Re: 3dsmax Quick and Dirty Workflow Tips!
I've been collecting these for a few years now. Many came from a similar CG Society thread. I've edited some, left some as found, and hope I'm not repeating too many. When saving a file pressing the + sign will add a number increment next to it (e.g. normal.max will be normal01.max). Press the "i" key to re-center the view… -
Re: Need help with weapon measurements clarification (Mossberg 590A1)
For the moment I'd suggest pause this project and perhaps attempt a simpler object to practice on! maybe SxS shotgun since ergonomic shapes i.e. butt-stock, tapered barrel etc... appear to be an issue, especially using a polygonal modeling workflow alongside other info that people had already shared here -
Rendering a schematic in Max 2010
Morning all, I am working on a project that requires some models rendered in a way that resembles a schematic line drawing intended for a product's patent application, and am having problems finding or creating a shader to match that look. I've gone through a few cell-shading tutorials but none of the styles really match… -
MSD analysis for maya
Hi everyone. I've created a shader override for maya in vp2 with Zebra Curvature clay reflection line and drafta Analysis to better understand the surface continuity. For anyone want a good 3d model this is a must ot have. https://youtu.be/PwiVDEOUQxI The link on my gumroad on video description on youtube. -

Re: Need some clarity on long thin triangles
Just to clarify here - long thin triangles are always more expensive to draw than ones with equal length sides (as far as I'm aware) due to pixel shader overdraw when shading the edges of the triangle (aka Quad overshading). e/ there's a good article on the subject here:… -
Re: Speed Model Thread TIMELESS AND DATELESS FOR UNTIL THE END OF TIME
Davision: While I generally like your stuff, oftentimes that comes from cool shaders moreso than the actual sculpt, as your raw sculpts always strike me as being quite 'pillow-shady', which comes from your shapes all being quite round and non-overlapping. They strike me as being 'rubbery', rather than skin pulled taut over… -
Re: Looking for critique
These are great, loving the style you've got going on! The monster lockbox could use varying line weights, for example around the teeth the shading is very even, which tends to flatten it out. Experiment with thinner weight at the tooth roots, vs. thicker weight at the tooth tips, or vice versa. For the grass, look into… -
Re: Form, Shape, & Structure in 3D Modeling & Texturing
Yes this is true, but the difference is that silhouette only describes the overall shape where as shapes, by themselves, may be found where silhouette is not. Any form can generate a shape and any shape can imply a form, but silhouette, but the definition I understand it, can only imply the contours of forms (the outer… -
Questions about Materials/Shaders and Textures
So, my polycount fellows, I'm pretty sure that this is a noob question but I still can't figure out and can't find the exact answers so I will just ask here. I'm using unreal in this example but the question applies to any other engine too (well, at least that is what I think lul) So, first question is: If I use one…
