Re: Did something with Max2013 change in the last 24 hrs or so?
Deleted max.ini and let the program write a new one on subsequent boot. No good. Repaired install. No good. Deleted install and REinstalled (did that literally hours ago) No good. Considering rolling back to the 2012 version which would be horrible because most all of the stuff I've been working on for the last month and a… -
Re: Rig finished, Now need to paint weights correctly
The proper way to do cloth just takes time and effort. The games you mention have large teams with dedicated technical artists. Take Batman's cape in Arkham City: http://m.cgw.com/Publications/CGW/2011/Volume-34-Issue-9-Dec-Jan-2012-/Mean-Streets.aspx If you want to go through all that trouble no problem. All I said was… -
Re: Skip Orthographic view in 3dmax
Ah, could be, I'm using 2011 (and we know how awesome 2010 was at 'fixing' things). I have 2009 on a different computer I can try tomorrow, but I think I remember it doing the same thing. Yes, those are the commands I am using (I listed max vpt persp user in my first post), but same result. Will advise tomorrow, and thanks… -
Re: MageMaze
Haha, great to hear! :) We started this game in february 2010 I believe. 2011 was a bad year for us due to personal issues, but we started full gear again last december. It also took so long because I'm a retard and I coded almost everything myself (AI, Inventory/Item system, GameState management, Sound Manager, etc...).… -
Re: Website for beginners?
I know what you mean. I remember posting my portfolio like around 2010 and got destroyed. Didn't post after until like 2012 lol when I redid my portfolio and felt comfortable I knew at least a little of what I was doing on environment art. Either way, just post your art. You'll get some feedback, no matter what. -
Re: Need help with Normal mapping and UVs
What version of maya are you using? Mirrored normal maps have worked fine in "high quality" and "viewport 2.0" render modes since at least 2011. Any version since 2012 (possibly before) supports mirrored normal maps with maya hardware rendering. Using mental ray to render should work fine as long as you check "use maya… -
Re: Solved: missing some Base Materials- Problem
I'm not sure I see anything wrong here other than you not having a project loaded. At any rate I would recommend using CS6 or higher (up to 2018) instead of CS5, which is a problematic version for a variety of reasons. Let me know if upgrading Photoshop helps. I personally use 2014 since no newer version of Photoshop has… -
Re: Maya DX 11 Preview
I don't know, I was always pleased with Maya viewport. Maya always had the high resolution one that would show the right normal map results, I could setup lots of lights and actually render it out in 16xAA with the hardware. The real problem is that Autodesk is now trying to implement new things and Maya 2012 and 2013 are… -
Re: Yak-17
Thanks bbob, I agree with you now that I look at it. Makes it look too much like a painting. A technical question, does anyone know anyway to export .ase files from Maya2011? Actorx's 2010 plugin doesn't work and they have yet to come out with a 2011 version... I've been sending .objs to my friends to export it for me and… -
Importing rigs from older versions of 3ds Max
Hi Polycount, I'm currently trying to import a rigged and animated Falcon model into 3ds Max 2017 (I think the model itself was produced in 2013) but I get a list of errors about the BindPose which means that all of the rig controls don't work and the wings don't flap. Can anyone advise me on what I should change or if…
