max 2010 - RTT specular acting weird
So usually Max renders out the spec color fine and the spec level has no bearing. Now I cant render colors and the spec is changing what I want to render out. Help file says it will only render the color. anyone come across this? -
Re: *Webley MK VI .445 Service Revolver*
I believe the gun is painted, so only where the paint is wearing thin will there be a more "conductor" like appearance. The reflections/spec are cooler than the diffuse/reddish color of the gun metal, though it's hard to tell if it's actually blue or white, I'd try a red diffuse and whiter spec. In the red diff/blue spec… -
Mythic employees (WAR specific).
just curious, if you can say. or at least confirtm some specs for me? i'm thinking that most war characters tend to range from 2000-3000 triangles, with a 512 diffuse + spec map? is that about right? basically, i'm looking to model some WAR spec characters for a project. -
Re: Specular map master thread - The hidden art behind the awesomesauce.
Vahl: OH SNAP :D "and if you didn't consider them that way, you'd have added the grease and dirt present in your diffuse and other things that would have broken the specular's uniformity, thus would have made the material much more interesting and good looking that what you have now." But that is exactly what I am doing,… -
Re: Ph0n0GRAPH
Coloured spec is fairly straightforward for the most part. If you want an unsaturated highlight that tends towards white, your spec colour should be the opposite colour from the diffuse. That's why people often use a blueish/purple as their spec for flesh tones. Invert a flesh colour in Photoshop, and you'll get a… -
Re: re gamma correction in max
Spec colour's an oddity because it's not technically realistic in a physical sense (most surfaces don't affect specular colour as they're dielectric - metals and such follow a specific equation to calculate their effect on the colouring they give to their lighting) so if you're going for the realism of gamma correct… -
Re: PBR Roughness/Metallic vs Specular/Gloss
Thanks guys! Yea that really makes sense. I'm using toolbag right now. Yea this gens terminology has been so crazy. I get so lost converting maps sometimes. I'm a texture artist at Gametextures.com and our goal is to get all the mats to look similar in all the engines, but at the same time get the best look/quality… -
Re: PowerPreview: High Quality Nitrous Previews (3ds Max)
I’m using it in Max 2025. I really just change a couple settings before hitting Go… adjust the interval to 1 sec, set resolution to 1920x1080, and point the directory and the file type to PNG. -
Final-year project, I need YOUR feedback on augmented AI shader tools in the workflow
Important ask❗-> I need your professional help. I’m a final-year student, researching the realities of augmented AI tools in optimising UE5 shader pipelines for large scale projects, specifically AAA scale. It’s the last home stretch towards submitting, and it’s important to me for everyone to have their say in; “Are you… -
Re: Unreal Developer Kit - MASTER THREAD
OX - Spec level and spec color are the same thing, in max the shader just does Spec Color * Spec Level, you could do this in UE before you plug in spec color if you really want but having seperate maps is pointless, you could just do spec color map * some intensity scalar elementrix, the default color lookup looks…
