Re: Baking problems - Lightingmap
This looks like a simple skylight setup with the scanline renderer to me. You need to enable the light tracer (under rendering->advanced lighting) to get ao from the skylight. When you want to render out ao with this method, you need to choose "complete map" for output in the RTT. Lighting map is used to store the whole… -
Re: SOLVED: Solo Normal in 3DO
Ahh, custom loader enables me to do what I need by just linking in the active Normal document. Worked in my quick test, at least, I'll try using that in my main workflow and see how well it goes. Thanks guys! PS. I can't, personally, see any situation when using the Photo-Normal Presets from NDO where you'd want to see the… -
Re: Newbie in Blender (Need help to understant low/hight poly)
Use the retopology workflow; place a plane in the world, edit mode, vertex mode, then down the bottom of the 3D viewport click the horseshoe magnet so it's not greyed out, enabling snap. In the dropdown attached to it select face mode. You should now be able to place vertices directly on the model, and join them up to make… -
Re: Zbrush to 3ds Max workflow: Seams become visible when baking normals
Also, why do displacement maps not work when you want to render to texture ? It's not possible to use them ? It just renders a solid black texture when enabled. And lastly, is there a way to bake detail from a normal map uniformly over the surface of the model ? The parts where light hits tends to have almost no details… -
Re: Max Script :Simple thing about SliderTime buuut...
Rollout UI elements can only be defined in the rollout definition and not in any expression that is run. There are ways to accomplish what you want though. One way to to create all the UI elements you need and disable and enable them as needed. (This is the most common method) A similar method is to use their visible… -
Re: Borkiness of 3ds Max's Gridsnap
not sure if at all the grid is the reason for your problems.* - tried pressing the [o] - key ? (switch mode: hide objects while dragging ) * - install updates (1. gfx card , if that does not help: 2. update from autodesk aka service pack) * - setup the viewport clipping manually (viewport label > right click > enable… -
Re: Oculus Quest
It also depends if Oculus, Epic and Unity starts fully enabling Vulkan API into the Oculus Quest pipeline. I believe once this integration is successful- it will open a lot of interesting capabilities as it was promised by the Khronos group- I also believe the future of gaming platforms ( which already is ) and VR gaming… -
Re: ATI and maya incompatability.

Try downloading this Plugin for Maya http://www.highend3d.com/f/3739.html You have to enable it in the plugin manager, then you can create a cgfx shader and load a default configuration out of the installed folder cfg files. It can display… -
Re: New Member - Simple Gas Tank
Looks nice and welcome to Polycount! The only worry I have with your model at present is the sides, when smoothed they will have errors because of the 90 degree angles and all those tris. Recommend chamfering the sides and keeping quads near the edges. To compensate against the extra faces you could detach the handles and… -
Re: A better way of aligning an edge/vertex on a certain axis in 3d max?
If you need to align a single vertex to another one along one axis you can already do it in Max by enabling 3d Snap, in its options (right click on Snap button in main toolbar and choose panel options) make sure all checks in Translation sections are on, then select your vertex and drag it by grabbing the axis, over the…
