Hey everyone, thanks for the responses - there's a wide-range of insight here that is more than helpful! SO, in summary it's looking like texture resolution and the number of drawcalls should be considered when modeling while vertex count is something to be considered for hero assets and mobile games. I did not know that…
Isn't this available in the header next to the widgets selection area? I typically always have it set to normal even though I never use the widgets because it really easily allows me to know my local and normal axis. Instead, when in normal mode I use g+z+z to grab along the normal's axis. This should work with the above…
Hey Keg, I just downloaded it here are my results/thoughts. Interface Issues* You have the UK/US color and colour in the color menu. * You say press color to choose, which can be confusing. Does one press the name color or the color on the side? * If Wireframe can only be supported alone, it should auto disable the other…
I have sidebar gadgets on my desktop which tell me how much ram etc. is being used. I was just doing some testing and I noticed something unusual. If I have the scene open with just one of my objects visible I can see my gpu is maxed and the ram usage is at about 400mb. As I unhide the remaining textured objects not much…
The mod is going to be a mixture of physics based puzzles similar to the currently half life 2 genre. And incorporating the Lucas Arts puzzle adventure game style (monkey island, sam and max, full throttle etc). An inventory system will be set up and players will pick up and use items in the game world. Unique animations…
Here's a quick way to to it procedurally in Max using pflow, it might work for you (if you're using max :P) : Build a couple tiny pebble models of various sizes. Convert to editable poly and combine them into a single object using attach. You can unwrap and texture them if you want, it may help for baking later. Throw down…
[ QUOTE ] I got a problem when baking my normal maps, I got small red dots that I can't get rid of. I have discover that small object can cause this, but now I really don't know how to fix the remaining dots. My cage don't cross these areas so I don't know what to do. Someone got an idea? [/ QUOTE ] 3dsmax can act stangely…
ahh yes Material ID that would be another good way to handle it. I've been away from Max for a full week and already the lingo is leaking out of my brain hahaha. If you can't use mat id's or smoothing groups then the element option might work. Here's the nuts and bolts of how it goes. In Edit poly you can select the faces…
I see) Then it could be a golf ball or Globe. I'm interested in the technique of creating such a texture/material from real object. I understand that I can spin the ball on an axis and take photos from multiple angles. But what to do with them next? Main question for me: How to sew them together into one whole and how to…
