what are you experiences?
Faceshift: I've used faceshift with 3dsmax, I like it and was able to get some good reliable results from it. But being a max studio it isn't as nice as using it in Maya with the plug-in which is one of the main reasons I don't currently use it, there isn't a plug-in for max, you have to use the stand alone app to record… -
Re: Cooljay's Progress Thread
hey there cooljay, nice to see you back :) youve progressed, thats a fact. but i wont lie, theres still SO MUCH to be done. i think one of your "mistakes" - it isnt a mistake, many people do it, including myself - is try hi poly modelling in blender. i do it, but for hard surfaces or small objects. if i had to make a hi… -
Re: Holes on my object
If its just for rendering, don't bother with opacity maps they'll just require specific light setups to render the shadows correctly otherwise the whole plane casts a shadow. They actually take longer to render then normal geometry, especially if you have them casting shadows, and a few of them are stacked in front of one…
