Re: Character rigging for long clothing?
Is the jacket something your character can take on and off? If so how do you plan to handle that? If you're going to combine the meshes or start deleting faces you'll want to be sure to delete non-deformer history before exporting. Actually, on second thought... it's better to copy your meshes, make your mesh edits, delete… -
Re: Having Some trouble getting an Enchantress Headpiece into the game
Make sure to Freeze Transformation>Center Pivot>Delete all History every time after moving the mesh into place and before binding it to the bone using Smooth Bind. Also, are the masks finished? They are the ones responsible for the shading to work in-game. Also make sure that you're saving them as 32bit TGA and that you… -
Re: Can I make this spline sway?
Alright here it is: https://youtu.be/tjAEcof0RaI I simply added the same thing to the lamp material too. The bounding box is the weight, this will work in your case too, as they are one actor. Its also used as the coordinates of the noise, but its made very big, so it distributes a very small area of the noise over the… -
Re: Tron Legacy - Fanart
Hi Selaznog. Thanks man! I'm glad you liked it. I did it this way: 1 - I applied the hair/fur in max using polygon select as base and a line to draw each amount of hair. 2 - Then I transformed it to geometry(like 10 little polygon bases or less of hair). 3 - As geometry I selected the top borders and then I scaled it in… -
Re: Ancient Civilizations : Akahata, The Crabby Demon
Akahata, The Crabby Demon : Wip I've been working on his right arm and put those protections on the arm he uses to strike the enemies. I worked on a concept of resemblance to the arm of a crab and carved some symbols on the surface of the forearm. These symbols have a meaning about strength, transformation and new… -
Re: The Foundry Mari Edge Masking
ahhhh, I see haha. When not clipped by the constraints of the viewport, those icicles are actually right angles, outlining the Paint Buffer. I can see why you refer to them as that tho given that screen shot, heh. Anyway, to prevent the buffer from autoscaling, first set the Scale to '1:1' in Painting > Paint Buffer >… -
Re: Duplicating questions
In max there a numbers of ways to do this, 1. Array Tool (2d Array) 2. Spacing Tool (This can be alone a spline you choose) 3. Hold shift then drag the object in 3D space *(Click on the axis of the transform gizmo X Y or Z to start your drag for a straight line) *(In the popup window choose how many clones you would like… -
Re: Question regarding Lods and drawcalls
Depends on what the bottleneck is in your scene. LODs usually are there to help you reduce draw calls, by using a simpler shader, turning off options you don't need far away, like specular or rim or changing to Lambert, or disabling transparency. If vertex transforms are slowing you down (a forest of trees for example)… -
Re: Maya - Rigging character with separate body parts
Some modeling tasks will leave behind empty transform nodes, or nest meshes into a group (separate, for example). I like to keep my scenes clean and keep everything nicely grouped and named, it makes spotting junk nodes very quick whenever they pop in. Also, if your models are rigged, use delete Non Deformer History to… -
Re: Need some clarity on long thin triangles
I agree that subdividing meshes like this generally won't have a huge performance impact. That said, it is really hard to draw broad conclusions from that kind of testing. Were you transform cost bound in your scene? Were other aspects of the rendering creating parallel latency such that changes might not show up? If you…
