Re: Still having issues with Maya 2011/2012...
Alpha sorting has always been a pain in the ass. One thing you can try to do is make sure that the transparent object is its own mesh, and not part of a larger mesh (i.e. if you have a car with transparent windows...make the windows a seperate mesh with a transparent shader) Alpha sorting on a complex object that is… -
Re: Weird Pistol
the white symbols look mixed up, the gaelic pattern , the star in the circle and the more flowery pattern don't match. might be better to go with a singular pattern and have it as an inlay rather than painted on : ] oh and you can export it as multiple object parts in an .obj and apply a separate material to each uv'd… -
Re: Remove this post
An easy way to manage texel density is to use a script. I use Advanced UV Normalizer. You can grab the texel density from one object (say a plane mapped to be 512x512 = 50 CM2), save that as a preset and then apply that to other objects. Saves me a lot of time and effort, not to mention it keeps my texel density… -
Re: Maya, nonmanifold geometry issues. Solution?
Thank you poopipe ans sage for valueable insight! Not exactly my geo. To proxy out stuff quickly, we tend to use free models. Fine with max... not with maya i see. Do you apply cleanup tool in object mode with selected object, or with selected particular component? btw: Ctrl + del, deleted edges with vertices. -
Re: High Poly Bake/Envelope Problem Maya 2013
Looks to me like your face normals might be inside out. To check this, go to your Shading viewport menu, and check on Backface Culling. Alternatively, you can select your object and go to Display > Polygons > Face Normals. For the latter, the little green normal lines should be pointing away from your object, not toward… -
Re: [SDK] - Goblin!
Haiasi: I broke up the OBJ mop supplied into separate objects by element in 3ds max first, then re exported as a .3ds Photoshop respects each separate object in a single 3ds file as its own mesh in the 3d layer. You can then turn them on and off with a visibility box just like you find in 2d layers. :) -
Re: Displacement mapping for games
As for the "amount of tessellation to make the spheres look good" it is true that you would need to tessellate quite a bit. It would help if you already modeled very low poly sphere in the low poly object. That would reduce the tessellation amount. Other techniques, like tessellation only on the silhouette of the object… -
Re: Adobe Photoshop feedback
The powerfull thing about layer masks is that you get interactive feedback as you paint them. Using a smart object forces you to edit the mask in a seperate canvas, so you have no visual feedback and are reduced to guess work. If you could directly edit smart objects then combining them with clipping masks would be a great… -
Re: Exporting models from blender to 3ds max problems
Sorry if I was not very clear... what I meant had nothing to do with the exporting the projection paint. I was just asking if you can project paint in 3ds max in general? Ok, got the workflow now for exporting to udk. But it always applies one material for the whole object. So I need to import the leafes as a seperate… -
Re: UT3 Map WIP thread
I guess in this instance that method makes sense since the details will tend to hide the errors and the object will most likely be baked in the level. Having done lots of smooth surfaces on objects that need to be dynamically lit (vehicles) I've found this issue to be extremely time consuming to deal with. *I'll end this…
