The Edge Flow Thread. (controlling topolgy)
I thought that in this thread, we should share with eachother how Edge flow works and how you can change it. Mainly because I Suck at controlling edge flow. ( I know this thread is similiar to "how to model this Shape", but i thought this was needed. Just in Case! ) :P… -
3ds Max UV scale tool won't let me scale
I'm using 3Ds Max 2012 64 bit. I'm currently unwrapping some objects, but I've run into a problem. Sometimes the scale tool will stop working in the UV editor. I'll click and drag to scale a shell up or down, and when I release the click, the scale of the shell(s) will snap back to what it was before. The only way I can… -
Unable to load packages
Hi, I'm working on a map in the latest build of UDK. And I wanted to make a port of it for Chivalry MW which uses a modified version of the July 2012 UDK build. I've tried using the July 2012 UDK build as well as the Chivalry MW Editor, to open my UDK map. But it crashes on trying to load the .upk file, in both cases. So I… -
Re: 3DS Max Transfer ALL settings?
It's a bit of a pain, but you need to do two things, save/load the settings and copy some files. First copy the files... Personal files can be found in 2 places you need to trasfer the Scripts, UI, Plug-Ins and Scenes folders from each spot to the same places on the other machine: 3dsmax Root Dir: C:\Program… -
Re: Albedo material vaules chart?
@Eric Chadwick Thanks Eric. I agree. I think I have noticed situations where roughness makes the diffuse look darker when working with offline renderers. I will have to pay more attention to this next time. So how do u use say albedo vaule for example if Conifer Forest - 0.08 for offline renderers? U convert to srgb 0- 255… -
Re: Ngons for assets in UE4?
Max 2012 was when they(Adesk) started to first implement Nitrous viewport. My guess is that your invisible edges(dashed) are simply not showing up on account of a 2012 display issue. As for what I'm describing, a plane isn't a good example as it has no silhouette. You only need to worry about shading errors after you have… -
Re: [Math/3DS] Question - Rescaling formula to recover the original dimensions of a model?
If you know the size of your model and the percentage you originally scaled by you could do: (height / scale%) * 100 Let's say original scale was 2.2 units tall in Y and then it was scaled to a new value of 1.5x that/ Find the new height by using a measuring tool, or bounding box min/max. In this example it'd be 3.3 3.3 /… -
Re: Xbox One
This textdump is very misleading indeed. "We have 48 million Xbox 360 users connected online nearly 24 hours a day. That is much more than any of our closet competitors and vastly more than Steam." Stopped reading right there. Because (I estimate) there are roughly 60~65 million active* accounts on Steam by now. They had… -
Re: Maya 2013 has been Announced! ( as well )
Well, obviously we can't say that the offset we had before maya 2012 was a "working feature". They improved the offset a lot in Maya 2012, but that slider was something like a hell to handle... If you wanted a little bit more control you had to open the attribute editor and type the value manually, and when you need to do… -
Re: Portfolio critique please!
Hey antihero, I think most of us had the time when we thought we can't make it, If I remember correctly, ryan kingslien call it such period, which mean when you start 3D all you work will suck and it might take 200 sculpts to get out of it or 500 but eventually you will get out of it. You just have to keep working and…
