Re: 3D max texture projection technique
Yep. 3dsmax is pretty janky for projecting decals. There are some scripts that attempt to do it in different ways but it's all pretty messy. Decals with out of the box tools: https://knowledge.autodesk.com/support/3ds-max/learn-explore/caas/screencast/Main/Details/f5ba584e-a450-4165-a08f-26069850c2c7.html TurboTools… -
Re: Student looking for critique please. Simple Bookshelf Model using Maya and Substance Painter.
Looking good so far, I would suggest looking at more reference. You will see that usually these book cases have a lot of routed details on the top and bottom and the wood grain will run horizontally instead of vertically like you have it. Also the joints will have a subtle gap or at least a change in textural direction.… -
Re: Timeless Art
...well without sounding a tad elitist, I think a question more akin to posting on another forum, preferably traditional in aspect other than here. Because digital media for example, with all due respect is ephemeral in nature, basically a collection of sampled dots projected onto a electronic display screen, so what would… -
Re: [WIP] UDK Modular Environment
So, according to the crits that were given, I've boosted the wall heights (from 128 to 160) and lowered the railings (from 64 to 52-ish). For the railings unforunately, I've decided to not slant them to make the construction easier for corners. (lazy!) I then proceeded to unwrap all my pieces and bake the high res meshes… -
Re: /CameraChat
Yup, that's the quadra. I took from the first delivery in Germany. I really love it. I sold both my shoemount flashes and work with just this now. Nice camera setup, seems about the type of range I work, do you do much portraiture? My want list is the new olympus ep1 and the panasonic 20mm 1.7. Would be a great walk… -

Re: Confident Walk Animation Critique
This is a fun walk. It's also pretty different from my style so I'll try to critique and just take whatever is useful. * From the side, the spine feels very stiff. f170 has about the same curve in the back as f179. 179 is an awesome pose, but it doesn't stick out as much as it should because it has nothing to contrast… -
Re: Texturing in Mudbox. HELP!
I'm still wasting my time I suppose. More natural brush feeling and paint layering, lazy mouse and snap paint to curves, decent tools for image projection (it's no Mari however), support for UV tiles (UDIM, but different naming convention) hence basically unlimited texture resolution. Simple interface that doesn't sprawl,… -
Re: Physically based rendering in games
I've been digging PBR myself recently and it is much easier to setup than you think for first time. Non-PBR will work. To some degree, but they will not look good. In general making PBR textures is much easier and faster. You need to keep them as simple as possible. It's job of renderer to make them look good not yours.… -
Re: M26 Grenade
I think the polycounts fine. Sure theres a couple of tris you can shave off i na few areas, but if this was for a first person asset, its fine. Its not like you would see it with another weapon on screen, and it IS a pretty round object. I mean, I'm used to working with 12-16k budgets for FP weapon sets, that includes arms…
