3DS Max snapping...again
OK - I've got an annoying snapping problem which I can't remember how to fix...or if I ever found a fix in teh past or just worked around it. 3DS Max 2011, snapping turned on, all snapping options turned off except "vertex", 2 or more verts selected, mouse over one of the verts, drag to move and snap it to another vert,… -
Re: UE4 - Adjusting cull distance of foliage by adding nodes into the material
For my smaller foliage like grass, small rocks, etc.. I shrink the vertices to mesh's origin point using the per instance fade value as the driver. Obviously doesn't work on larger objects like trees (unless you're doing a stylized environment), but it looks good on smaller objects and doesn't create as much overhead from… -
Re: Hard edges, uvs, vertex use, normals, etc
@polygoo: The problem with tangents is, that they are a property of the tris, but are saved at the vertices (for interpolation). This lead to the problem, that vertices sometimes need to save opposite tangent spaces (left/right handed). Now, this is not a problem per se, you just need to duplicate the vertex using two… -
Re: [Big Tutorial] Making Modular Environments in UDK
Yes, but the trim set only need to tile in one direction, while the walls need to tile vertically and horizontally. Trying to put them together on one sheet would mean you couldn't get large vertical spaces of wall. You could "force" a second axis tiling where needed, and use a single sheet, by manually cutting and… -
Re: [Portfolio] Calen Brait - Lead Modeler Bioshock Infinite
Thanks Sugus and TheQuietPotato! Sugus - Ya, the Finkton model was treated more as a one-off asset. Also, like you pointed out can be duplicated horizontally/vertically. These were mainly used in the Finkton Hub to wall off the exterior player bounds. For an asset like this, I try to be aware of general units throughout… -
Re: PETROL/BLOOD - Stosh
I don't know who your teachers are but they really need to go over why we use triangles, why we use quads and why we definitely don't use n-gons. If I was doing this (and that would be in 3DS max), I would create a geosphere as it has vertices evenly spaced around its surface. Create a spike and then scatter it onto the… -
Re: Les Paul Guitar Prop
Your edge distribution is really bad, there should be even spacing as much as possible between vertices, also try not to have tris, bad for deforming and doesn't smooth well on curved objects, have them in flat spots, but keep in mind they might warp your bevel if they share vertices. Use blin material or any reflective… -
Re: . hexcerataur ?
Hi, I really like your work, I think you've got some great modeling skills. One thing I have noticed across all your models that I have seen (Grimm, Manavian, and this one), is that they all feel a bit squashed vertically to me. If I take an image of your model into photoshop (any of them), and scale them up vertically… -
Re: Tom's Journey Into Animation Part 1 - The Bouncing Ball
Cheers Mark. Yeah I see what you're saying. That's one of the reasons I'm so pleased I got so much feedback, and so quick too, it meant I could refine it and make amendments and get it done in a short time without hanging around on the same project for too long. Next up I'll let it bounce to settling, probably just… -
Re: UDk Breaking my UVs
What happens if you auto create new UV's in UDK? Does it show the same problem or overlapping sections? Also, when I asked for import settings, I meant the ones in UDK. There should be option like "Strip degenerates faces" IIRC and stuff, which could change the outcome. Again, I think it's a case of there being a vertice…
