Theres an issue with the Highres capture option, no clue what it is but heres a workaround. Just type this into the console: HighResShot 3840x2160, or any other value you want, and the issue will not be present anylonger. (Make sure you press Strg+the play button, to fly around ingame and access the console) If you…
So tomorrow will be the last day of my assignment working on this character. She still isn't as nice as I'd like, but I can always keep working on her after I've submitted her. As much as I would have loved to spend a lot of time on texturing, rigging her and animating her took priority. Tomorrow morning I'll hopefully get…
If you hold shift while you are panning your camera, it should snap to the nearest axis plane. You can assign a hotkey to something by holding Ctrl + Alt and left-clicking on any button.

It is not that simple. You have still an importer and exporter in between. And smoothing groups is not a standardized term. The end result is usually just edited normals. Max is using smoothing groups, other package use 'hard edges'. What max does is when you don't assign a smoothing group it doesn't smooth at all. This is…
Two materials is always going to be more expensive than one material (assuming we're talking about basic materials) Loading two textures is more expensive than loading one texture (assuming the same memory footprint) Unless there's a very good reason (ie a render programmer tells you to) for doing otherwise, put everything…
My door textures...I started with these ones first. These kinds of textures are way out of comfort zone but Ive been building up a texture library and really wanted to lean more on photos then my cartoony style of painting. Ive also been painting my own spec maps and trying to learn how they worked. As you can notice with…
Should look badass, mate, can't wait to see the final! But yeah, dem deadlines! Even on the professional level, that's cutting it close, and that's with 40 hour (or more) work weeks. My general suggest for deadline management with class assignments is to vet the project scope a bit and perhaps choose something slightly…
Try this. This works for me every time. Install latest version of RP manager. Open Max. Drag and drop psdunwrapper.mzp to your max viewport window. You get a message that the world is going to end. :D Go to cutomize find the rp manager. Assign shortcut. To test. Make box, assign unwrap mod, do flatten map or whatever you…

Hey there, I'm having a bunch of bugs that have completely prevented me from doing anything productive today: 1. I've done a character with a bunch of different IDs, created all of his materials, and then I realized I'm missing one map ID for another specific material. I edit my map and add a new color then refresh…
