Re: Normal maps and smoothing group woes
The myth that bevel edges = same performance is WRONG. For two very important reasons: A. Vert count is important, but triangle count is also important, vert count may be more important but traingales are certainly not free. Adding bevels instead of smoothing groups will result in worse performance, this is a fact. It may… -
Re: Creating LoDs
Nothing really beats reducing polys by hand in any app. But there are some pretty good plug-ins available that do a pretty good job of reducing polys. I'm not sure what 3D app you're using but there is one for 3dsMax called PolyCruncher that does a pretty good job at not messing up your UV's, but can mess up the topology… -
Re: 3DSMax 2011
I haven't noticed a difference in the cut tool but then I stopped having trouble with it around max2008. If I had to guess you're trying to cut/create edges in vert mode? Try cutting/creating edges in edge or poly mode and see if that is any better. Next check the scale of your scene and the snap settings. It would be… -
Re: [3D Pimp] UT2004 Playermodel Lupine Male
This is a hard thing to do Scott; give an animal a humanesque stance and demeanour. But i think you've pulled it off. The armour looks a little 'airbrushed' right now. I Perhaps it just needs some texture. Still perhaps it wont really matter If it's getting an env. map. As for the edge flow issue, well, it's not nearly as… -
Re: Problem with wires and smooth stuff.
Select the faces that make up the planar area on the front, right-click, and disconnect the components. This may make the beveled area appear two hard though, so you'll have to add an extra edge-loop so that the beveled top/bottom ends up planar with the disconnected faces. Notice the normals where the flat face meet the… -
Re: Building detailing
Yeah, I'm still working on the 1 spot, I just threw a couple pieces together to present the idea a bit better. I do have about half of the edges chamfered, still have more to do, but don't want to make them all where they bake in the same way either. I have quite a bit more sub-d than what's really noticeable in the… -
Re: Speed Model Thread TIMELESS AND DATELESS FOR UNTIL THE END OF TIME
Currently in the process of modifying an old mesh, initially modeled using an explicit subdivided workflow too a low poly object via bevel edge weights, weighted normals, edge split with additional subsurf at lvl 1 (...for circular shapes) so at least subjectively, a 'quickie' nonetheless : # -
Re: Best practices when creating assets specifically for Nanite
Yes, adding "unnecessary" edge loops to floors and walls in particularly helps them cull other nanite meshes behind them better. -
3DsMax script help
hi, do you know the script make our selected edges hard or soft or 50% in 3dsmax by setting hotkey?! i want texture my asset and use ctrl+s to make my selected edges soft or ctrl+h to make my edges hard and ... i search script spot and other but there is no script for that. plz help me tnx -
