Re: How do you Unwrap a Cone for Squar Tile Texture
Just out of curiosity I created a cone (not a mangled cylinder) and applied unwrap, just to see what kind of default unwrap 3dsmax applies. This is what I saw. There seems to be a bit of distortion but it would let you paint straight horiz lines without distortion or anti-aliased lines. You could possibly start to minimize… -
Re: Mean Machine - Comicon 2010
lampekap - First of all I drow with pencil this tatoo (no comuter use:) this make me a lot of fun, I make it when I got free time, then I project tatoo in 3dsmax on body I use planar maping, next I render to texture from Hipoly to Lopoly. In Photoshop I cut tatoo, and organize it to fit on skin, I`m make a 100 renders to… -
Re: setting pivot to z=0?
Ahh crap... I think you can get the script if you follow the links from the main page. If you don't want to bother heres the code he uses:for i in selection do (i.pivot = i.min) It doesn't center the pivot, but instead sets the piviot to XYZ 0 which is down in the left corner of the mesh... But Prof's method works for me… -
Re: [Portfolio] Kevin Wolmarans
You have some normal maps posted in your 3ds max section that were generated using a texture and normal map filter http://www.kwolmarans.com/3dsMax/Fountain/Fountain.html thats cool, but you can see the the smoothing groups of each polygon. That is exactly what a normal map should hide. Dude, make a simple high poly and… -
Re: Tips for creating with only one photo
the title is not saying much either, very confusing post :( Maybe you are referring to image modeling? or camera mapped modeling? 3dsMax has some build in tools to match a camera in 3d space to a 2d image by referencing a few points in the picture and 3d space. Its called camera match or so, just google it. Otherwise what… -
Re: Maya/Aztec/Inca Environment WIP
Try zbrushing the hills. I do mountains regularly at work and zbrush has proved to be a helpful mountain and hill creation tool. I usually tecilate to around 100k polys then sculpt large shapes that are readable from a sillouet style. After your sculp bring the mesh back into your modeling program, poly reduce (while… -
Re: Noob question: Quads or Tris?
Whatever works to get the job done for whatever you're doing. Games work in tris but quads are easier to work with, selecting rings and loops, converting that to poly selection all fast ways to work but it doesn't work with mostly tris. If you're using 3dsmax its easier to control hidden edges then it is in Maya. But in… -
Re: Anybody doing tool stuff with Blender?
would be nice to have some kind of tutorials or experience review of someone who used it in that way. I think the modeler and many of the tools are not competing at all with the pricey big 3 (max, maya, xsi) but just like sketchup its super sexy for using in a studio as a pipeline element with custom scripts because:* runs… -
Re: No reply, do i keep emailing?
If you're going to redo it, a good place to start would be creating a new UV layout on a second UV channel then transfer/render the first UV channel to the second. That will take what you have done and put it on a new UV layout. Be sure to put any overlapping pieces off the grid exactly 1 unit over, that way they'll tile… -
Re: tutorial: fixing mirrored normal map seams
Warby, Thanks for great information. As matter of fact, I was looking all over the place to find how to do it via "Zbrush & 3dsMax pipeline" (which I am still working on) This would be definitely giving me some break. Dekard, [ QUOTE ] You can just save a copy, move it off the uv sqaure somewhere, and then revert back to…
