Re: Substance Designer 3 - 99$ Non-commercial use Licence
Bigjohn is completely right. To me, the philosophy behind ddo and ndo is to fill the gaps and weaknesses of Photoshop for texturing and it does it very well. Designer's philosophy is more about starting from the idea that Photoshop may not be the best tool for texturing in the first place, at least not for all the… -
Re: newb normal query-wavyness
There can be numerous cases where that happens. 1.All UV´s are inverted. Go into the UV editor and hit "Select inverted faces" if everything gets selected you have to mirror it(i think max thinks it hits a backface then or something) 2.Did you forget to add the highpoly to the projection modifier?(Not very common but can… -
Re: Specify Dimensions In 3DSmax
Right now I have a script that I use to set the grid size to 32 64 128 ect... I could modify it to update your value in the window in addition to setting the grid size, but that's a less robust solution if I ever use another tool or anything else that modifies the grid size in the future. So I just figured it would be good… -
Re: L3xicon - art dump
thanks Bulls_eye and MightyPea, some great suggestions there that I will definatly be following :D I made another quick pass at the splashdamage scene and modified the window walls as you guys suggested to save those tri's :D I ll be taking another look at the gnome's shield - I might have a go at adding some mesh work to… -
Re: 3dsmax5 vertexcolor tools release
Thanks man, this is great, very robust for a first release! Both work fine now. I did feed it a hard test, changed vert count in the stack. That's one reason the modifier approach of CopyMap.dlm is great, totally independant of the base modifier. Odd, I can't figure out how to get the Vertex UVW Color map to recognize UVW… -
Re: how to render isolines in max
Make a duplicate of your object, put a push modifier on it with a setting of .1. Now assign it a material that has the "wireframe" box ticked inside it. I just tried this and it renders the isolines when I have a turbosmooth modifier on, with "isoline display" checked. Now you have an isoline wireframe overlay of any color… -
3ds max baking: supersampler option grayed out
Hey guys, I wonder if anyone of you ever ran into this problem before: You're setting up your scene for baking, assigning the projection modifier etc. and once you're looking for the global supersampling option within the render to texture dialogue (options -> setup) to enable 2.5 star or so, it just isn't available!? I… -
X-Com Rifle
Hi, few weeks ago in my free time I've started modeling an X-Com rifle model in high poly. As you remember, UFO1 was and old game so there's no proper, hi-res references. Most of the weapon's details are taken from reference pics of modern weapons. Only the main shape (but a bit modified to be more user-friendly) is taken… -
simple max screwup question
hi guys! I was testing if my base mesh was gonna subdevide properly by adding a turbosmooth modifier to the stack. i accidently pulled it to 10 iterations, and my computer couldn't handle that and asked me whether i wanted to back it up. i did, and now when opening the file i get this message: i tried clicking both, but… -
Re: Tools for Cleaning Up Floor Plans in .dwg?
I did a bunch of freelance work converting bitmap plans into 3d models, and sometimes DWGs too. CAD plabns are a mess, not worth the time to try to reuse IMHO. I always imported them into Max, froze them, and just drew over them with splines. I used the modifier stack to my advantage with a Sweep modifier to flesh out the…
