Hi everyone, First, thanks for this forum. I'm fairly new and shy, and it seems like a great place for 3D, lots of cool projects :) I'd like some feedback on my latest project. My first idea was to experiment with PCG (Procedural Content Generation) and possibly turn it into a full scene. This is where I've ended up so…
I went looking for the forums recently, as now UT2004 got re-released , I couldn't find any other way to do some playermodels than Milkshape. I think I bought it twice over the years as I kept forgetting the code / losing the email I regged on. Must've been 2002/2004 I last used it. Would be cool to see the project picked…
So I am doing some rigging in 3ds max 2017 and I'm noticing a particularly annoying occurrence. When using the Bone Tools rollout menu from the Animation panel I can go along working just fine. After a while however I notice that the "Bone Edit Mode" button becomes grayed out and unclickable. Closing and opening the…
Ok, so after GDC I decided it was time to get my shit together and get a page up so I could, you know, get a job, and not have to bow my head in shame every time I met someone. I figured August was a good deadline. My desktop now has these little colonies of files growing in various places. None of which look like a web…
So with vertex normals, when you try to shade a simple cone, you have to use a lot of geometry or a normal map. Because if you try to use just 1 vertex on top, the back side will not shade correctly. And if you use quads with a flat cylinder top, you get these hard smoothing edges from the tris. I know the simplest…
I'm thrilled to hear that my method worked out great for you. Would you be willing to provide me with a small cutout of the model that contains pores and whatnot in order for me to test out the baking options myself and see what works and what doesn't? Unfortunatelly the only thing I was able to come up with is a geometry…
cmon dude, shaderfx is nodebasex, just screw around with the nodes until a descent result comes out, everyone could do that you dont even have to understand linear algebra (if youre not using the custim code node) http://www.lumonix.biz/shaderfx.html download, install, just do it !
Does anyone found anything truly new and useful there ? I see Splatter v2 allows dense details with tiny scale but still does same aliased depth combine and bad alpha for something like tiny twigs or grass blades. I am still using old fx-map nodes instead . More controllable and easier to modify. Anything other new and…
Alright everybody, it's here again! (Crept up on me, for sure!) Share your inktobers with everyone here. Let's make this another great year! Inktober 01 - got some warming up to do..
I'm not quite sure what happened with the code I had originally posted here. Maybe something changed in the way Polycount displays code.. I honestly don't know why it got so messed up as I remember it showing correctly when I posted it. Here is a revised version. This should work correctly: // Orthogonal Camera Toggle…
