Re: [3DC/Max] Why is it so hard to bake this wall?
I ended up taking this wall, painted in 3D Coat, and exporting it along with its maps. In Max I created a texture-capture plane, and of course I tiled the walls together and set everything up for baking, technicalities and all. Then I made a standard material, applied it, and set its diffuse map to be the diffuse map that… -
Re: [ZBrush to Substance Painter] Workflow question
Hey mate, You need 2 mesh to start texturing in Substance, your low poly and your high poly. You low poly must have UV. The topology can be crappy but you need proper UV. You import your low poly in painter and then in the Baking Section you just have to plug your high poly and bake all your map. You don't really have to… -
Re: Leadwerks engine sample level design: The Zone
I've got an important question for those that are more versed in 3ds Max than I am: is there a function or downloadable Max Script that will scale an entire model by a decimal amount? My units in Max aren't translating correctly into Leadwerks (despite modeling in meters in Max), so I've been using the "Scale X: 0.01"… -
Re: Weird blotches in Nifskope - need some advice
So the past 4 days have been hair pulling to me, models from Modo have not been exporting correctly for some odd reason into the Skyrim 'creation kit' via nifskope. Pixel recommended that i start testing with primitive shapes (cubes etc) and STILL was having issues. I quickly figured it was a material problem for whatever… -
Re: Scifi portfolio level, UDK
Hey, responding from your DA note. First things first. Post a shot of your uv's and the wireframe model so we can see what we're working with. Also, even with today's next gen systems, 2048xanything is pretttty huuuge for a door like that. If I understand your question correctly, you want to use the same uv space, but have… -
Re: workflow critique
Since the workflow above had flaws in it, I updated it below based on what you guys added: -put together rough concept and collect reference -model dense enough control mesh -unwrap (for better results when editing in 2d) -export to Zbrush -make poly mesh 3d, assign groups, GUV tiles (if not unwrapped), and create a morph… -
Re: INTO THE 3RD DIMENSION!
The method I use when mirroring, which to me is a little simpler than the other suggestions, is in the Hierarchy panel, turn on 'Affect Pivot Only' then just type in the value in the transformation boxes on whichever axis you're mirroring on. If you're working to the world origin then obviously just slap a 0 in there. You… -
Re: Japanese Zen / Stone Garden
ATM, my pipeline is like this... Maya, make rough base of my model, Export as obj, import to ZBrush, sculpt the shit out of it, export from ZBrush, retopologize in 3D Coat, export new retopologized mesh, UV it in Maya and Headus UV Layout, go to xNormal, load my LP and HP, bake a normal map, occlusion map and convexity map… -
Max2Hammer
I know some of you are doing HL2 mods, so I have a question. Has anyone successfully created a character for a Half Life 2 mod in Max and got it working in Hammer? The only exporter I've been able to find is Cannonfodder's Half-Life 2 tools and there's barely any documentation. The only thing it says about the smd exporter… -
Custom material plugin for Max?
We're updating our 3ds Max material export pipeline, and we're thinking about coding a custom material that streamlines just the options we need to support for our game engine. Awhile back I did some research into using MXS to customize a material, but it seemed people encountered quite a few pitfalls with insufficient…
