Re: Diablo 3 Monk
Generally I don't really find myself being drawn to the fantasy genre but this is awesome! particularly the HP stuff! I think eric and duncan are spot on with their crits. It just needs better material definition. One thing you might find usefully (especially for metal) is unifying your values on the gloss map, so rather… -
Re: Displacement Map in Marmoset Toolbag
Unfortunately this isn't something we're able to "fix" on the marmoset end. The reason i say that is because really there's nothing "broken" on our end to fix. All we do is handle mesh data as it's passed into the program, we can't really make assumptions about mesh data, because that would most likely break things for the… -
Re: Portfolio critique/feedback
First of all, by just having props, instead of full environments, you're limiting the jobs you're eligible for by a lot. On the warjack, it looks like you're relying too heavily on dDo for textures; the weathering seems to be generated by algorithm without much thought about where would actually get worn out, and the scale… -
Re: Environment Workflow
I know what Computron means by the STL check. Halo 1 and Halo 2 used an old radiosity algorithm that requires the BSP geometry to be water-tight sealed with no holes. Also its collision was generated from the same closed geometry to split the world into convex shapes for portal-ing/culling. I doubt halo reach requires such… -
Re: The first level editor/mod tool you ever used.
Acorn Electron Repton 3 (1986) map editor. Which if I recall, allowed you to edit the sprites as well so you could make your own graphics for it. Pretty awesome for its day. EDIT: ah..here it is http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Repton_(video_game) "Repton 3 includes a map editor along with the game, so that it became possible… -
Re: OpenCTM format
The OpenCTM has three types of compression, basically: 1. Lossless compressing the data as 7zip does ( RAW ) 2. Lossless re-scaling the mesh internally to fit better the 7zip's compression algorithm's quantization ( MG1 ) 3. Lossy using fixed point maths ( you'll just loose a bit of quality in the decimals ). MG2 The… -
Re: Render to texture using MR displacement doable?
You can use displacement maps on a low-level ZBRUSH mesh, in combination with TURBOSMOOTH or MESHMOOTH to get a mesh which is pretty much identical to the high-res ZBRUSH mesh and which renders out fine with the standard MAX renderer...never tried it with Mental Ray though. There are a few steps you need to take to get it… -
Re: relief mapping
I dunno, when I've seen relief mapping in motion it always squirms around a bit, stretching the color map and making a bit of a mess. When it's more subtle, less displacement, it seems to pull off the effect better. But I still see stretch marks in the grooves. But I'm basing this on older demos, haven't had a chance to… -
Re: Need help with Character Workflow
The helmet model changes its shape because the smoothing algorithm in zbrush (and any other 3d App) tries to change a linear shape into a curve by adding one or more edges between two edges. To keep hard edges you have to add extra edges parallel near to the original edge. A good tutorial which explains this principle of… -
[3DSMAX] Boolean mod variable width fillets like Meshfusion. [Feature request] Please vote.
Now that there is a boolean modifier in 3dsmax, this seems like a logical next step. Please vote for this feature request on the 3dsmax forum: https://forums.autodesk.com/t5/3ds-max-ideas/boolean-mod-smooth-transition-fillets-with-variable-width-like/idi-p/12404457 From that post: "Fillets with variable width between…
