So the specs are on the apple site, any thoughts? it says the graphics processing is up to 9 x faster, I dont know how that can even be possible? Theres no new screen so its still 1024x768 but now its got some high power graphics and processor chips so if this is the last version without the retina screen this could be the…
I have this low poly truck I had to do , but for some reason the baked textures on the door are coming out brighter than the rest of the truck and I cannot figure out why. I am using nothing but default lighting when I bake and I am only baking the normals and diffuse channels. This is done using Max 9. Any ideas as to why…
I cant get dxt5nm normal maps to display normal maps correctly in the viewpoint with the metalshader in max 9.. I guess it doesn't know about the alpha channel containing some of the depth, so its only showing the rgb. Is there some trick I need to do to get this to work? Or would this all be dependent on the cards drivers…
Hi! I'm building up 3d 'isometric' tiles for a game. They should be used to form an environments together. I want to keep it in a cartoon style which was inspired by Joe Keller. My first try is at forest environment. The tiles should be low poly no more than 50-60 tris. Here is what I got now - there are 9 (3x3) tiles on…
Ok, we've upgraded to Max 2012 (from Max 9) here at the office. It looks like I can no longer Shift Click an object (or Gizmo) to create a copy of that object in it's exact location. I can still Shift Drag an object (or Gizmo) to create a copy but that moves the mesh which is undesirable for my needs. How can I fix this or…
Yes, node groups and M are super cool, also an ability to auto-connect nodes and use Blender hot keys. I also like how I shouldn't care of color vs grayscale inputs. Blender recognizes the right one by itself . As for 9 points I rather need an ability to scale bitmaps around precisely placed center of transform , like…
What an amazing movie. No words will do justice on trying to describe the vision and execution of this movie. All characters have something interesting about them. The colors, and composition, the sequences, and how badass everyone is. Just bliss. I really loved it, and you guys should go watch it if you have not.…
Hey man, the first thing I noticed was the lack of vertical motion on the front and back of the horse. There also seems to be too much movement on the horses head. If you haven't already, check out this Richard Williams animation sheet and some reference videos of horses running and take note of how much movement there is…
Okay, So you mean it is better to make them by hand in 3DS Max for objects like buildings? Two questions: 1) Really how many LOD levels are effective for performance? I saw games with 2 levels and some other games with 9 LOD levels!! 2) Is Unity3D able to make LOD meshes automatically? once I google searched and found…
To a certain a degree, but not completely. The terrorists of the 9/11 attack oddly enough trained partially on Mixrosoft Flight Simulator. http://www.tampabay.com/features/humaninterest/i-was-a-victim-too-says-author-whose-flight-school-trained-911-terrorists/1187734 (here, two of the perpetrators bought the software for…
