Re: Colt 1911 A1 texturing wip
Hey man, Two things. Your metal is reading as metal right now, so that is step 1! Your edges from your highpoly seem VERY tight, and they are getting lost, in general you want your edges to be loose compared to real life so that the normal map and screen resolution pick up those details. For the texture, your wear looks… -
Re: kraemology's sketchy sketches
I'm still not 100% satisfied with how the reflections are coming out, but otherwise I'm pretty much done with this guy. Haven't taken it into Unity or Unreal (these are screen grabs in Max) and I'm not sure if I will or not. After getting some advice on it, I decided to LOD the mesh, and MIP the texture. It actually… -
Re: ancient pillar need crits
im sort of torn here because im sculpting using dynamesh, and its already maxed out at 1024 rez so i cant really get any sharper details in.. ill probably have to switch over to the old topology mode to get through with the finer details in the end.. baring in mind this'll be a game prop with a texture of 512 or 1024… -
Re: I'm getting a mac book pro i7 13 inch
I've run 3DS Max on a BootCamp setup (XP then 7) for like 3 years or so now and it's fine, just as stable as on Windows (effectively because Windows on a BootCamp partition is no different to Windows on a PC), but I've never tried it under virtualisation. I wouldn't expect much out of it under a VM though, anything taxing… -
Re: Unreal Frontend DX11?
If you run the game from a shortcut instead of the .EXE you can add a command line argument(CLA) to force the render to DX 11. Here is a page on the the UDN that explains what various CLA do. http://udn.epicgames.com/Three/CommandLineArguments.html#Rendering So an example of this would something like the following...… -
Re: Agusta/Westland 109 SP
Let me begin by going over how I originally approahced the model. I'm using 3ds Max 2012 and went about modeling via standard sub-division methods. I'm only building one side, and adding a symmetry modifier on the X, a shell, and a turbosmooth. I'm working with a top, side, and front blueprint view for general guidance,… -
Re: Monthly Community Noob Challenge August 2013 (10)
Ok so after several test with measurements on grid in 3DS Max, I have locked on the coordinates :D . Since I wanna learn modular on circular patterns this is perfect method :D I guess. The trick is not to model in circular shapes (except pillars and few small props) . Instead I am rolling it like a red carpet, say you have… -
Re: Fantasy Digital Environment Art: Wild Skies project [PIC HEAVY]
Hey man, awesome stuff, I really like all of these. Just make sure your perspective is solid before you start detailing! The perspective in the cloud castle is definitely wonky in a lot of places. This can be a helpful tool for quickly setting up perspective grids:… -
Re: Can Maya do this?
My script does this with something called the "XsiDuplicate" command. It basically replace the default "CTRL+D" (duplicate) command by one more aware of the current selection. - On a object : duplicate the whole object - On a face : extrude (and gives your the previous manipulator you were using) - On an edge : extrude… -
