Here's another update on the courtyard. So, I've added glass windows on the top floor on the towers. I was imagining the tower facing the entrance to the pyramid would be where a villain would be. I may focus on this area more. Also added glass windows around the slanted pillars around the ring. I moved the pillars a bit,…
Hi Zac, Thanks for the advice. The problem that I'm having with planar & cylindrical unwraps is that they don't work for the surfaces that are facing straight up and down, like in the right half of the screenshot. Since they're perfectly parallel with the ground, cylindrical wrappings just turn those faces into lines,…
Are you talking about the Ring and Loop buttons that are in Selection Parameters inside of UnwrapUVW? Or the edge loop button inside of the Unwrap Editor window right next to the paint selection tool? Select loop and ring, can also be added to the quad menu, and bound to keys. I think its entirely pointless to use a 3rd…
If anyone is interested, the website has a mini-game where you're rewarded with a couple of short clips and some concept art (Optimus Prime and Megatron (I think) are in the concept art): Just go to http://transformersgame.com/ and wait for the intro movie to get done playing - when you're on the screen with the destroyed…
Hey, I don't know where this thread has led to in the past few weeks so I am just going to post this and go on my way. I found this to be a very interesting watch National Geographic: Inside North Korea -Disguised as a medical coordinator, National Geographic correspondent Lisa Ling gains access into North Korea and gives…
This, right? Maya is easily confused when trying to select more than one face loop. Not sure why. If you are trying to select 2 adjacent face loops, you can select the edge loop between them and convert the selection to faces, which will result in both face loops being selected. If you are trying to select multiple face…
Throne Room update - "When 8-bit Was King" In my childhood world, my Commodore was king and my desk was his throne room. What I'd like from anyone who sees this is ... what's wrong with this scene? I've been staring at this for a few weeks now and while I feel it's basically done, I know that I've developed mental blinders…
Hi, unfortunately the edge direction is a quite random parameter in 3ds Max meshes. The way I use to overcome this problem in the case of "ring selections" as the one you're showing, is to pick a sort of "loop reference" on one of the two sides. Use polyOp.getEdgeVerts which gives an array made of the two extremity…
Going to start a new character with the new content out on xbl now! excited :) S&O are fun, awesome boss fight. Remember I fought them with 2 others, a pyromancer and sword & board guy, and I'm a light armor dodge-crazy 2handed weapon guy... was such a rush fighting them. Did it the 'hard' way first before soloing it the…
In the last few days I tried to create a decent normal map, but I'm having some trouble.I don't know why, but there are always errors when I try to generate the map(I'm using max7).I also tried to generate the map with separated pieces but nothing.I think that some images can explain better than words what I mean. This is…
