PEN (Paul Neale) is doing another Master Class, this time about Max Script for beginners. I have taken two of Paul's classes and they have been great, very helpful. They are packed full of useful tips and tricks and he does a phenomenal job of explaining complex things. I can also attest to the power of maxscript, I'm not…
Week Thirteen Day 1- I made some changes to my brick wall textures. Instead of exporting a channel-packed map, I export every map independently using Parallax Occlusion Mapping and World Aligned Texture nodes in Unreal. I followed two tutorials on using or setting up height maps and World Aligned Texture in Unreal. Bump…

Pretty cool man! I get excited when people try to learn MaxScript. Lots of little things I would change, but the biggest one is just doing less in the loop. Try to figure out what can live outside the loop. I change a few things, then a little more, but this is how I would have created it. For 2000 verts I was able to…
Animation is very tricky to do when dealing with final gathering points. I don't know how well it works, but normally for basic prop animation scenes (excluding simple camera movements) what I would normally do is this: Frame 0 > Build On Frame 1 > Freeze Frame [X] > Build Off Have build on at the first frame, then freeze…

Due to the nature of the script I used, some images may or may not be present in an attempt to reduce the amount of junk images, however the majority of them are. I've gone and arranged things easily so you guys can…

Good stuff, good layout, I think you need more. Also showing texture sheets for the props shown, as well as wire outlined on flat shaded geometry would be nice. The Light house scene is top notch, if you can pull off that composition with a few low poly scenes you'll be in great shape. As for the alley scene you need to…
Hi all, long time lurker. I looked around and found some examples of someone attempting this in Blender (in like 2007) but no recent examples. Here's where I'm at: I wanted to see if it would be possible to quickly bake something very complex (like FiberMesh fur/hair, for example) to a fur shell. The idea would be that…
