Re: Cavity map in 3ds max
That doesn't look right to me, it looks like you rendered a diffuse map with a normal map applied and lights and shadows ticked on? Typically cavity maps don't have a direction to the lighting, it's just a pits and peaks kind of thing. The cavity map baker in 3dsmax only works with the target geometry (typically a low poly… -
Re: Mass Effect 3 M-13 Raptor - Critique Requested
the problem with maya crashing, that depends on what version you are running. I would switch to 2015 when you can just to keep up. from what it sounds like though, is that the mesh is too dense for maya to calculate. I can't think of the tri-count right now, but normally, if you were exporting from zbrush to maya, you… -
Re: Metroid Tribute
Thanks for all your kind words guys, Just some extra info some of you have been asking for : The polycount is 307926 Triangles, the model gets subdivided at rendertime. Regarding the course : I can recommend it, you need to have some modelling expiernce already to have optimal benefit of the course. But I don't think that… -
Re: RMA Texture
Looking at the stones, there is no way this could ever be from photo to normal, those are very likely 3D sculpted and then baked down. Youll never get such normals from a bitmap to normal generator. This is kinda what you get from a bitmap to normal generator, used the same stone image as base. The tool can not possibly… -
Re: [modo] Vertex Alpha
One of the small things that disappointed me about Modo 801 was the lack of vertex colour improvements. Eight releases now and you still can't easily manipulate vertex alpha despite meshes supporting it. The math tool is no good either because from my experience you can only transfer weight map values to the red channel,… -
Re: Autodesk, Pixar and Open Subdivs
I get what you mean now. Tbh, I don't know if we will standardize and I certainly can't provide information on any future intention either. As far as I can tell, Maya/Softimage are generally ok and are very similar. I can't speak for Max as it's a package I don't really know. It always has been slightly different as it… -
Re: Normal Mapping Issue - Zbrush to Maya
EarthQuake: Basically I made a low poly model in Maya, and then sculpted on it in Zbrush, and now I am trying to take that high resolution sculpt back into Maya and apply it to the low res mesh. Which I did in the pictures. I just want it to look normal, how it looks similar to the high res version in zbrush. Except I am… -
Re: Is this legal? (id)
So your saying that other than cease and desist. Nothing is stopping people from creating new companies each time and reupload games? Since it seems Google has no verification process unlike Apple. When they do get said take downs. Other than closing account of these people, do they even attempt to lock any funds not… -
Re: Gears of War PSP Character
Xenobond: That crit really helps a ton, Thankyou! Yeah, I am excited to give this another go now because I can see now I was approaching it all wrong before. Like cholden said I was trying to do a direct transfer from next gen to old school, when I really need to totally translate the design and comprehend the fundamentals… -
Re: some general questions about gameartists
1. depends, i usually work from home for several companies at a time, i did move and work on site for a few jobs in the past though but in germany i find the whole situation to be too unstable to really commit myself to a studio as a full time employee at the moment. besides, i like cologne and wouldn't like to move to a…
