Re: Should boundary meshes like walls and cliffs be planes or 3d objects?
I imagined the game as a third-person, with the camera being close to the player, at his back except for cutscenes. The game takes place in a gigantic hollow meteorite, full of caves and canyons. These rocks I want to make are the walls of the caves and canyons. Think that maybe the boundaries of the meteorite (projected… -

Re: Ambient occlusion question
Just thinking out loud here, haven't really got a chance to test this theory. But what if the color texture already has a pretty dark/near black texture? Then multiplying the AO into the diffuse won't amplify the dark effect that much. In that case you ought to benefit more from multiplying a separate AO map into the… -
Re: 3Ds Max 8 Not saving Files at Render To Texure
Can't find it. Pick each object in the scene in turn (use the scene info box, this is much easier). The last object you pick is the target object. Always make sure the target object is set to Smooth shaded, or you will get hard edges on the normal map for each polygon. Experiment with the Ray distance and the samples. I…
