Re: Ut3 - Shadows through an Alpha Plane
oh i had this problem a while back while trying to get shadows from alpha plants to work properly. static meshes cant cast alpha shadows. you have to make the object an InterpActor and tick enabled and CompositeDynamic shadows on in the light environment channels. and it should take the alpha into consideration. instead of… -
Re: HDR + Bloom in UE3
To enable post processing and bloom you'll need to create a post processing volume. Once thats done you can control the intensity. Have a look at the levels and locate the post processing volume, double click and the menus will come up. As scott W said, the criteria that is mostly affected are the emissive maps and… -
Re: Model Crits
just take a screenshot out of the editor with edges/wireframe enabled. Those cheating renders are hard to crit because they dont show much of the real face distribution, how clean the mesh is or how well the topology is laid out. I would say that esspecially in the middle of the chest things look wrong and if you would… -
Re: Blender 2.5 render out alpha outlines?
You didn't pack the textures, so it's pretty hard to tell... Also, you may want to remodel, it looks pretty messy. There's a lot of unnecessary geometry sitting around. Also, my build of Blender will not allow me to render the image. What revision are you using? Just judging by your material settings there, why is… -
Re: rotating around local axis instead of global axis
Yeah, in Max, you wanna change the Snap settings - sounds like Angle snap is on in Gmax, but off in Max. It's the button on the top menu bar that looks like an illustration of an angle with a red magnet in front of it, click that to enable it. Right-click it if you want the options, I think the default is 5 degrees, I… -
Question: How Transparency affects Cast Shadows, and Subsurface Scattering
Been encountering interesting issues where transparency and subsurface scattering coincide. I'm wondering if Marmoset 4 just doesn't support the combining of these features currently or if my setup is wrong. I have a cutout mask used to subtly alter the outline of some fin membranes. However enabling it also seems to… -
Max mr Final Gather... increase color bleed?
What material properties control the amount of color bleeding for mr shaders? I'm using mental ray in Max to bake lighting, and I want to increase the amount of color bleeding from one surface to another. Is this possible with Final Gather alone? Or do I have to enable Global Illumination? I know with Radiosity and… -

Vista 64bit + Photoshop CS2 & Max 2009
CS2 seems to run decently, or so it seems. Max 2009, though, I am noticing that the selection box that usually appears when you click-and-drag (like it normally should) is a bit lagged and takes awhile to appear. Quite annoying. Anyone experience this? What might be a solution? I hear enabling Aero helps but that doing so… -
Roadless
Normally i don't post news about stuff her or advertise for projects. But this time a friend of mine will need help to create something really helpful to many people on this planet who are not as lucky as we are. Ackeem is developing a wheel that can adapt to many terrain conditions, to enable uninterupted movement in…
