Re: Learning proper use of UVs in 3ds Max. Need help
You can try saving the UV layout and loading in onto the others however this can be EXTREMELY dicey since it is dependent on the vertex numbering. If you've done anything to the boxes to change the vert numbering like attach and detach them to other objects or make any geometry changes, it will order the faces incorrectly.… -
Re: Marmoset Toolbag 2 | FAQ & Support
with my login i am supposed to be able to install and run marmoset on any number of machines and cross platform as long as i don't exceed my licensed number of seats running concurrently, correct? because the mac version refuses to register here, eats my login and then just tells me that the trial period is now on. oddly… -
Re: Fire Hydrant - help with low poly of chains
After the chains. the nuts and bolts are probably consuming the most vertices for the least visual benefit. Depending upon the in-game size and perspective, you can probably eliminate the ones on the base, allowing the normal map to show them. The bolts under edge can probably be eliminated entirely without many people… -
Re: Laser Guided Smart Bullets
There are apparently more guns, trained citizens and disgruntled ex-forces/police to out number government backed authorities by quite a considerable number in the USA; violent action is the excuse they all want (note that's "want" and not "need"). I read/heard that it only took 1% of the population to revolt that last… -
Re: Grand Theft Auto IV Chat
Telling from the video reviews and material the graphics look really nice. Gonna watch it on big hd screen in the office tomorrow (if anybody shows up, anyway) and pick up my copy as soon as possible. So, I think, big fucking congrats are in order to all rockstar staff. Really nice one. Cant wait to play. Now, I wish I… -
Re: .-| Week 8 - The Weekly Hard Surface Challenge |-.
I think two objects per week is a great idea, so we can choose which one to model some objects are more complex than others. At the beginning people were concern about the simplicity of the objects, perhaps the pieces are not to difficult to model,(for me is hard enough) I though we can make this challenger more… -
Re: tris versus quads in game art
Sorry to the OP for the OT. There's nothing hairsplitting about it. Polygons are irrelevant to rendering and no longer do a sufficient job in describing rendering costs. If people are going to make a limit for rendering expense, make it for vertices, not polygons, as the same number of polygons can have wildly different… -
Re: 3dsmax 9 - Material ID issues.
If I understand correctly... Yes, it does. In fact they should be the same in both Max and Unreal. Unreal does some weird thing if you're going out of range of the number of materials in the Subobject Material Slot in Max and you export it. Keep it clean, every face should have the right number assigned to it, they… -
Re: EA Louse or Mythic Rant or EA Rant
Actually there were worker's protection rights in play when I got laid off last year, I don't want to get into details but everything combined, I had no gap in income between getting laid off and moving up to Massachusetts. What happened to the GRIN or RTW guys when their respective studios got shut down? Remove WOW from… -
Re: What is UV count?
Well, I dunno, by default if you have the statistics up in Maya, it gives you vert count, edge count, tri count, quad count and UV count. In this case UV count is the number of unique UV vertices... so it's probably a more accurate number for performance reasons than just a straight-up triangle count or vertex count. If…
