Point 6 is a good one to know. I'm curious, from a software architecture standpoint, is it not possible to load things into the VRAM sequentially and if the need arises for extra data storage during a bake, to use methods like temp storage. Why would one baking group have to know of the existence of another baking group,…
Pretty sure this will seem a stupid, rudimentary question to a lot of you guys, but I gotta ask. With this pic I've got two cylinders. With one I merged all the verts and the other I didn't and kept it 4 sided. Now, is it okay to have them all merged like that? It saves me wasted geometry but it does make it all tris for…

Im currently using dDo legacy. It happens very often in production on design change geo updates etc. I'm pretty happy with the preset detail I did in dDo. With the new geo updates I've done some UV fixes and rebake all the normal maps ao maps diffuse maps. But dDo doesn't seem to have a slot where I can update those maps.…

Before you jump the gun and start throwing links of the Polycount Normal Map wiki, End All Be All Normal Map thread, Poopinmymouth's normal map tutorial, and the 1.05MB SWF file on Maya normal…
hey everyone, i was thinking it would be a good idea to get some crits an all the sci-fi stuff I do. So thee is the thread :smiley: so first here is what i am up to at the moment; I started that as a concept quicksculpt but quickly realised it would be a good eercice to go all the way on it. I am now strating to retopo the…
I have a maya scene with hundreds of materials (mostly phong). What happens is all of them are very low saturated and I need to bring the saturation up just a bit for all of them. Is there a script that allows me to play with all HSV attributes simultaneously? Just to make it a bit more complicated, I have quite a few…
"As for philosophy I think its all bunk." says guy with a very cynical personal philosophy. No offense, but your whole post comes off like one of those people who says "I'm not a pessimist, I'm a realist", because they can't see their worldview is just another matter of perspective, and is shaped by their own personal…
