Re: UT3 to show work
The biggest hitter with UT3 is not the amount of triangles that you have on the screen at one time, it's your material setup and texture size. While triangles do have a cost to render, materials(Usually) cost more due to complexity and texture size. Remember that for every material ID a mesh has on it, that mesh has to get… -
Re: Pinching after displacement
Yeah I would suggest just modeling those cobblestones in the traditional way. Here's a tutorial for the same kind of idea: http://wiki.polycount.com/wiki/TilingRockWallBeyer -
Re: Bugs! We got 'em!
The search button icon is currently broken. It's happening because the code in the input value is escaped. To fix it just replace it with either the correct code or the "" unicode character. From: <input type="submit" id="Form_Go" name="" aria-label="Search" class="Button" value=""> To: <input type="submit"… -

Re: Help with prop modeling (poly + texture budgets & etc + baking explosion)
1. for props its really about how much you can fake the eye using optimal tri count and normal map. So it may also vary on the importance of the prop. and maybe what viewable angles of the props. Instead of exploding try assigning material ids in 3ds max. Ex: high poly piece 1 wth mat id 1, lowpoly piece 1 with mat id… -
Re: Trim sheet question and texturing it
Ok I might be right not to sure yet, the id map just seems weird so i knocked up a quick test and I've coloured my high poly pieces and named the materials. The low poly is just a plane also with a plane cage. In substance painter i added the high poly and baked out the colour id's on material colour but it just seems… -
Re: Critique my failed art test
hey man srry to hear about the outcome of this. the blade is very bad ass, id say the blade does have a bit of a pillowy form to it, but being that that is the only thing that doesn't look right id say experience is the big issue too. the arm is a bit soft, to me, esp compared to the blade, but if as you say its secondary… -
Re: AO + transparency + MR
If it is for baking with RTT , Max9 has got a nice exclude option in the Ambient Occlusion(MR) element...in prior max versions one way to exclude objects is to assign them a specific G-buffer ID, than in the AO shader there is an option to include/exclude objects by this ID(To exclude objects enter the ID nubmer with a… -
Re: Clean Baking Method
Hi! Break your smoothing groups and uv islands there.Baking with mat IDs would also help.I dont know if there is an option for this in Maya or not but this means that you assign different materials so your subtools, and to your lowpoly emelents too in the same way, and when you bake it, the renderer will render based on… -
Re: Scanned data or hand painted...?
Thanks for the link. Some of the stuff there is what I've been following, such as Manjiana's tutorial on baking a hair cap. :) Thanks to that, I have an ID and Root map. The only thing I don't have, which looks to be essential, is the flow map. I'm a little unsure about that one though. Regarding the masks/ids - I'm a…
