Re: Mirrored normalmap in Maya
yes there is. Not sure if there is one BUILT IN, but here http://vailias.com/technical.html I've got a CGFX shader for maya there that supports mirrored normals, you just have to move the coresponding UV's one full UV unit in any direction (ie rather than have the mirrored UV's from 0 to 1 have them from -1 to 0) It… -
Re: max file sizes
So we spent a long damned time on this last night trying to figure it out. We narrowed it down to the biped being the problem last night, but any time we created a biped in the scene it would go from a 1 meg file to 40+ It turns out it is the max file collecting all the data from copied poses etc on each biped. I deleted… -
Re: Bethesda decal techniques - The Skyrim case
Here is a bit of an explanation about how you would do the hard blend with the vertex colors. There are other techniques as well, but their one is likely this. I mentioned that "if" thing, that gives you the fully hard alpha, so its actually very simple. This is what your if would do: A= height A B= height B A>B = 0 A>=B =… -
Re: Horse_WIP (Model for Fistful of Frags [HL2 Mod])
CrazyButcher: Thanks, yeah I just did a really simple base mesh because I find it easier and faster to do a bit of sculpting and then retopologize later if necessary (the base mesh that is).

Re: Mel Script: Toggle Camera Based Selection
Here's a hint to make things that toggle into really simple code: toggleCmd -flag (1-`toggleCmd -q -flag`); So in your case: selectPref -useDepth (1-`selectPref -q -useDepth`); To make it callable from the command line, you need to make it a global procedure and load it. Making it a procedure is simple: global proc… -

Re: [WIP] Titanfall Fanart, MCOR "Maurauder" Pilot Desmond
The waterline? I can't remember the anatomical jargon for it at the moment, but it's the surface you apply eyeliner to: The only notable plane change in the waterline itself would be the one to the eyelids. I faked extra thickness in that overpaint and also suggested a meniscus. The waterline is quite thick, something… -

[WIP] (UE4) The First Temple (trim practice, need critiques)
Since the summer I have been practicing trim texture techniques. I drew from The Ultimate Trim Technique and Polygon Academy's Trim Texture videos. More recently I decided to make a small environment to practice. I created a trim sheet using Max and Zbrush as prescribed in Tim's videos. I generated other maps from…
