Re: [MAXScript] UVW Mapping Paste on Mesh Instances
@poopipe Hmm strange that it didn't work for me. I tried to change the source obj to become the Box_CorrectUV and destination to Box_001 still doesn't work. Though if I have manually add a Unwrap_UVW before running the addModifierWithLocalData script, looks like it works but if the Unwrap_UVW was added using the same… -
Re: Steam-Punk Motorbike
Looking better. I think it's nice to see someone doing a motorcycle and since I have a passionate interest in them then why not help out. Consider placing a copy of your rear suspension to have one on the other side as well for balance/symmetry. There's a point when you have enough believability when you can let other… -
Re: Humanoid USB Posing Mannequin for Skeletal Animation
Speaking of good rigs : Anyone knows of a good (preferably free or reasonably cheap) continuous rigged human character for Max ? There used to be one made available from a game company, a blue soldier of somehow cartoonesque proportions IIRC. But I want to find something a bit more robust with good controls and… -
Re: maya 2014
that goes to show that democracy is not always a good thing. you dont really need popularity contests to tell how to make a good software. photoshop is a great example of that, some of its core features were developed without such internet popularity contests. foundational features like preset management wont win a… -
Re: Resume Advice
Hey Jonathan, Unfortunately, you have to respect NDAs. If you can show that you are well-versed in the techniques and workflows in the industry (And judging by your website, you are definitely qualified), then experience won't be as crucial. A close friend of mine was in a similar situation: had a well-paying construction… -
Re: Game Props Project
BlvdNights, you're right! I have made the metal texture smoother now, thanks! Axios, yes I tried editing the vertex normals. First I tried to find the normal thief plugin, but didn't find it anywhere to Maya. Instead I created a balloonlike geometry shaped like the canopy of the tree and transferred the vertex normals from… -
Re: flexible Low Poly Counts - Workflow - Is there a way???
I think you are looking for an automatic LOD generator. Multi-res in 3dmax , Decimate in Blender, Maya has something too. As well as a few game engines themselves. But Imo neither of them work perfectly right to have a perfect polyflow and no shading artifacts. Thus manual retopology tools are so common. Those tools works… -
Re: Airtug - yes it's McQue-esque
You should post the concept. I don't have any crits on the model, I think it looks awesome, I really like the style/proportions. The details are all nice and beefy and look like they should transfer well. As for baking, the way I approach it, which is probably the longer, more time consuming way, is I bake each piece… -
Re: 3ds max: detach elements off 1-1 uv space
@Noors: Oh wow, I never though of that. This is a very clever way of doing things, didn't know that manipulating a mesh was faster than manipulating the UVs via polyOps. I'm caching some of the polyOp functions to local variables and UVW Unwrap is modifier is never used. But for example, there is no convenient functions… -
Re: Monster Hunter 4
Yeah the combat system is definitely awesome. I love how each weapon has different recovery/attack times and you really have to 'learn' the weapon types. They did release Tri G for Wii... if you can call that a 'grown up console'. You can also get Portable 3rd HD for the PS3 which is amazing (more so if you've got the PSP…
