Re: Smooth Groups in Maya
Smoothing Groups are one of those functions Max has been hanging on to since the 80's. Reason may be, the .3DS format does not contain proper vertex normal information. Instead it adds a bit of smoothing group data so that other apps can try to import them. Makes it annoying as an exchange format. Just as reliable as… -
Re: Normal Mapping utility for 3DS MAX 7 and 8!
[ QUOTE ] yeah, i understand the point and that it is an advantage, i just don't think you can use it as a basis to completly putdown another engine. but what you said is true.

Re: new military vehicles & weapons from around the world
Definitely, that's the weak point in all tanks at the moment. If one is immobilized in a contained area it's very easy to damage it further or force it to be abandoned.

Re: the media.
[ QUOTE ] I never heard about this. I only catch the stories about the evildoers blowing themselves up. [/ QUOTE ] That's because you're supposed to be afraid. You wouldn't be afraid of Palestinians if they were all peacefully lying down in front of bulldozers. No, the overwhelmingly RIGHT wing media will only show you… -
Re: Dumpster and other props,
I'd tweak the green to look less like disco green and more like the proper paint you find on those containers and would get rid of all the almost black weatheration. Can you see it anywhere in your reference ? Your prop will thank you if instead of black stuff you add some gray/brownish dirt like in the reference. It will… -

Re: UT2007 Game Footage
a little off topic, but i seemed that when i suggested that ut2k7 should contain more strategic and tactical elements people jumped to the conclusion that it means "realistic" ... i didnt mean another unreal "battlefield" or something of that sort ... but maybe push the envelope of the team deathmatch scenario a bit… -

Re: Sketchbook: BlazefuryX
Hello everyone, it's day 51 of my 180 Day Topology Improvement Journey, and I had an epiphany. I realized that I've been relying too heavily on blueprints and it's stunting my growth as a 3D modeler. So, I decided to challenge myself today and model something from my mom's room - a simple honey container. While the basic… -
