Re: First/Second/Third party?
Hmmm, my understanding is slightly different: 1st party is the same. 2nd party means there are two parties involved, usually a publisher other than the hardware manufacturer and the hardware manufacturer.

3ds Max and Edge Cleanup

Here I have an example incase I'm not clear. You see I have these two boxes next to each other and they have it where lots of edges to it. Now if I wanted to… -
Pixel Shaders?
I'm very new to 3D graphics so excuse my lack of knowledge. So from what I understand, there does exist a technique that modifies each polygon's/sprite's colour at an individual pixel level. So in theory, it should be possible to tell a computer to colour each character/object as according to a concept art right? However,… -
[Solved] AO artifacts when baking in SD

However I have found that these types of shapes in the following screenshots are confusing me as to how to set it up. Rock shapes and repeating patterns like bricks are easier to setup. Example 1:… -
Tutorial : Photo Source To Normal Map Patterns
Recently I have been using this workflow and I created a write up on how its used. The high level of it involves converting a tile-able photo source to normal map, then creating a pattern of the normal map. These patterns are then able to be quickly applied as an overlay normal map onto an already existing normal map. As… -
What is the best method for (Textures/Decals) with alphas in 3Dsmax?
I am texturing a hard surface modeled figure and want to add decals in a separate layer (Graphics etc). What is the best method for adding the decals? I know I have to use to Bitmap inputs (One for the image RGB with the pre-multiplied option disabled) and one for the Alpha (With Mono Channel Output on Alpha). Then use the… -

The padding of all the floaters stays inside of the UV island...the bar for example,…
