What's the lightmap res for the ground mesh? Changing the resolution for the objects doesn't change the shadow they cast on other objects, only how detailed shadows the object itself receives.
Remember that most exporters work in relation to the object center, not the world origin and moving around the objects won't do anything, you have to move the object data around.
I am using auto rig pro, it has the best weight paint read for rigging the mesh along with versatility of creating new bones that are converted into deforming rig bones without any bugs, in contrast to rigify. I am currently animating a pony. I would prefer to take the pony step by step and orient the entire objects…
Wow, what a long title... So I'm making an exploded mesh for baking in xNormal, with the method of pulling elements apart in an animation, by either: *Moving whole objects. My hi-poly is separated into objects and uses this method. *Moving elements and giving them a shape key, then animating the value. I did this with my…

If you have questions about the job, feel free to ask them on this thread. About me: I have over 10 years experience in the 3D Industry,…
Few question that I'm not sure regarding texture optimization, I don't know where to begin so it's best I state a few example that I have in mind. I actually started to ask myself these when I was asked to seperate the leaves and tree bark texture into two map which explained to me the reason why was as the leaves being…

Hello everyone. I'm extremely new to 3ds max so I plead that you just bear with me. :) My object originally was made up of 19 separate editable meshes and had a multi/sub object material applied like so: http://i.imgur.com/WKgyvUe.png http://i.imgur.com/wjmtLff.png I then attached the meshes all together to create a single…
Your final triangle count for the low poly car body element, tells me that this object may be targeted toward VR output or perhaps a smart mobile form factor? Anyway assuming if indeed the case, then high-flow baking strategy as much detail down is what I'd recommend. However notable artifacts here are actually related to…
I'm trying to mirror a group of objects without merging them to the parent geometry. However, even though I have the merge geometry check box unchecked, it still merges the geometry together as one object instead of separate objects. Am I missing something I'm supposed to be doing?
