Re: Vehicle has forward and reverse, ......reversed?
Ok, I did this, and it didn't seem to have any effect at all, but i'm wondering if maybe I skipped a step. What I did was copy'd the skin modifier to the clipboard, and then deleted it. Rotated the bones, and then applied the skin modifier back to the vehicle, and exported, and then reimported to udk. I rotated the bones… -
Re: Max speed tip - for tools stuff
Saving scene states (right click > quad menu > display > Save Scene State) in conjuntion with a good setup for layers is another good way to keep the modifier stack collapsed. I've been to lazy to fix the script I started writing that triggers auto backup, saves a scene state, and collapses the modifier stack. Some day… -
Re: Which programs/addons/mods/etc do you use?
That's not a valid argument anymore honestly, for example, both Max and Maya still in 2012 or 2013 don't have a global modifier panel, which allows you to globally change stuff. Example: Modifier Zorb. It's a simple yet free script that anyone who will be stacking modifiers globally will need access to, yet 4 grand… -
Blue seams dissapearing from Unwrap UVW in 3Ds Max
Hi, I'm wondering how I can change my model to edit poly and go back to the Unwrap UVW modifier and still see the blue pelt seams? This way I don't have to keep redoing my seams if I need to change something in the model. I have tried various ways like deleting the unwrap modifier, adding edit poly to the top and so on. -
Re: Shading Issues on curved surfaces
The normal thief really should be the answer here. I can't recall it adding extra smoothing groups personally. What does the normals/shading look like on the source mesh you are stealing from? FWN modifier might work ok, but from experience I could imagine it making it look worse too on these types of cylinder, worth a try… -
Re: Help with 3dsmax mechanical rigging?
You can bake your anims with a point cache modifier and save/load. Or you could 'direct' the different animations as shots in multiple files and edit them as a final anim in Pro sequencer or After Effects or whatever. For the suspension you would use the same look-at constraint setup as the pistons. You could also wire the… -
Re: Perplexed still on low/high poly manipulation
We need something like a voxel cube that you can attach booleans to and continue manipulating the boolean objects after they are applied. Being able to drag a cylindrical hole across a mesh and watch it update with a proper chamfer would be a nice thing to see. edit: to answer computron on the destructivity question,… -
Re: Normal mapping hard edges problem
You can also chamfer all the edges on the low, set it all to one smoothing group, apply an edit normals modifier, check "face" in the select by section, then select a side of the cube, average the normals, repeat for all the other sides, leave the bevels alone, and it'll look awesome without a normal map. (Assuming that… -
Re: Projection and multiple meshes
One method.... Use a single low-poly mesh. Add an Edit Poly modifier and use that to explode the elements outwards to match the high-poly models. Go to RTT and add the high poly models in the Projection window. When done baking, turn off the Edit Poly modifier to revert the model. Some ideas here… -
Re: sci-fi scene
Thanks! I will try to modify a bit the structure :) Anyway, i tried the PBL model. I modified the shader just to use only one texture (+ normal map). I find walls a bit wet, but i can't find nicer result, so i keep it this way. Instead i will change the cubemap. Crates and wires still use the basic phong shader.
