Re: Warrior - 3D Character Model - Science Fiction
Hello, kanga! Thanks for the feedback, it was really interesting to hear that. Thank you for the high appreciation of my technical skills. Can you tell me in more detail what exactly you (and perhaps the audience) didn't like about the lighting and the environment? Regarding your question: no, I did all this work in Zbrush… -
Re: Maya: AO to Vertex Colors?
Thanks, this is a good suggestion but it introduces dependancies (MentalRay and a third-party plug-in). I managed to get TURTLE to render out good results but it required quite a lot of reverse-engineering. I went through the MEL-callbacks via the Script Editor, looked up the MEL-scripts and found the final command that is… -
Re: UV Distortions
you need to do some render to texture jiggery pokery ii'm afraid.... first create a object of a single face of the arch. and add planar map to it, render the template of the uv's out so you have the shape of the segement, Draw/scale the a brick texture in to this so it looks like how you want the final result. something… -
Re: Snowboarder Girl, next gen character
Hey everyone, it's been a while! I've had a lot of work on since starting this. I was originally rendering her in cryengine 3, but it was a pain in the ass, and I wasn't happy with the results I was getting, so I put her on the backburner. However, with marmo 2 out now, I've had much more success, so she's pretty much… -
Re: Texture Baking issues
Which app? What you see in the render preview window is a full render that includes the scene lighting. If you don't have lights in your scene then this is the one light that follows the viewport camera around, a bit like a light on a minisub exploring the Titanic. Where ever it shines will be lit up. If you where to view… -
Re: Templer's Hideout
@Target_Renegade: Lighting setup is just an ambientlight, a sunlight and some omni lights. Values for them vary for each different screen. It's rendered in the default 3ds max scanline renderer with a little bloom effect to give it a more game-like feeling. @erik!: Agreed, I think I've copy and pasted to many ivy planes at… -
Re: Belldroid
I'm not sure but perhaps the GeForceFX supports OpenGL's shading language(GLSL). Perhaps you can try to change the xNormal's default graphics driver to OpenGL ( instead of DX9 ) and you'll get shadows... but perhaps it's a tool old card so GLSL could be not supported. In fact, my FX5200 does not suport it ... I'm not sure… -
Re: Awesome tutorial from DW 4 winner!
One thing I would love to know is, how did he get that fantastic turntable render from Mental Ray with his game model? I have Maya 2009 and would love to get something like that happening, but all of my game model renders in mental ray look weird- kind of out of focus with the detail blurred and softened like there's a… -
Re: Hair techniques
Yep, you just put a small tiling greyscale pattern in your shader and map it in screenspace so 1 pixel on the pattern == 1 screen pixel. if your pattern was 4x4 pixels you would do something like this (unless I fail at math, which I do): float2 patternUVs;patternUVs.x = (screenUVs.x/screenWidth)*4.0;patternUVs.y =… -
Re: 256 Town
In Unity, set the Filter Mode on the texture to Point. In Sketchfab you can set the texture filtering to Nearest. In 3DS Max, to make your renders not filter the textures go to Renderering/Render Setup.../ and turn off Filter Maps. To fix your viewport you have to first go to Customize/Preferences.../Viewports/Choose…
