Re: Palin interview, better than a nip slip
Have you ever read "What's the matter with Kansas" (if not, the Wikipedia page has some useful info and good links at the bottom)? Republicans have been in control of the Executive for 20 of the last 28 years. They've controlled both houses of the Legislature, and the Executive, since 2002. They're not going to 'solve' any… -
Re: will you be trading up for black & Green?
[ QUOTE ] you obviously missed the HD DVD addon box right? That outputs 1080p via component or vga when plugged into a normal 360, $200. [/ QUOTE ] This doesn't solve the issue on a lot of Sony TV's, including mine. It ONLY supports 1080p through HDMI. MS had better f'n release an HDMI cable for those of us with older… -
Re: 3ds Max tool for expediting model export to Valve Source Engine
**update** got it working by compiling the tga outside of the tools in vftlib (not really solved) but it works for the moment... - also tried it out in the new tf2 items test map and all seems okay (its just a cube w/ a diffuse texture for testing purposes) my first fake item actually in game yahhooo! - thanks for making… -
Re: Problem with baking normal in Max
Try flipping the missing UV pieces and see how it renders. I forget what setting you need to switch so it renders through the back faces of your UV but flipping the pieces so they are right reading should solve the problem also. On second thought I think it might be a MentalRay issue, does it still do it if you render… -
Re: So Much Monsters! site update! Exclamation!
Xeno: Let's talk about this! What do you mean by they are everywhere? One important thing I should point out is that this is going to be primarily videos--less a portfolio page. While I do plan to dump some images in once in a while, 95% of it will be video content. Do the links at the top not solve the disorganized mess?… -
Re: Sketchbook: Zooch
The model posted above is using a single 2048 diffuse material with a multiply attached for the specular. No normal map. I've since solved the problem by tiling the pole's material and almost tripling the size of the UV map, then breaking the map down and overlapping it. The seams aren't showing up since it tiles and the… -
Re: 3D's max projection method
Reviewing the previous thread, you discovered a core limitation of the texture projection technique, it only handles planar projections, it doesn't work around corners or curves. No 3d painter really solves this. The way the original author handled it was to avoid painting on oblique areas., moving the camera, rendering,… -
Re: High poly CAD model to Low poly - Normal Map experiment
To remedy the artefacts in the corner you could try to import the file using STEP format (.stp). When importing do not convert the mesh and it should give you a "Body object" type mesh which retains some of the spline/nurm aspects as in CAD. It gives you some control over how the mesh is displayed. It *might* solve the… -
Re: Is box-modeling a dying technique?
What would solve all this issue is AI, Is there some research with it on retopology? Because lets be frank, retopology is like making your model twice whereas box modeling is making your model once but with topology in check. I wonder whether those who used to box model characters in the past still stick with it. I just… -
Re: Anyone here use Blender?
Yeah but an FBX plugin could be made by someone else and distributed separately from Blender itself (not by Blender Foundation), then all would be ok (silly GPL...). Maybe find a capable and willing coder and start a kickstarter fund? Around the end of this thread it looks as though someone is looking into solving the…
