[MaxScript] Transfer stack selection to Unrawp UVW
Ok. You proabably aware about this problem in Max its very popular request, but for some reason almoust no one still haven't solved this issue and those who solved want you to pay them money for that solution. I think its not fair that you should pay something for stuff that should be there by default. Which is why I… -
Re: ::UDK Lightmap UV Tip::
The reason this works is that pixels are square, the same thing happens with normal maps. if your UV edge falls diagonally across a number of pixels, it has to take every pixel it falls across and interpolate it to find the closest match. If your UV edge is straight, the software has a clean edge to fall across and there… -

Re: Blender 2.6 Modeling Tools. What's missing and what do you want?
i know how the edge split thing works, my problem is having to re-do all my smoothing once in blender, it wont maintain and of the work i do in maya with my edge hardening, and forces me to have to redo it all and manually mark all my hard edges from maya as sharp in blender. it isnt a so much a issue of the system used… -
Re: Smooth Groups in Maya
[ QUOTE ] sure, my workflow is to select the whole shabang and hit Normals> Soften Edge, and then start selecting edges you want sharp, and hitting Normals>Harden Edge. It's much more straight forward than smoothing groups imo, you just hit an edge and say if you want it hard or soft. edit: beaten to it, but I'm confused… -
Re: The Bi-Monthly Environment Art Challenge | September - October (98)
Congrats on finishing your piece @Vastra ! While the visuals are not very 2025, there's a cohesion in the look that reminds me of PS3 graphics and it somehow works for me. I feel you could add geometry to the walls to attempt the "room carved into rock" look the concept has. I can see you tried something like that with the… -
Re: Normal maps, Engines and dull colour palettes!
I agree with Mop, games looking same have more to do with artdirection than technology or artistic knowledge being phased out. Btw, I'm sure lots of modern games are influenced by almost monochrome, brown/green grading which is/was quite popular in film. e.g.… -
Re: Help! Revolver Model - smooth or normal map?
Considering you have an unlimited poly count, you're working on what's called a "high poly." You generally won't need to apply normal maps unless you're making a game-resolution model, or for some reason you're trying to render out super-fine detail. For general modelling however you should take advantage of the smooth… -
Re: How do People make High Poly models in 3ds Max ?
...low poly mesh only using chamfer to make it higher poly... and doing it this way feels soooo wrong and stupid :O.... I like this statement, because it sort of describes a lot of things we have to do to get things to work. For harder edges make an edge loop close to another it creates a tighter transition. Think of subd… -
Re: 3DS Max Questions (from a noob)
The GoZ option should appear inside Max in the menu bar, at the very end adjacent to Help. If it's not there, then the pipeline has not been installed, which needs to be done using ZBrush. To install the pipeline in ZBrush, click the GoZ button in the Tool palette and ZBrush will search for any applicable software to link.…
