Re: Why game studios prefer use Max instead Maya?
Yep. Max has some decent modeling tools and workflows but it's really fallen behind in terms of animation and for studios that have anything other than a bare bones animation pipeline, they are going to pick software that is more than likely to support their full pipeline in a way that works for every department not just… -
Re: Feedback Request
First, those are very inefficient UVs. You could have far fewer UV shells unfolded/relaxed more and taking up a higher percentage of the 0-1 space. The Automatic UV Mapping button is meant only as a starting point. Second, it's probably not inverted green channel. Maya and Mudbox both use the same type of normal maps, but… -
Re: Pixeled Normal Map for a plate asset I'm making. Help!
Man you can hardly notice that. Up your super-sampling and if you insist on making renders that large, bake out a larger normal map. I'm having a hard time even seeing what you are talking about. I can kind of see it, but I think you're being a bit too anal. It's like when a model doesn't have perfect smoothing but it's… -
Re: How to showcase substances in Marmoset
I see some bumping of the plane probably due to high noise in the height map. I would suggest that you blur the height map quite a bit so that you only capture the height of the bigger shapes in your texture. All those tiny details can easily be transferred in your normal map. Also if you go 3D View --> Materials… -
Re: First photogrammetry test
Do you have a good reference for a tutorial about photogrammetry? I think these materials and meshes look really nice and would be interested in trying it out myself a bit. I especially like the bark materials you have. Also, have you tested how well this looks in an engine like UE4? You're using Marmoset to test the… -
Re: Looking for critiques
These guys tell no lies; The thigh is too long and skinny, the fore leg is too short and skinny (the knees are little far down.) The knees also need to be defined. The back arm is short and skinny, the fore arm is long and skinny, the elbows need to be adjusted and detailed. The back is too manly, the chest is manly as… -
Re: Character feedback
@Dimfist-thanks for the tip. I'm working on retopo for the male character right now so I can adjust the arms after I transfer the details onto the low res. I went back and fixed the female's arm already but will post more progress on her a little later. Still working on getting her face right. Here's my most recent update.… -
Re: Where does it go? Metalness vs Roughness
It is specific to what kind of weathering you are trying to create. Metals corrode and oxidize, and in the process they undergo chemical changes. Also, many kinds of damage and localized wear include a component of surface transfer between materials. Do what looks right for the circumstances you are trying to replicate and… -
Re: Exporting a character picking up and holding an object from maya to unreal
You could just include the object bone into the character bone hierarchy and animate the pickup. The object should be parented to the root bone of the character. This is the simplest way if you only want to render it later in Unreal. About the dust, its the best to use a particle built inside Unreal. There isn't really… -
Re: Autodesk 3ds Max Maxscript: Convert Object Position To Proper Bytes For Hex
Another Edit: For those who were wondering, I have solved my problem with the vertex normals. Apparently, they are supposed to be offset from the vertex coordinates themselves. So, I came up with a couple extra Maxscripts to aid me, but this will work for now. Basically, after I create my model, I use a shell modifier on…
