Re: HardSurface/NURBS in 2019
@cptSwing That tool looks great! from the looks of it he created a plugin from the ground up. @musashidan 2019, I have used the spline tools and they certainly help with modelling, especially for getting equal segments across a curve, then you can loft/extrue it, or convert it to a NURBS object, and yeah, NURBS in max sux.… -
Re: Is box-modeling a dying technique?
I usually start from a Quadball Sphere (a box subdivided!? omg!), and the rest is all bevels, bridges, cuts, and extrusions (basic operations). Sometimes i use other subdiv primitives i created, or a bunch of useful subdiv objetcs i have as base models (libraries and mesh parts re-utilization). So, yes, i still do… -
Re: 3ds Max Modeling Dinosaur Teeth and Eyes
Your questions are actually just specific for dinosaurs since a lot of people actually do those methods you mentioned for characters. 1a. Model with a purpose. What is the benefit of either or? If you model with separate teeth, they will look mode believable and also its will be easy to clone and use as modular objects.… -
Re: Enhance the normal map
It should, but you've got hard edges where you don't need any. As for the shitty bake, I'm pretty sure it's because your cage is wrong - did you give it some global extrusion by editing the cage in xN's viewport? You should have use cage ticked and Use Exported Normals selected on the lowpoly in xN. I think you're not… -
Re: Epoch from Chrono Trigger
its a shame that youre not going to do this proper and build a high poly to bake from. Right now you're 80% to what it should really look like and not sure how your going to get some of the shapes in your normal map by painting. Not sure what version your going off.. the concept or the actual game sprite? Personally the… -
Re: Spring 2014 Spirit Breaker
Not really holes, i was thinking more of rice paper thingy on the window. I had an extrusion tho, on lod0 but i had to squeeze that for the 600 tris limit (im actually at 598 D: ). Note that valve model is 754 tris, unfair ! But yeah i'd like particles emission, so i don't really know what to do. Looks like i can't export… -
Re: Iron Knight AKA Destroyer
A few things: - How is the armor attached to the person? It has weight and that should show through in the design and on the final model. As it is, it looks like you took a base mesh made some extrusions and called it good. Are the straps old fashion buckle and loops, is it DD rings, are they some kind of space age… -
Re: Star Wars - Redemption ( FanMade Project )
Hey there ! A WIP post this time ^^ Cosmetics. Yep. Let's talk about them for Star Wars - Redemption. First of all don't worry, I don't plan on going in a "modern" way to incorporate everything from other universes inside the project. The goal remains consistent with Mevenn's story/character and aims just to give more… -
Texturing Buildings for a game engine in Maya2012?
Hi. I am trying to figure out the how to go about texturing buildings for a game engine, using tilable textures. I've used Google Sketchup, and love how you can just click with the paint bucket, to paint a texture, and it will line it up around edges. So easy! You can click each face you want to paint the texture to… -
Max 2009 - Cloning in place. . .
yes, the issue has arisen again. This time I HAVE to figure out a way around it. Cryptic just upgraded from Max 8 to 2k9. I (like many) have been using Shift-LMB to clone objects, and more importantly, sub-objects in place, for as long as I can remember. In max 2008, they removed this feature. You can Shift-Drag to clone…
