Re: [3DSMAX] Something similar to Blender Mesh-machine Offset Cut?
IMHO as soon as you do a boolean, you no longer have clean HS topology. I think retopo really could be the best option. Some examples https://cganimator.com/3dsmax-2021-3-retopology-modifier-quick-start-part-2/ -
Re: Fight Animation for demo reel
@_adamturnbull and @pascalie thank you both so much for that feedback! I have added a new version to the same link in the OP. The punches have been re-timed 1-2 Pause 1-2 timing with the first 2 punches been very snappy and quick then the other 2 been slightly slower and heavier feeling. Definitely feels better. I have… -
Re: Sketchbook: Marak
I was browsing flash games recently and found one called Bubble tanks 2, it's a great game where you have a small tank made of bubbles and fire at other tanks to steal theirs. The more bubbles you steal, the more your tank grows until you advance to the next level. The game can be found here:… -

Re: Useful UDK HLSL Trick
I would use a simple approach. Basically all you have to do is : ( 1 - glossiness ) * numofmipmaps. In my case it's 7. My setup : If your are using phong or blinn you might want to multiply your glossiness by 128 in order to get a range of 0 - 1 to avoid value like 180 or 200. But with a cook torrance or a spherical… -
Re: 3DS Max: UV Script to weld Overlapping vertices.
It can easily be done as a script (or at least synchronizing the vert positions can be). The problem is processing the data quickly. Maxscript is not a fast language, and iterating over and matching the positions of thousands / tens of thousands of vertices could take a long time. Anyhow, here's a simple/unoptimized script… -
Re: [3dsmax] UVW seams to Smoothing Groups?
Here's a script "UV borders to hard edges". The algorithm is quite simple: 1) Select UV borders (used part of Renderhjs' script for Roadkill uwrapping) 2) Convert UV edges selection to EditPoly edges selection (Max is a real pain in the ass!) - my part of the script 3) Make smoothing groups in hard edges style (used script… -
Tutorial Hoarder's Dump / Collage of tutorials hoarded over time
Greetings fellow Polycounters! I've had a stupid habit of trying to 'backup' nearly the entire supply of tutorials the internet has to offer, regarding game art, on my hard drive. In this thread I've tried to organize the unmanageable mess that I've made, into a somewhat readable/presentable form. Tried to pretty much post… -
