Re: How to create 2 uv sets in max
Apply UVW Unwrap, set the channel spinner to 2, click reset and the second channel should show up in the editor window. In the material editor under any given map in a material, there is another spinner that lets you select which UV channel that map uses. Works great for things like composite map where you have a diffuse… -
Re: *updated* projection map asset
I guess what you want to do is assign different color materials to each of your high poly elements - e.g. one color for pipes, one for fencing, one for the frame, and pick basic colors, like pure red, pure green and pure blue for that. Then you can bake the color (aka diffuse) pass and use that to separate the different… -
Re: Help me hand texture my (low poly) elf
Trust me on this, one cannot paint that kind of stuff convincingly if there is no good mass definition to hold it up. Thats the reason why yours look like they are "sharpied on" - its just a thin black make-up line on yours, because you assumed that, since it deep, it must be black. But on the reference you are looking at,… -
Re: CG software survey results
Blender updates every few months with an assload of new features. The other guys seem to update once a year, and charge hundreds of dollars. The problem is that moving data around between apps is not ideal. All the apps have different internal representations of things, and you can't convert them to basic types like obj… -
Re: 3ds Max Arnold maps workflow
That's always going to be the case. Materials above and beyond standard PBR metallic-roughness will not transfer reliably between renderers. Each is so different in what it supports. If compatibility is key, then it's best to adjust the asset down to the common denominator of surface attributes: * Albedo * Metalness *… -
Re: Advertising photographer looking to add small amounts of CGI to my workflow - Modo or Blender?
Personally I'd go for Blender. It's a very solid modeller, has a good built-in renderer and most importantly, a very active community. There's a ton of excellent and cheap community made addons so if the base app is missing something you need, chances are someone has made something to fill the gap. For example. as a… -
Re: The Bi-Monthly ENVIRONMENT ART Challenge | July - August (67)
@b_beauchamp That's a really ambitious direction you're taking. I'm excited to see where you take it. To my eye, the central pillar shape isn't as tiered in the reference as you've made it. Were you planning on making it a bit different than the concept piece to fit it in with your broader idea for the space? This is my… -
Re: Normal Map questions
First, your high poly and your low poly should aquire the same exact space. Be the same size and be right on top of each other. Second, your cage should only be slightly larger to envelope both high and low, you want it to envelope each as close as possible, but still be slightly larger then both. Cage is the best way to… -
Re: [Riot Art Contest] - Klemen Lozar
Adam, there's a couple of resources you could look at, I don't know if I can post links here but there's a nice flashfx blogspot with a ton of reference and Adam Phillips, ex Disney animator runs a vfx course on his website, I'm sure there's other stuff out there as well. Transferring that hand drawn style to 3D isn't… -
Re: Durham College - Questions
Thank you both for the detailed replies, they are really helpful. @slipsius - It is only a diploma but I read that there is a program where you can upgrade to a degree if you want, and transfer a percentage of your credits. @JasonLavoie - The Seneca program is however only 1 year and you get a certificate. I do like the…
