Re: Maxscript : getting material from bitmap ?
Oh yeah, I had a custom attribute that was only supposed to be applied to standard materials and not multimaterials or bitmaps. If they didn't have the right thing selected, I just put up a messageBox saying, "Custom Attribute may only be applied to Standard Materials." No one ever got confused on how to use the tool. -
Re: Animating fading out objects for game engines
Dude, Unity is the only physX-related thing that doesn't suck and/or suck the life from your CPU. Just apply a rigidbody and a collider to the mole, and push it out of a plane. Then make a parachute, apply another rigidbody and collider, and crank the drag way up. It might stay right-side up, who knows. -
Re: Some Gamework
the gorgon is waay better than your other pieces, i like. When creating speculars, apply a standard material in 3dsmax/maya to ur model, and play around with spec/gloss settings to approximate the material you want, save the information as greyscale colours on your material texture, and then apply detail later. -
Re: Environment : HalfLife : Black Mesa Tunnel (Done)
Oh yeah. The reason I am doing that is to soften the normal that is coming from the metal materials. When paint is applied to a surface the surface becomes slightly less sharp due to the paint spreading into the cracks and finer areas so llbluring the normal when paint is applied works as the same idea for the painted… -
Re: Smoothing groups in cinema 4D?
yeah c4d has phong tags, that by default allow you to apply a certain angle eg 89% to the entire mesh but you can insert phong breaks along edges. its not as flexible as max as you cant have multiple phong tags applied to different parts of the mesh I dont think. -
Re: What Are You Working On? 2010 Edition!
The way that I do it is to make a copy of your model, and apply a material with wires turned on. Turn the diffuse color of that material to black, and turn down the size to something like .5. Then, apply a push modifier on the copy, push it to .1-.25, and viola... Your render will now show wires over the model. -
Re: UV and opensubdiv questions
Don't attach anything. Just apply a Unwrap UVW modifier to all the objects. This will create an instanced modifier that can be used to unwrap them all at the same time. After applying the Unwrap UVW modifier select each object one at a time and move the Unwrap mod under the Turbosmooth / OpenSubDiv modifiers. -
Re: Opacity masking in Cryengine 3
Are they currently one material? Have you tried defining the two rock parts, and the glass type material as two different materials within a multi-material? So one material will applied to the rock using normal parameters, while the other material will be applied to the glass type material and us the alpha settings. -
[3ds Max] Skewmesh: Tessellate Smoothing Artifacts (Solved)
I'm trying to use the skewmesh technique for baking normals, but I'm having trouble with the Tessellate modifier creating weird smoothing in 3ds Max 2017. These smoothing artifacts appear in the baked world space (and subsequent tangent space) normal map in Substance Designer. I have a finished, UVW Unwrapped, and Reset… -
Re: NPCs and doorways
You may also want to consider widening the door opening a bit, and checking the size of the npc physics proxy. This was for a custom engine, but might be applicable here?
