Re: [3Ds Max 2010] Pelt Mapping
pelt mapping is overrated and rather bad implemented in max with the separate and tiresome seam marking. What you should care however about is the relaxing of the uv's and max is actually quite good at this.* Just select all the faces and have some planar mapping (in the edit uvw modifier panel) which will cause the whole… -
Re: Rigging
actually out of the box max should work somehow here is a basic setup, I just threw together better would be putting the pivots in the middle of the shells http://crazybutcher.cube3d.de/wip/belt-fed.zip you create 1 spline, and copy it to create a second parallel to it, create a shell and link it via path constraint to… -
Re: 3DS UV Tools
You are just blind. :) Max's Relax tools are considerably better than Maya's. The only thing Max lacks which I'd like from Maya is the "Map UV Border" tool, but just using Max's Relax overcomes this 99% of the time. You'll find it in Tools -> Relax, set Amount to 1.0 and Iterations to about 200, hit Apply and your UVs will… -
Re: Game Industry Shares... Inside Trading?
Let me tell you what little I know about Stocks. It is based on GROWTH, not on profitability. What that means is, Activision is EXPECTED to have 15million subscribers, sell 20 million copies of CoD, and sell 15 million of Diablo 3, so despite reaching those lofty numbers, their stock price stagnated. If those expectations… -
Re: Mesh resolution
I was thinking that I only have a few pieces that will require soft binding. The rest is hard shell that can be parented to bones. So no matter how heavy they are, it should be no trouble at all for Unreal to deal with that. Then again, first time I experiment such a character in Unreal. We learn from our mistakes. I… -
Re: Support Immigration even if you hate hispanics.
In that "more important" thread, Frank questioned my honesty and motivations for making this thread. I want to dispel the idea that I am trying to convince anyone here to do anything. I don't give a shit about immigration. I see a problem, and there is a timeframe before the November elections to maybe come up with a more… -

Breakdown of the AAA pipeline for game-ready realistic hero props
Hello! Some time ago I finished a project and thought I’d make a breakdown of the whole process from start to finish. This is not a detailed tutorial for every step but rather an overview over the process that I hope will help people (especially beginner 3D artists) get a better understanding of how the pipeline works.… -
After using decimation master, any way to get fairly clean uv islands w/nice borders?
For making complex organic rock formations and similar models, using decimation master in Zbrush can be quick and easy. However, this results in jagged topology and a lack of nice clean edge loops that can be used to split UVs into nice clean shells. Does anyone know of an easy approach to get better uv shell edges after… -
Asset variation guideline
Hi there, I know it's probably not having a solid response but a common sense/way of approach. I'd like to hear under what condition artists typically make variation for an asset, and how many variations. While I know it really depends on the asset itself and how it's going to be used, there are some specific examples…
