Re: Game animation
I've edited and created kfs/nif/kfms from that era. You might need to put in some effort to get a pipeline working as it was never eaxtly easy. What I used to use was the old civtools for civ4 and max 8 for exporting animations (as it produced nearly working kfs compared to niftools ver at the time), then nifskope to piece… -
Re: Monthly Environment Art Challenge - November & December 2018 (57)
Might have jumped the shark and started going TOO detailed on the handle. @Maximum-Dev, as far as having a metallic map applied, I do have it, but I toned it down a bit in the earlier renders. Good going to @Zerogun and @cerverus94 on starting your entries! I hope to be able to multi-project this challenge and hopefully… -
Re: Learning proper use of UVs in 3ds Max. Need help
In the edit poly modifier under the poly sub object you can assign material ID. Select the ploys you want to be 2nd material and assign them to that id (2 or something), then rise repeat for id 3 etc. then create your multi/subobecject material and put the different materials in to match the poly ids. you dont need… -
Re: Fox's Workshop Thread
Thanks guys <3 I'll drum up some more solo items after I finish some concepts for other collabs. Mihalceanu, go for it! Would you mind if I touched it up a bit first, though? Looking at it now, I think it might be better if it were a big heavier, since CK would probably like something that has some heft to it. Like so:… -
Re: is 'texture painting' going to be rendered obsolete in the next while?
I look at the new tools as a way to automate a lot of the manual work I had to do before with setup inside of photoshop, having to edit things and then carry those edits over to each map type, etc. The ability to treat things as materials and have the normal, color, spec, etc propagate is awesome, and being able to keep… -
Re: Owlet renderer
FULL quote being, "Lighting is not the same but it's close enough for an evaluation of the renders in a basic scene with nothing done to them." RYANB, Edited, just repeating myself. Critique of the renders in the Owlet gallery were substantive, even in the scope that their niche is "packaging" and not game art. Critique of… -
Re: UDK Jungle Environment Techniques and Level WIP
LEGEND!! Thanks so much. It's really hard to tell in this screenshot but most of the ideas you mentioned are infact what I've designed. I'm only about 3 weeks into this since beginning so I have a lot of detail to add. Have a peek at my graybox. This might give everyone a better idea of the layout. Also, give people ideas… -
Re: Materialize: image to material tool
Squirrelyjones, fantastic idea using a picker to determine heightmap and then generate normal from that and so on. What would the workflow be if you had to go back to the file, for example you dial in a tiling texture, save the various maps into Photoshop, then import into Unreal. What would the round trip look like if you… -
Re: Hardsurface artists: The world famous Maya vs 3ds max conflict in a diffrent way...
Ah, did i miss a chamfer modifier ? To me, most actions are done inside the edit poly, thus you could stack edit poly modifiers for each change but the back and forth actions are limited. Max reorders vertices too. Actually if i want to make larger chamfer, i have to remake it. While it may be better than Maya, it isn't as… -
Re: WIP: Rage Environment
Alright, after MANY pple commenting abt how the pillars for the overpass didn't look solid enough, i've replaced them with a more structured shape. Im probably gonna edit the materials a bit, but here's the basic idea? U guys think its better? Im gonna wanna increase the AO tho. I also edited the specular maps to most…
