Re: 3DS Max save/load animation problem
Try loading the XAF file back on the same model after you've deleted all the keyframes. If that works, it's just a mapping problem. You'll need to click "Edit Mapping" when loading the XAF on your target model. Then follow Step 8 on from this page:… -
Re: Animating a Snake in 3ds Max - Spline IK
If you search CG Society you'll find a bug from ~2005 where they explain a bug in Spline IK. It's still around. The workaround is 1. Create a duplicate dummy bone chain. 2. Apply Spline IK to the duplicate. 3. Position constrain your orginal bone chain to each duplicate. 4. LookAt constrain each orginal bone to the child… -
Re: Reproject details on new Topology in Z Brush.
Yeah, when I'm doing that, I make sure that the new mesh you're projecting onto has about the same amount of polygons/subd levels as the original so the shapes/detail carry over well. I also tend to project one Sub D level at a time, working my way up from the lower to the higher, (on both the source mesh and the target).… -
Re: beat up ice cream van. looking for feedback
I would first orient all of the shells to make sure there not rotated at odd angles, then straighten the uv's I circled, you may have to do this manually. Then switch the method over to legacy ( just a personal preference of mine apart from 3d-coat layout) and turn prescale to world and shell spacing to your desired target… -
Re: Autodesk Beast (a.k.a. PLEASE be in the next UDK)
MoH used Beast for the Singleplayer and I guess they bought the integration of Dice (or at least some of the know-how), given that they integrated Beast for Mirrors Edge already as Lightmass wasn't available back then. I know baking has some great advantages, especially considering mobile and web target platforms, but I've… -
Re: Bitmap > Normal Generators list & reviews
I have a question regarding all those generator but i don't really know how to express it. We all know that the generated normal is perfect for a flat plane, or well oriented and undistorted uvs. Some of them can even perform rotation. But would it be possible to generate a normal that would also consider the uvs and… -
Re: iPad2
Completely agree. I love my iPad but definitely with you on this. Yes, there's a few tablets due out with stylus, and a Windows based OS, but if we're honest, they're probably gonna suck. I'd love something specifically marketed at the creative, be it artists, designers or whatever. Problem is, I know you say the market is… -
Re: [Portfolio] (3d interactive): Hendrik-Jan Schoenmaker, MM|VR-Designer
its called a detector and quite alot webdesigners use it,- but I am sure that 100% of my target audience has the flash player installed and activated (e.g noScript firefox extention). If my target group would be everyone and not just visual CG/Design related people perhaps then there might be a change people do not have… -
Re: How detailed should my high poly be for game asset?
Since you're going to bake those details into a normal map, it all becomes a question of what texture resolution you plan on using. That depends on how important is your asset compared to the rest of the environment and how powerfull is the hardware that you're targeting. I think there's no "right" answer for that but just… -
Re: Catch-22? The Relationship between my Game Engine mesh and my Subdiv Sculpting Mesh.
Thank You. @Low Odor I never thought of using morph target and projection in this way (would've thought vertex repositioning would warp projected colour). But the target mesh of the projection in this example has a subdivision-friendly geometry (even poly spread etc) - not a game-ready geometry. @Musashidan "Polypaint to…
