Re: udk blockin, why bsp?
It is optional, but I prefer to use bsp to size things up. You can then jump in the game run around and see if things seems correctly proportioned. Also you don't need to worry about collision with bsp as it's automatically done so you can freely run around on the bsp surfaces unlike a simplistc maya/max export (unless you… -
Re: Team Fortress 2: 1850 Edition
Maybe there's a way to adapt the 1850 concepts to the actual models proportions-wise, so they can be rigged and exported back to the game. Although I'm not familiar with exporting player models to TF2 I don't think it's impossible by any chance. Maybe you want to stick to the concepts and you don't care about being able to… -
Re: 3ds max and accuracy
if you work for engines better stick with generic units and not inches, centimeters and alike- those are just a way of juggling with the internal units by adding a bunch of digits. Most export scripts are exported with these generic units anyway they often dont know meters or inches. Its the same headache we have with… -
Re: Zbrush Normal Mapping Issue
The obj exporter in max can have problems with scale bbeing too low. If you have reset your xforms beofore you export and it still causes this, try scaling it up significantly and resetting once again. Also: if you are mirroring shit, select one half of the mirrorred bits, scale them down to a very small size and put them… -
Re: Animation Help for Games
You guys need to break things out into upper body and lower body. Usually, the run cycle for the legs will always loop, and then you can blend the upper body to play what every animation you want. So if you are running, the lower body always plays the running animation, and then if you shoulder your rifle, only the upper… -
Re: Simple mudbox question
Not exactly what you asking for. But I would export it to 3ds max, then select the vertices you want planar and flatten them ("make planar: Z" button). Do this on a lower subdivision level (export one of your lower subdivisions) so its easier to select things in max, easy on your computer, and so it maintains the details… -
Re: sketchup for modelling?
One tip I can give is to watch the front/back faces if you're exporting/importing from SketchUp to Max (or whatever). SketchUp has an option to set them as different colors so you can keep up with them (you don't want the back faces facing out). I've done a pretty good bit of exporting from SketchUp and most of the time… -
Re: What's your favourite engine?
I like our character pipeline. We just export out of max or maya and texture using our engine as the viewer. It refreshes textures in real time and you can edit shaders in a nice flowchart viewer. We create normal maps with our normal map generator through max or maya. No exporting meshes needed. It also creates ambient… -
Re: .md5mesh smoothing problems
MD5mesh doesn't support smoothing groups/hard edges/vertex normals, as far as I'm aware. I assume it's possible to get the same effect by simply breaking the verts along the edges which need to be "hard" before exporting. I assume the exporter won't weld those verts back together (although I might be wrong). Obviously that… -
Re: [Finished] Kaminsky Handheld Device
Honestly vertex normal export from all modelling tools is kinda screwy. Anytime I export something I immediately re-import it to see if it broke. Especially since what breaks them can be version specific. Newer versions of 3ds are somehow worse with this. A vertex can only point in one direction. Splitting the normals…
