Re: Maya 2017 modeling toolkit grayed out.

Re: Modern Warfare 2
ahh cool, never tried hardcore mode before till now~ It actually brings a whole different type of gameplay, a lot less looking at minimap and more time concentrating on the environment instead. I like the friendly fire being enabled too, makes it more exciting :p Sneaking around pwning everything with a pistol makes me… -
Re: a couple of models
On the viewport grabs it's just a standard max mat set to 60 spec, 16 gloss. For the renders it's truly nothing fancy, I take a quick render with an extremely dark material (10,10,10 this time) but a high spec, you can give the specular any colour you'd like here it doesn't matter. Then apply a light basic material with a… -
Re: 3dsmax edge-cut tool weirdness
Cut tool is iffy. Like Vig says, enable 3d snap - I keep it on snapping to vertices if that's what I'm cutting between (also avoids creating unwanted verts aaalmost at the target vert). Sometimes (read: every other time) you have to change around how you cut, like going from where you intended to go and cut backwards. That… -
Re: Recomended ways to texture a normal mapped model?
Thats assuming spacemonkey has doom3. I know he has Max, so I'm working from there (assuming version 7!). Are you running direct X as your display driver? If so you can turn on direct X shared for the material and see it in real time. You need a DX 9 (Or is it 8?) enabled gfx card. However - this is not great because a)… -
Re: Grid snapping in max!
sounds cool MoP! Is it going to work like the grid helper objects in max but not as clumsy or bugged to use? It would be a nice feature to have if it was a true 3D grid. As it is, having to fake it with grid helper objects sucks, and it doesn't help that only one grid helper can be enabled at a time, who thinks up this… -
Re: Max 7 normal map viewport issues...
Do you have a Skylight in the scene? If so, delete it - it will stop the normalmaps showing up. If not... hmm, check you have the latest version of DirectX installed, make sure your viewport renderer is set to DirectX9, and make sure you have enabled the DX Display of Standard Material, with your normal map in the "normal"… -
Re: Does vertex painting a mesh make it unique?
I don't remember what version it came in but it's in 4.26/4.27 - you might need to enable the setting somewhere. it'll batch static mesh actors/components where they use the same mesh and lod level - it appeared to work when the meshes were inside blueprint actors but I wouldn't commit my reputation to that one. it's worth… -
Chaos Engine - more docs, info and testing?
I've been trying to get into their destruction engine that was released with 4.23. We're now at 4.25.1 and there's little improvement on the official docs out there - their instructions on how to enable it weren't even updated for the latest version, and many people report having problems to even make it work. Do you know… -
Displacement destroys model
I'm having a hard time with Marmoset. I'd like to put my baked normal map onto my mesh, and then add displacement with a height map that I have from Substance Painter after the fact. However, whenever I set my displacement to height and plug in the texture, it just destroys the model completely. I even tried enabling the…
