Re: Mesh outline generation for leaves?
This piqued my interest so I hacked a macroscript I'd cobbled together a while back for turning sprites into 3d objects (it's a hack squared) It appears to work - it's not fully automated or clever but I actually got some decent results out of it bad things : It starts from a very inefficient mesh (quad per pixel) and… -
Re: TB2 beta thread
Thanks for the feedback! Your card should be okay for local reflections. So a few things about local screen space reflections: 1. Local reflections are blurred based on the gloss map content, like specular reflection from dynamic lights and IBL. 2. As it is a screen space effect, it tends to look a bit better with a bit… -
Re: MaxScript Knowledge and Question Thread
McGreed, sourceNodes array is defined incorrectly. But other than that it works for me. However, to me it seems the script is too complex for what you are trying to do, and if sourceNodes[1] is scaled you get some odd behavior. The code below gives me the same result as your script when sourceNode[1] isn't scaled, but I… -
Re: Geo-loop
It works if you cap it first. Edit: So what i thought was actually true. Once you collapse vertices the original center of the circle is lost. The center calculated from all vertices at least. How do you construct a cicle without knowing the correct centerpoint? Some testing code: ( --If there is anything selected? local… -
Re: PowerPreview: High Quality Nitrous Previews (3ds Max)

-- Toronto Polycount Meetup! February 9th --
That's right my friends, its time for another beer, games and beer games. This time its a bit of a special occasion though, our good and loyal friend Lucas is leaving us for greener pastures (aka a new job). Even if you don't know Lucas you should still come out and have a drink or two with your local game devs! These… -
Seattle Eastside Sketchgroup
Hey All So a few years ago, after one of the polycount meetups, a few guys and I started a sketch group. of local PC members. It was a fantastic chance for us all to share our goals and objectives in a non judgmental environment. We learned a lot, about not only ways of working, but ways of thinking as well. Topics and… -
The American Astronaut... movie.
In my local mom/pop video store lay a rack with employee picks of the month. One of the movies was The American Astronaut. Absolutely bizarre, and creative it was. One of my most favorite movies to see recently. Its a space story, with a rock and roll undertone. Yes, sometimes they even break out into song and dance. The… -
Re: Buying framed prints.
If there are Michaels or AC Moore craft stores near you, go to one of those and see what size frames they have as default. Custom Framing is incredibly expensive, so, since you have control over the print, you can instead find a frame size that comes standard (ie 24x36) and then print to that size. Kinkos does an ok job… -
Re: Whats your favorite retopology tool?
I saw a post from one of the devs saying it does use actual machine learning AI, but it strikes me as odd that so many guides are needed if that’s the case. Maybe it’s needed to cut down processing so the AI can be run locally on your machine. Either way, that example clip isn’t great. It doesn’t look much different from…
