Re: [Riot Art Contest] - Arcade Syndra
Reply by Hekutor · · Home› Contests & Challenges Archives› Riot Art Contest› Riot Art Contest - Character ArtI perfectly know that Thrivius but thanks ;) . I actually have a 3dsMax script that automatically bakes a map with those caracteristics but I must have UVs to bake it. What you see in the pictures is just a polypaint base color pass with no detail, AO bakes or anything, over the high poly model so I hope the texture is… -
Re: 3D Newbie... some advice?
You really can't go wrong with Maya or 3DSMax. Either should serve you well for what you want to do. If you're subscribed to Digital Tutors, they should have a lot of training content for both programs to help you get a grip on the basics. I would recommend looking at Zbrush only after you've got a good feel for making… -
Re: 3ds max: Saving floating toolbars layout
I think there are default positions in the 3dsmax.ini file? Typically found in X:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\Local\Autodesk\3dsMax\2011 - 64bit\enu\ That seems pretty manual and time consuming to get it figured out. There might be a better way though maxscript to call the windows and position them but I don't think there is a… -
Re: Lost connect edge
its the shortcut override toggle button and its within the main menu of 3dsmax. If you enable it it forces shortcuts that are modifier specific or tool specific over the default interface shortcuts. This is sometimes required so that shortcuts for example in the UV editor work or in the Edit Poly modifier. Its really… -
Re: 3DSM 7 - Duplicating UV channels?
I once wrote a little script for max5, but I think later versions of max have that built-in? anyway my script is here http://www.luxinia.de/index.php/ArtTools/3dsmax#uvcopy DO NOT install the plugin, just run the .mcr file once and you will find the macroscript installed but better look in the max help file I am quite sure… -
Re: 3ds Max to mudbox and normal mapping question
wow, this is some great info from you guys, i really had no idea! I'm happy that i can just start working from scratch in mudbox then, though at the same time I'm a bit disappointed for wasting so much time in this model thus far, ah well i'm guessing that 3dsmax isnt used as much anymore when it comes to creating… -
Re: Head modeling
There's always the blender head modeling series on CGCookie.com from Jonathan Williams: http://www.cgcookie.com/articles/blender-modeling-a-human-head-complete-series 6 free videos of basically the same poly modeling method with minor differences and done at a slower pace. There are the occasional blender specific terms… -
Re: MAXScript: Multi OBJ Tool v1.3!
it probably is not the script - because (although I am not 100% sure) maxscript allows you only to call a function to export as file and depending on the extension it will use the default settings of your last export out of 3dsmax. So like you said changin the default export settings (when doing so manually) to quads… -
Re: Hard Surface Tank - Need Feedback Please
Currently the normal is bakes down from a Highpoly. I was trying out 3DSMax's Mat ID function to get acurate HP AO without having to do an exploded scene. I did consider using NDO2 but didn't in the end to try and keep to make origonal methood of baking streight from highpoly. After steping back and looking at it the bolts… -
Re: Penguin Warrior
i wouldnt advise you to work your low polies in zbrush. zb is usually taken as a hi poly tool, so what i would say is work your low polies somewhere like 3dsmax, blender or maya, then make your HP (you can do the other way around too, make a hi poly first and then make a low poly cage of it, thats personal preference).
