Re: Red Crystal / Ruby Help
The closest i've come to recreating gemstones so far is making sure that the polygon surface is faceted instead of smooth, and setting the material alpha to additive. it helps to make the mesh two sided (or disable backface culling). However, currently Toolbag2 has no refractive pass/shader model, so this limits our… -
Re: 3D hand painted model from concept of Monster Life
it looks spot on for the most part, but if it's supposed to be realtime 3d it's really unoptimized. there's plenty of tiny chamfers that aren't even visible without wires, you have planks modeled as separate meshes while they look exactly like a flat polygon from this distance, and floor tiles are models while they are so… -
Re: Unpopular opinions -- get it out of your chest
Unlike high polygons counts or 4k textures, animation is tightly knight and straightly connected to game play and player's interaction, yet many studios still put animation quality aside when making their stuff, even for aaa projects... But shhh.let my ninja post rest stealthy in the shade on this thread, last time I said… -
Re: [solved] Substance Designer || Tesellation
For viewing the displacement you have to: - output a height map (make sure the usage is set to height) - output a normal map (generally converted from the height using the normal filter), both height and normal are required - edit the material in the 3d view and change the "scale" value If you use the Plane(Hi-rez) be… -
Re: Old Phone
Nice work so far your model is pretty good looking already. Add some minor tweaks, such as more polygons to the wire and more edge definition to the dial and you will be in good shape. Other than that, definitely get some solid references of a true rotary dial phone and not just a push button remake if thats the… -
Re: Free Maya/max cgfx/fx Shader
I guess you mean 8bits right? like alpha blended? There is no way I'm aware of to do a proper sorting per polygon in maya, but I could create a second technique to allow transparency. You would then need to split the mesh for the sorting to work properly per object. We're crunching for a deadline in about two weeks, I… -
Re: need Modelling help - 3DS MAX
You could definitely model this all low poly if you wanted. Lots of the piece repeat which is great, so use your clone tool. Model one of the repeating elements and clone it. Then repeat for the rest of the object. Its going to eat quite a few polygons but if its for presentation and not games i would model it. The problem… -
Re: T-Pose References?
Well it can do more than just move polygons around, which is why it costs a lot. :poly141: Anyway, having the arms at a 45* angle works best, as you might've noticed from the replies. I'm sure the prebuilt biped rig can be modified to conform to your model, well that's actually required, unless you plan to build your model… -
Re: alpha test in max viewport??
" I`ve been messing with alpha planes for what feels like ages now and I know alpha sorting is a no go with the max view port." Polygons are sorted in order of creation. At least in Max 8. So as a hack you can detach all of the masked polies/elements and attach them in the order you want them to be sorted. That's what I… -
Re: First real model attempt
Hey bud. A nice offering for being your first but you need to pay a bit more attention to the way you distribute your polygons. There are a ton of wasted polies in here even without a wireframe. Be more wary of adding polies that could just as easily be painted into a texture. The medallion on the chest and the loin cloth…
