Re: More polygon or painting alphas in substance painter - which is better for performance?
It depends on what the object will be used for. Is it a foregrip/heat shroud for a gun that will be seen up close in first person? Is it some sci-fi object on a ship that will be tucked into a corner somewhere? Is it some kind of distant object that will be seen from far away? Polygons are cheap, but you don't want to… -
Re: 3ds max - Creating a custom primitive?
That's one area of maxscript that they haven't upgraded in years and I don't think anything has changed in the way they handle custom primitives... They allow you to create snapshots of editable mesh objects just like the script does and then vomit those back into your scene, and you can adjust it through script on the… -
Re: Huge terrain texturing
You're looking for a checkbox that says "generate mapping coords" inside of Rendering in the spline menu. It also exists in sweep if your curious, pretty handy. Why they name things what they do is amazing sometimes... heh. Then set the spline to renderable, then setting it to rectangle. Probably apply an edit poly on top… -
Re: correct terminology: shader maps? render maps? what are they called?
They're not all standardised because the implementation of the shader is what really defines what they are. 'Emissive' and 'Self-Illumination' as an example can be interpreted to be two different things (and are when I personally use them) - a self-illumination map is where the object can light itself, whereas an emissive… -
Re: [Solved] AO artifacts when baking in SD
I think what Jerc said, was we do not support multiple cages: if your fbx contains two models with two different materials each using a specific UV set, since the cage relies on UV you can't merge the two cages. In this particular case you'd have to use two cages and for now you can't specify the two cages in SD/SP. So, if… -
Re: MaxScript, Quick Boolean script.

Re: Static lighting in Unity 2018.3
Hate to double post but I can't seem to edit right now. As an edit to what @Noren said you are correct, I found some more information on this essentially near camera objects and lights receive realtime lighting while the far camera objects receive high quality baked lighting which also includes shadow detail from near… -
Re: [Question] UV for make a AR Color book
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=so3SQoageD8 What I wanna do is like this, but in environment and got multiple object. I can find some link that teach turn the model to AR, but that is very less source that teaching how to make a 3D model and the most important is the uv. I‘m using Maya. What I can find is only this video(… -
Re: Maya practice. (Only a practice)
Looking good for a block out. Are you just starting to try 3d? If so, I would suggest looking into how to do ambient occlusion, normal maps, texturing, or lighting. Right now those are the biggest things to improve from here. I would suggest to focus on one and try improving in that skill then trying something else. Like… -
