Re: Reflections with a 'Camera Vector'
Use a panner after the mask. 0.5 and x and y with a time of 1 Why cant you use cubemaps? Also a more generic texture would be better, since you cant insure what angle the viewer will see it at. I prefer to use textures that are just vertical stripes of value and only pass the red channel from my reflection vector. There is… -
Re: rebind ctrl-backspace?
Anyone know if assigning another shortcut to ctrl+backspace ( from ribbon-modelling) will the backspace button still work (delete edges without vertices) ? I ask because from a mistake I change the delete object shortcut ( which is delete ) and I couldn't assign it back, I have to reset all shortcut. Max it`s not… -
Re: A question about correct optimization.
Not to mention, alot of them shiny new maps kids like to play with will require a mesh that robust and nice looking, as well simple to work with and be able to carry itself well, as opposed to it being super clean, down to the very small welding of a vertice could lead to issues in the long run. Hell, even iPhone games try… -
Re: Maya mental ray backface culling render?
Any one kno how to avoid back face culling.. like i need to select all d mid faces of a cylinder in front view n thts not happenin, ther ll b only half faces selected n half left out.. also whn selecting vertices only half ll b selected n not othr half..!! & its not happenin with the switch on & off of back face culling :( -
Re: How would you identify an edited ripped model?
I would rip the model myself, then merge in the contractor's model, and compare. If they share a significant # of vertices, it's not a new model. But the larger question here is why duplicate a ripped asset? Even if you re-make Sonic from scratch, Sega still owns the copyright, and may sue you if you try to sell it or… -
Re: Character modeling newbie question
If you are aiming for a really low poly look (or perhaps a distant camera) and facial animation isn't a major goal for the model, then those kind of loops aren't going to be crucial to the model. When that is the case you pretty much just need the model to maintain the silhouette, perhaps creating the major planes of the… -
Re: HK MP5k
The proportions of the trigger pack (the lower receiver area with the trigger, selector and grip) don't look right. Looks too long front to back and the mag well looks a little too small in comparison. I'm also seeing some issues with the vertical foregrip and the charging handle area. Double check your refs. Detail looks… -
Re: Need help baking xnormal
To see the cage you must enter the 3D viewer and check in the "show cage" checkbox. The cage works in this simple way: rays are fired from the cage to "inside", so you only need to extrude the cage ( or move its vertices ) until it covers completely the high-res mesh. As simple as that. Once you're done, press the "Save… -
Re: FaceGen: Nice for ref or for lazy modelers
It's decent. I had some experience with it working on a mod where the team wanted everyone's faces in the game and they really wanted to use facegen. It does alright, if you want a bald version of your face with no facial hair, but it doesn't get the subtlties down very well. I had to tinker around with the vertices quite… -
Re: My first character- displaced hunter/fighter
I'm not much of a character modeler, but I know that for anything you do, you should watch out for detail! Also, the character's 3 vertical lines down his spine aren't really needed if they're so close. You could put them together into 1 line until it reaches his pants. Some people might disagree with me on this, but I've…
