I've found another way; 1) open the "C:\Documents and Settings\XXX\Local Settings\Application Data\Autodesk\3dsmax\2008 - 32bit\enu\3dsmax.ini" file. 2)Find the "[CustomMenus] FileName=C:\Documents and Settings\XXX\Local Settings\Application Data\Autodesk\3dsmax\2008 - 32bit\enu\UI\MaxStartUI.mnu" line 3)Change… -
Re: How to estimate base color from photos?
If you know the local colour of an element of the photo, that is, what it should look like under a neutral light (no saturation), then you can colour-adjust the photo until that element goes from its "veiled colour" (affected by lighting) back to its "local colour" (unaffected). This process is called white balancing.… -
Re: What Are You Working On? 2010 Edition!
It's all about localizing textural details and avoiding visual noise. If you look closely at reference photos of something like a container in used but not rusted/damaged condition you will see that there isn't a ton of surface variation across the entire object but you will things like dirt, grime and drips tightly… -
Re: EricV's work thread
I think the building needs more oomph. Better transitions between the different brick colors and some localized dirt/drips around the structural elements would add a lot. Localized dirt could be done with decals. Also, your bricks are a little bit noisier than the reference, maybe smooth out the color variations for the… -

Joint orientation in Maya?

For the root level joint at the hip bone I oriented it to the world, and moved down the joint chain to orient the child joints to their local axis. However, it seems that I am unable to locally orient the finger… -

Re: worst day ever
@Ruz I'm in tears writing this... Actually your beautiful post reminded me to update Meeka's details with Central Animal Records which I'd finally completed today as deceased, tbh I've dreaded to do since her passing because previous owners had her micro-chipped. Now if memory serves was only by chance when initially found… -
Re: Going to Conventions worth it?
have you looked into local (or local-ish) game developer gatherings? I don't know how far away from NYC you are but there should be a few there. For example Austin, which isn't a big city, has the Juegos Rancheros indie dev meetup, an annual IGDA Austin picnic, the monthly game dev beer night and the occasional Polycount… -
Re: object space normal maps in 3DS max 2009
Yeh I think you are correct. When I go into the shader properties and change the "local xyz" back to "tangent" and render it off, it looks the same in render as in view port. When I set it to "local xyz" it looks correct in render, but like above in view port. I have a similar machine at work. Just for kicks im going to…
