Re: Chromatic Abberation - Yay or nay?
I agree with m4dcow. As a photographer, we try to get rid of all chromatic abberation to create a pristine print. Yet, getting rid of all of it is a feat in itself and some does remain. I think applying chromatic abberation to a model will work if only done subtly. Combined with a bit of DoF, the model can appear more… -
Re: 3Ds Max How Disable "Menu" Hotkeys ?
I got you man! It's a windows function that affects every program photoshop etc. you have to disable the alt menu selection for the alt key, by applying this script in windows. If you follow this link it should give you the instructions. after the script is applied the alt key still works but doesn't activate the menu at… -
Re: Averaging normals of two different meshes?
if in Max it doesn't work as expected , try Blender Data transfer modifier ( same idea as with normal theft script) to transfer normals from other model without seams. Imo it works just ok. Just don't forget to set auto smooth before applying.… -
Re: Getting that first gig
Hmmm, I landed this job right after I applied via a post here at polycount. Working for a small developer in Holland. This was my 1st time I applied anywhere, and after 10 minutes I was hired. Not to be arrogant, but I'm good at what I do, and with not much competition it was probably a easy choice for them anyway. So here… -
Re: Enzo - 3d paint for PS
Hasn't crashed for me, but it doesn't seem to be applying paint properly. On a test box OBJ I made with unique UVs, it only applied the textures I painted on to the wireframe lines, rather than the actual polys themselves. Very odd. Plus, when I use "Open Textures", it doesn't open them in a new window, it just resizes the… -
Re: Roger Ebert On Why Video Games Can Never Be Art
I believe it was Duchamp who defined art as something the Artist begins and the Viewer finishes. Trying to develop a perfect definition for art is a fools' errand, but I think Ebert couldn't be more wrong in his opinions on the subject. applying Duchamp's definition, games are absolutely a medium through which art could be… -
Re: mmmaya mmmentalray mmmaterials
Not that it'd fix the problem, but if you are just assigning materials to the separate faces of a single object, you could try to extract the faces so that they are all separate objects, then apply the materials to thos objects. Not exactly the best fix, and it could give some funny seams depending on how your mesh is… -
Re: A teacher stumping animation problem. Probably a simple answer.
Another quirk that I just noticed, whenever I animate a bone, the shoulder for example, and Auto Key applies a new key, it applies the key for every bone in the limb, both lower and higher. Rotating at the shoulder sets keys on all the bones down the arm, as well as the clavicle above it. Rotating a food sets keys in the… -
Re: UE3 Material Issues
Hey everyone, I'm starting to toy around with UT3Ed, but when I try to use a Multi/Sub-Object Material for a static mesh it looks textured properly in Max, but when I bring it into UnrealEd I get all of the material slots, but it ignores any materials past the first two slots. Here's a screenshot of the setup: It seems to… -
Potentially obvious issue with object space normals.
Despite having more and more intuitive workflows every time I sit down to bake normal maps out for a project, there always seems to be that one thing that just plain doesn't work. At the moment, I'm modeling and assigning vertex normals in Modo, exporting and baking out normal maps from marginally higher poly models in…
