Re: 3ds Max: Maintaining spherical width when turbosmoothing?
Volume doesn't matter if you're baking a normal map. Unless the model has some deep cuts. Shrinkage is how subdivision works. Think of the vertices of your low-res model as being like magnets. The closer together the vertices, the stronger they will pull the subdivided mesh towards the original surface. So yes, you'll need… -
Re: So the average salary for a job in canada's game industry is $77,300 a year.
I just went and actualy read the article and it makes total sense to me. They say that yes, a large majority of the studios in canada are indie devs, but almost all of them have less that 25 employees.

Re: normal map depth question
I think part of that is that there's not enough tangent data on the low to capture it (that normal is casting at a 45º angle, between the two faces, if it's got 1 smoothing group), but it could be the rear distance raycast setting. You can adjust that setting in xNormal. -

Re: Starting A Portfolio

And you might be able to argue that it is next gen... but man lol I am doing a full blown motorcycle in around that much. In any… -

Re: Draw on surface extend
If you don't know what Reset XForms means then that's probably the issue. Objects in 3ds Max have scale and rotation data stored at the object level. Non-Uniform and negative scale will typically cause problems with modeling, baking, and game engines. You can read more about it here:… -
Re: I just bought 3dsmax15, the Relax tool is broken?
Sounds like you just needed to Reset XForms. Attaching to a new box has the same effect. From now on can just press Reset XForms > Reset Selected in the Utility Panel. http://knowledge.autodesk.com/support/3ds-max/learn-explore/caas/CloudHelp/cloudhelp/2015/ENU/3DSMax/files/GUID-B98414B9-4F28-45F4-A1F4-9DA994548ED9-htm.html -
