New Editable Poly Modeling Script for Max
This script acts just like the edge Connect button on an editable poly object, but it will also raise of lower the new vert to keep the overall curvature of the object. So if you connected the edges down the length of a cylinder with the normal connect button, you end up with a new edge loop but the cylinder now has a flat… -
Angle maps
I posted this in the other thread, but I would like to make a knew one that is specifically for the topic. I've been thinking of using spherical coordinates to describe my normalized bump maps. I believe you could do this practically by rotating a spherical coordinate system around the Y axis and adjust you angle values to… -

[UDK] Baking lights with non-dominant's

Hi, I have tried to bake a NM for a metal fence. I tested baking with multiple version of LP. Normal LP (500 tris) + Smooths groups to 1 Normal LP (500 tris) + Smooths groups to 1, 2 and 3 and Optim LP (256 tris) + Smooths groups to 1 Optim LP (256 tris) + Smooths groups to 1, 2 and 3 It works pretty well, but I have a… -
Re: [3ds Max] Seperate all elements to objects while keeping normals?
Looks like Soulburn is using detach function, so it probably breaks normals aswell. I do the same as you : copy the object and delete faces. Dealing with normals is painfuly slow. Works only for editable mesh. I did test on a simple object, so, if it does nothing, it's because it crashed :p fn getElements obj= ( f =… -
Re: MaxScript, Quick Boolean script.

Re: Hard Edges, UV Seams, Smoothing Groups, Cages & Baking Trouble.

Test 1: Done in substance painter, with a low poly cube that…
