Re: Why you should NOT trust 3ds Max's viewport normal-map display!
some years ago I looked into that stuff when doing the exporters for luxinia, which uses the nvmeshmender to create tangentspace (I could find references to it in the maya sdk code, too). why should the calcs be different for max renderer? Quality! in the scanline renderer you could use a more costly interpolation than in… -
Re: Zombie sculpt (WIP)
Hey JoltZero! Looks like a fun class assignment :) Did your teacher have you use the nickZ tool for your basemesh? I recognized the feet. If it is the nickZ base hopefully your teacher told you about polygroups because they can be super useful in sculpting. If you hit the polyf button you should see a bunch of different… -

Re: Why there are no jobs for blendshapes artists?
In my experience for character blendshapes the principal or lead character artist will create the benchmark blendshapes and the pipeline along with a tech artist to support on setting up the tools, and the character art team will use the pipeline tools and benchmark assets to create the blendshapes for their individual… -
Re: UDK texture blending, terrain mesh
is there any kind of angle/slope node in UDK? or heightnode? in frostbite we use (mainly) a combination of slope/height masks/nodes + some large scale rgb b/w masks to build up our shaders. + the normal diffuse/normalmap yadayada's we then use a maskpaint system that currently support up to 4 materials per 16x16 patch (you… -
Re: Maya - Frame selected in all viewports at once ?

Re: Maya 2012 hotkeys revert to default
I've looked into editing a few script files, but maybe I need to dig deeper. And yea, like you with ctrl+w, it seems certain specific hotkeys seem to be more troublesome than others. (Read : Anything with Z) When I first started to learn Maya, a friend gave me his setup and I grew to really like it. But your right, maybe… -
Re: Upgrade computer or buy a new one
I'd suggest getting something like a GTX 1060 w/ 6GB vram now (about $250 on sale right now), and upgrading the rest of your computer in the next year or so. The CPU is dated, but not really your main bottleneck in Substance Painter. The GPU is going to give you something like 400% better performance, while a new CPU is… -
Re: UDK Mobile Controls
For some reason I cannot upload images to Polycount. I continue to get errors. I meet both the file size requirements and H/W requirements, but no go. Switched to a diff browser as well, tried both jpgs and pngs, but nada. I linked to the UDK forum though, where the images can be viewed. Here is that link again:… -
Re: How To Move Object out from Center of Another Object???
Try using the w+lmb marking menu to set a component axis. Selecting it from there temporarily goes to component mode to pick something to aim at. Or just be in object mode, press D for pivot editing and do your thing (this gets stored into the "custom" axis slot). Here I snapped to grid since it's the center of my sphere,…
