Re: Quick Texture sheet question
Sorry i forgot to tell you, you dont need multiple uv Channels, you can do it with one, by massive overlapping. And you need to assign multiple material ID's, and using multi/subobject material (if you are using max).And don't try to assign all the textures inside one material in UDK:)Doubleclick to your model in the… -
Re: Maya low poly wireframe render on high poly mesh
Each render layer you make stores any custom shader assignment you do to that layer only, so you could just dupe the shader and assign different maps to it and only assign that shader to objects on that layer. Is you click between the layers you'll see the shaders change, if you want to batch render it will render out both… -
Re: Smoothing With Modo
MODO does have smoothing groups, but they're a bit shonky (they don't blend together particularly well) and there is no Max-like UI for it. You can assign them to your polygon selection via "Geometry > Polygon > Set Smoothing Group..." or you can assign that command (poly.setSmooth) to a button and call it from there. You… -
Re: UE4 material colors based on factions ?
there's plenty of ways. if you only need something very simple you could set up a material instance per faction and assign it based on faction at construction time. for something that supports lots of factions or multiple material changes you probably want to build a datatable/dataAsset off a faction:material struct and… -
Re: Baking/Smoothing Groups Question
I think we're mixed up here. :tongue: I have my smoothing groups assigned, THEN I uvw modifier, select faces by sg, and project/unfold and done... I don't assign a smoothing group while unwrapping, if that is what you are thinking. Basically, I assign SG's prior, so it's easier for me to select faces, rather than manually… -
Re: Solved: Can not link ID color map to materials
The Link button is seen with tutorials made with Suite 1.8 or earlier. Color ID assignment is now done inside of 3DO: SHIFT+C+LMB on a color opens the Smart Material browser to immediately assign a Smart Material to individual colors. C+LMB on a color assigns an existing Material, Smart Material, Color Layer, Group, or… -
3Ds Max shortcut Issue
Hey 3Ds Max user, I have a question for you, I looked a video from Arimus on youtube about shortcut and he is assigning Shift+x Shift+y Shift+z to Align xyz Shift+y and Shift+z are working but Shift+x still changing the edge constraints even if it's not assigned to edge constraints. Shift+V is assign to edge constraint I… -
Ask A Fellow Polycounter - "Maya Mental Ray Issue"
This one I really need help with... I've finished my new portfolio scene with shader maps assigned to and all but when I booted up to do final renders today, Mental Ray suddenly could not render. The script editor said it's out of memory, I tried restarting and optimize scene size but nothing is helping it. This is what my… -
Re: Does anyone use checklists to verify model integrity?
Fantastic list! Few more: - Ensure you're not using duplicate or extraneous textures, and all textures are assigned to the correct path (aka not your desktop): (Shift+T) - Ensure your skinning has assigned the proper bone affect limit (usually 4 for most games I've worked on, not the default '20' assigned by max). - Ensure… -
Re: Quick back and forth between Modifiers? (Max)
Ott: I assigned my own custom hotkey to "show end result" and to: "Use NURMS Subdivision" (under Subdivision Surface of Edit Poly) because it was annoying manually clicking it in the rollout. The only problem for me is there is no way to assign a hotkey to the "Show Cage" box in that same rollout and I always have to turn…
