Thanks for the suggestions guys. Good to know about normalizing in the Nvidia plugin. I finally figured out what the problem was! Both files looked identical in Photoshop, and technically they are. But somehow max is interpreting the input ganmma differently on each. As soon as I would save in photoshop it would be…
8.1 versus 7 is really not as big a deal as people make it. I would say just get whichever is cheaper. SSDs go on sale pretty frequently these days; you should be able to pick one up for relatively cheap. That's a high price for a GTX 750. You should look for a GTX 760 at less than $240 or a GTX 770 at less than $320. If…
trying out Gyazo, looking to see how long an upload/grab stays up. if it starts taking things down after, say, a day or so it would be good to know. also- i was too focused on/ obsessed with making the mechanisms all be direct pulls (tech wise) from motorsports, then just repurposed. I figured, since race teams put…
Hey guys, I am following a small Blender tut but using VW as a way to learn VW, in the tut the object is bent following another objects shape, is there an option like that in VW ? Also I have noticed that the programme is starting to slow down and chug a little, I have 2 objects in the scene These are the stats of the 2…
Vig, have you thought of building a RAID setup for high speeds with larger amounts of data? I was just thinking, 4 drives in a RAID5 setup would be pretty speedy too. 4 of these would set you back $320 + a controller and would give you 3x ~60 mpbs write and 3x ~80mbps read, coming out at 1.9TB 240/180 versus your 0,13TB…
[ QUOTE ] I've known people who spent well over an hour commuting each way to work every day and were refilling their gas tanks more than once a week. If I want to see my family, just up the interstate in the next major city, I've got to drive 112 miles to get there - there's no other option. Go up and back for a weekend…
Important infomation for 3dsmax 8 users: There is a version 3.0 available for max 6/7, which works for 8 too. you can find it here: Meshtools 3.0 http://www.scriptspot.com/download.asp?ID=2432 Most features are in max now, but not all. Solid chamfer is one of the coolest features, but it gives an error when using it under…
I think you might have the srgb button unticked in your texture slot in marmoset. Click on the options button next to the texture and see if the srgb button is ticked. You want it ticked for every texture other than your normal maps. I think marmoset loads textures in linear space with a gamma of 1 with it unticked it…
I've tried changing the gamma settings in preferences - general settings in 3ds max, changed it from 2.2 to 1.0 as iv read this helps but it just makes my model appear mostly black and I can still see the issue is still there. I have even tried downloading other peoples models from sketch fab and when I apply a normal map…
You don´t need to reinstall it. Everything works "correct". Final Gather works screenspaced. So when you just render a smaller region you concentrate your final gather rays on this area. You already mentioned the problem in your entry post. If you use a draft setting you will get lightning artifacts. Also make sure you are…
