baking texture - 3ds Max 7
Hey all. I've got a question and all the searching I've done hasn't really got me past basic baking questions. Bascially I have started messing with trying to do LOD models and higher poly bakes. Currently I'm working on vegetation and one of the team members wanted more ground cover (ivy type plants to hide tex seams) So… -
Re: xNormal .TGA --> Max
The odd thing is, if I open/save the initial TGA in PS, if I overwrite that file with a new xnormal TGA, it will show in Max. For example, I will bake a test normal map in xNormal, it wont open it in Max so I have to open in PS and Save. But then If I make changes and rebake that map, it will show the updated TGA file in… -
UV mappping Ued vs. Max
Ok vs. is wrong but.. In Ued you can select your faces then with a few simple clicks and some alinement you can get the texture to look almost the way you want it to. I know how to uv map in max that's not what I'm asking. Is there a way in max to get that same simple easy uv mapping? -
Normal map workflow
Hello, From searching online forums and Polycount its clear I am not alone in my very consistent and frustrating problems with normal maps. This post is not for for a specific problem with a model its more to find out what you pro's think is the most hassle free and fast workflow to produce a quality model with a normal… -
Re: 3ds max hidden object errors
The schematic thing works - just pop up a new schematic view, and all those objects show as ghosts. Just select them and hit the Delete key, and they are gone. For unused maps, I wrote a max script that clears the scene. This bit will kill EVERY material in the scene: fn kill_materials = ( max select all $.material =… -
Re: 3ds max 2011, PC shuts off and restart while rendering complex scene
Render to frames then composite? It might die but each time you'll get more and more of the job done. You can load the frames into ram player and save out a avi. Or use AfterEffects or if you're on max2011 it comes with composite formerly known as Toxik. It could be a plug-in or some other script that you have launch with… -
Physicaly based viewport shader for max?
Does anyone know of a viewport shader for max that uses the increasingly popular physically based approach - instead of determining specular reflections with a specular map, you use a specular mask and a roughness/smoothness map. This is a fairly common approach these days, but every max viewport shader I know of uses the… -
Working with very high poly meshes in max (8.0)
What is the best way to generate normal maps from very dense meshes? I know of many ways to do it, but there are problems with those approaches. My current workflow is the following. 1) Model the low poly character 2) Model high detail model, focusing on main forms, hard details and other inorganic details. 3) Bring high… -
Re: [Technical Talk] - Max Plugins
Eric: I am always impressed by how quickly you answer on these questions. Thanks a lot man! Anyways, I think I got the results you were talking about, and its pretty sweet really. I think its the solution I was looking for. After some playing around (I have never used vertex colors modifier in max) I found that I can go to… -
Re: Max OBJ/FBX exporter
Eric, Thanks for the feedback. I've gone through all the options I can think of. If I import that same obj back into Max I don't have a problem. I apply an Unwrap UVW to it and the UV's appear to be in 2 shells. When I import that same OBJ into zbrush or maya, they are not attached. Also, when I do a render to texture…
