Re: Export Normal Map from Toolbag
Export as in save the map from the baker? If so, press bake and that will save all active maps to disk. If you want to export a map from the scene, well, maps aren't saved in the scene, they're saved on your hard drive. You can press the little pencil button next to the map to open the file. -
Re: 3ds max 2008 woes
Not a maya user, but why are people still bitching and whining about being bought by autodesk? WHY! WHY! Wish the cut tool could be fixed as well... right now its my "fking crash app, make cuts on the other side of the model, make invisible verts to create welding problems later on" button -
Re: Giant
the belly seems a bit flat on top, where the belly button line is, i'd round it up a bit maybe. Looks a bit stuck on from the front as well, maybe smooth it out at the top and buldge it out a bit near the bottom. Looking sweet though, is there a concept you are working from then? Looking forward to updates :) -
Re: Need some help properly setting up UV's in 3dsMax
Try to break the objects down to simple primitive shapes and UV them accordingly (turn off normalisation and use the built in primitive unwrap buttons in uvw unwrap) . In this case, the uprights are cylinders and everything else is a box so it's easy Angled shells will result in shitty artefacts so make sure the edges are… -
Re: The Beast - The best of love
To get images to work, you need to get the full URL which usually ends in .JPG then click on the "Attach Image/File" button and paste the URL there. I don't think Google Drive will work for embedding images on forums. At least I couldn't figure out how to get a plain image URL out of it. -

Re: man...i gotta xnormal/max RTT normal question.....
hey mop, you know that you can render without the cage in max right? in the render to texture dialog, click the options button in the projection mapping section, then uncheck the Use Cage box. The ray distance is controlled by the offset radio dial. comes in very hand for hard surface, and isnt to shabby for organics… -
Re: 3DS Max, textool plugin, Texel Density, value.
You can force a value by making sure all of your UV islands are the same texel density (rescale clusters). After that, select all of your uv islands, input your desired value for TD, desired texture map resolution, and right clicking this button. It'll then scale all UVs accordingly with that texture map size, and TD.
