Re: Cleaning and consolidating multi/sub materials in 3dsmax
yeah, I found a blur script that kind of does this ;-) CollapseSubObjectMaterial Takes an object that has a multi/subobject material, and collapses the material to use only the subobject materials that are assigned to face IDs on the object. Modifies the object as well, consolidation material IDs and collapsing it to an… -
Re: MAX. Need help with UVs. Noob.
There are a lot of ways to tackle this but if you wanted to post the model, I wouldn't mind taking a crack at unwrapping it and doing a quick write up about what steps I took. One thing you might want to experinment with is "quick Peel". You select some faces and hit the button. It will planar map and relax the results… -
Re: Ruger SR9
The shots that have wireframes are lowpoly updates, the rest are highpoly updates. I tend to work on both at the same time. Workflow stuff so far, The frame has a lot of complex (more than 1-dimensional) curves, so it starts as a very low poly blockout to get the primary forms right, and then that gets subdivided so… -
Re: Art Test Help/Suggestions
Well, in my experience collisions is one of the more expensive factors in a game, it is also one of those things the player will notice if they are not set up right. I always do my own collisons and are quite anal about them. In many cases the objects that i model will be sunk down in to ground and the player/npc will… -
Re: "Cavity" maps.
Would that also be the case with object space normal maps? I mean an OSN would essentially "ignore" the low poly and only bake the normals of the high poly right? Since people are starting to use object space normal maps more now that Handplane is making them more popular. Using that hype wave and making tools for object… -
Re: spacing tool...max 8
i did something like this at work yesterday to line a bunc of skulls around a giant blood fountain, i made the spline , selected the object then in the animation tab >constraints>prath constraints, selected the path, if you scrub the animation slider you should see it follow the path, theres some controlls in the modify… -
Re: Submarine-Game Room
thanks ! yeah i'll be sure to put a rough impression of my textures on all my objects =. :) yeah, your very right. I noticed i gave the desk a hardcore beat up look, i'll re work the texture on that and more details (objects) will come :) The monitors are like a HUD. I'll just gonna leave the rest of the objects the way… -
Re: Forest Environment
you people are mad. If your goal is a forest - a real, dense forest - then low poly should be the goal. Don't try and model each frond or each branch, just try and get a decent volumetric poof of foliage, then go mock up your level with 1000 trees and see how it looks and performs. Then, if you've got tons of performance… -
Re: is there a way to turn this off in 3ds max?
are you guys talking about vigs problem or the zoom slowing down? its the way the 3d camera works, it has a pivot point which is where you rotate about-so if the pivot point is in the middle of nowhere you zoom in and it appears to stop.. you're getting infinitely close to the pivot point in space. works the same in mudbox… -
Re: 3d apps in the games industry
retopo or retopology is simply modeling another model on your existing model. So that each time you create faces or move elements they snap on another object. The reason to remodel something might be because you need a cleaner flow in your topology (the flow of faces and edges), or you need less triangles or something else…
