Re: Different Materials for Alpha, Transparency, Emission
Let me ask it his way: Since we have to use different renderin mode in Unity for transparent objects. >Does changing a materials 'rendering mode' effect the performance?, from opaque to lets say cutout, fade or transparent. Lets say: If we have a texture with no alpha value but still enable the cutout rendering mode would… -
Opening .DXF files in Maya?
Hi, I need to open some CAD files (.DXF) in Maya. I have been reading that this functionality is built in and provided through "ATFPlugin.mll" in the Plugin Manager. I have ATFPlugin.mll enabled. When I import a .DXF Maya waits for a minute and looks like it's importing but then nothing happens, no items are even visible… -
What's your go to app for texture baking?
It's 2016, so what app do you use to bake your normals, displacements, ao, vertex color, cavity and other maps? I am currently looking into a workflow that enables baking high res maps of up to 32, 64 or even 128k. Are you still using what you used 8 years ago or have switched to a more recent app to handle this task? -
Maya remember folder history after restart
In Maya when you go to import/export/open/load textures, you have a folder history. But unlike Max (and I'm sure others) it clears it when you restart Maya. How do I turn this off, it's annoying as hell. I want to open maya, go to open file, and have a list of the latest folders I've been in, in my last maya session. Is… -
3ds Max show horizon not displaying
Hey guys, I'm trying to align a camera to a reference image (with perspective lines), and I've set the perspective viewport to display the free camera's view. I'm selecting 'show horizon' from the parameters rollout, but the horizon line isn't displaying in the viewport. Am I doing something incredibly noobish? Is there a… -
[CGHero] Converting vehicles to have doors that will open
Our client is looking to have existing vehicle assets amended to enable the doors to be opened and closed in UE4. The current models have a separate exterior and interior mesh so these will need to be amended so that the meshes for the interior and exterior of the doors are separate and no gaps are visible. If you are… -
Re: Substance Painter - Baking - Mesh wont bake half the maps
Took abit but figured it out. For this too work i had to turn off "Enable ray tracing from GPU" in the settings window for baking, im guessing the density of the mesh made ray tracing just stop the program from hammering my gpu into the ground but had no way to tell me that other then the mesh could not be loaded. Cheers… -
Re: Maya - Is nRigid heavy?
nRigid is still in the nucleus family, so it has all the quirks. So if one vertex is colliding, the system still needs to step through all the rest. I'd go in expecting it to be slow. I don't believe there's a hit from it being there and doing nothing. If it's a problem, you can always have the collider disabled while you… -
Re: Im having problems with the art scene
I think you might benefit from drawing out a reasonably finished concept before modelling and trying to stick to your concept unless you get inspired to do otherwise. Usually that will enable you to problem solve in your head a bit before even entering a 3D app. Whenever I get frustrated in a similar way, it's always due… -
Re: Animating the main controller
For game animations, I animate the root controller quite often. But I put the animation in a layer and mute the layer when exporting to the game. This is really useful when doing a jump animation or a getting the feet to plant just right. Some games need that animation though. In Unity you can use a "Root Motion" option to…
