Re: Maya - Destroying most/all fatal errors?
There's a few scripts out there that will rebuild a mesh from scratch to avoid these issues. It's been so long since I've needed one, I'm never sure if it's my workflow or the software getting better. Hypergraph with Heirarchy view is helpful in troubleshooting a mesh, sometimes you'll still have crazy inputs left over… -
Re: Answered: Problem with importing mesh into ndo.
Tried using FBX 2013, still having the same problems. EDIT: If I press the roll down menu with the "BaseMaterial" in the Baking options, the output_log.txt in 3DO2_Data writes 4000 new lines. It seems to pretty much be this error message repeated: NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object… -
Re: Which PC suits me?
Yeah man, That's me to a T. I wait so long to rebuild that I'm always blown away, even if it's not the brand new top-of-the-line. I'm 3 years out on my last build, and I'm kinda itching for a new system, if only to play some of the new games coming out with steeper requirements. A bit hard to justify, seeing how I don't… -
Re: [WIP] German - Historical - Dunkelgrau & Bronze/Brown
I decided awhile ago to go forward with the Dunkelgrau and Bronze/Brown camo design (3rd one). I'm planning on updating soon, but I had some questions. I've initially created my mod and it all built correctly, but when I try to make any changes and rebuild or build it again, it doesn't seem to save my changes. I recreated… -
Re: Portfolio critique requested
Thank you everybody for the replies. Its definitely not what I was hoping to hear, but it is exactly what I wanted. Truth. I agree with all of you and you have given me some great advice. Cholden, I will be doing what you've suggested by completing 1 portfolio quality scene per month for the next 3 months. Starting with… -
Re: Max 2012: Viewport canvas
@Mark: Not tried rebuilding as a standard mat and for the project i'm on I think they have to use vray mats, I will try anyway just to see if this problem is to do with just using vray mats. @monster: in the documentation it states that it should save your texture after edits and re-apply without the fuss of copying new… -
Re: Solved: How do I add normal details once texturing has been started in QS2?
There's a couple of options you can take a look at. 1. Edit the base normal map with NDO - not the one that DDO is currently using in its *.PSD structure. Once you're happy with the result, run DDO's Reimporter to rebuild your masks based on the new curvature information from your normal map. 2. Use a Bump channel to add… -
Re: Dynamic-only lighting questions
If you use one of the preset morning/day/night scenes then there is atmosphere lighting set up that comes from the level itself (not an actor). Found in World Properties - Lightmass - EnvironmentColor/Intensity. Note there is other stuff set up in the default preset scenes as well. For that reason I usually start with a… -
Re: 3DS Max How to bind a skeleton to a biped
If you link, you break the skeleton hierarchy and have to rebuild it when you export your skeleton-assuming it doesn't smash up all your transforms and ruin everything. It also doesn't guarantee your joints end up in the same place as the biped ones If you use position and orientation constraints for binding to the biped… -
Re: Adventure time girl
Awesome, thank you for the encouragement. Work is crushing my free time but when I do have it, full steam ahead! Firith: that's a good point. A cloth sim would be nice. I'm hoping I can get away with blending compression and tension maps to help the normal read correctly during deformation, and maybe some flappy joints on…
