Re: Script/plugin for max similar to modo deformer falloff?
Yes, as Eric pointed out, Gradient Ramps are an easy method. I'm not familiar with Modo, but my guess is that if there is something you can do in it, there is one to 10 ways to accomplish it in Max. One of the things to learn in Max is learning a bunch of the procedural tricks where one system can drive another. In this… -
Re: How does one get motivated For 3D modeling
im just going to copy/paste this reply I posted in another one of the hundreds of in need of motivation threads. cause these are starting to get out of hand. Everyone posting they are lacking motivation needs to read: No Excuses! by Brian Tracy. Hands down one of the best books I have on my shelf and I reference it… -
Re: Student portfolio help & advice
Hey OP, You can improve a lot. For example it still seems you are really weak on modelling. Can you maybe start doing these. It starts simple, but it is really good practice. http://www.polycount.com/forum/showthread.php?t=129938 http://www.polycount.com/forum/showthread.php?t=132146… -
Re: mihalceanu's colaboration/updates thread
I gotta agree man, it seems like your overall quality has been decreasing rather than increasing. My favorite pieces of yours are on the first two pages out of 17 (Head Hunter Mask and Wolf Hound Rifle). I get the impression that you're not challenging yourself anymore with your recent submissions like the Blue Lightning… -
Re: WarTime Bedroom
Hey ladyknowles, It's looking like a good start! I like the concept; it's quite evocative of a certain mood, I feel. A couple of critiques: It's hard to pin down, but I'm kinda feeling a lack of unity and cohesion in the look of your assets and textures. Too much photosource can cause this I think, but a fiddle with… -
Re: Chubby Rocket Man
Haha fink, that's awesome, good to see you posting. :D I was about to post some crits and suggestions, but looks like Emil's covered most of what I wanted to say. The only thought I'd add to his awesome wall of text is to always keep in mind what level of detail is actually necessary, vs what's just pretty. For example,… -
Re: Purger Rifle
might want to mention the artist, and link it, so people can compare your version to the concept. That being said, I think it's way to blocky, it's as if you modeled it in side view, and then except for the more rounded pieces just extruded it. have a look at real life guns, compare that to yours, for example the grip,… -
Re: (Solved) Reducing Cylinder Sides? (3ds Max)
You could try Blender as a secondary tool. It has a few extra options beyond what MAx offers. For example it could turn top of a cylinder back to perfect shape with selecting top vertexes and hit "space" in loop tools. MAx doesn't consider them a loop for some uncertain reason with a same named tool. Unfortunately in both… -
Re: Realtime post-processing HLSL shader editor?
Minor experience in FX Composer. You can create a plane in a create menu at the top I believe. Assigning a texture is a bit different, you have to write a texture binding into your code and then compile it. FX Composer will pick this up and add this to the properties panel. I'm used to working with CGfx so what I say here… -
Re: The Pirate
I'm no character artist but 12000 tris for this shape is definitely too much. Wherever there's a form that doesn't bend you can think about collapsing the edgeloops there (except if it supports a certain silhouette). I think you could get a similar result in form and style with half the amount of tris. For the hand have a…
