Re: AKM hard surface practice
yeah, i was thinking of modelling it in, but at the depth it is the top of the magazine clips through the indents, so i left it. if the bake doesn't go well, ill redo it with more important floaters modeled in. -
Re: CVC Helmet
here is the Low Poly version. 11,887 tris knocked down from 2.9 million :). gonna start an AO bake soon and add some floaters too for the holes on the ear cups. -

Re: Is it possible to learn Max in a month?
oh, something I always do is change the "H" shortcut from "select from scene" to the "selection floater" I don't know why the two exist and select from scene is the default because it's just a shittier version of the selection floater. The selection floater has the same features but it takes up less screenspace, uses text… -
Re: Workshop #1 - Racer445
A little random here, but one of the coolest things about floaters, is you can use them to quickly block in your details. And if you feel like it will really improve the mesh, when you have everything finished you can go in and chop those floaters into your mesh, this will save you from starting out with a messy mesh,… -
Re: Modo 501 - Floating geometry and AO?
Thanks for the help, I just figured that out by fiddling with things. I'm still not sure how to apply said shader to only certain geometry like my floaters. But are you saying if I turn off the background layer the floaters will still render in the AO bake but won't cast shadows? So what is the issue with Modo's AO baking?… -
Re: Laser rifle
Thanks for your feedback Stromberg, I was aware of the bad floaters on the front and the smoothing errors but I didn't noticed those hard edges at all. I will fix this asap and then start to unwrap. thx -
Re: Subdivision modelling Challenge - Win DEAD SPACE 2
EDIT: Reup'd with blinn applied little rectangles at bottom kept giving me pinching and stretching and I didn't want to adjust my topology for the top part. So floaters. Fuck the police. -
Re: Electronic_Security_Shield
Turned out good! Yeah next time try with floaters on both sides. The most important thing is that you acctually finished this piece from start to finish! =) And hopefully learned a bit from it! -
Re: What's happening with the AO?
Tbh, I find it a drag setting this stuff up in Max (especially if you need to exclude floaters from rendering shadows into the AO), so xnormal is my weapon of choice. And it's quick too.
