Re: Having trouble with normal/ao map baking.
You will get no AO from a highpoly model that has no creases or cavities. Unless you put a "floor" under it. The normal map won't show in the render unless you're using a Normal Bump map type, and make sure to set the Bump Channel strength to 100 (default is 30 in a Standard material). Are you using a different Smoothing… -
Re: So software piracy is now qualifies as a religion in Sweden
That makes absolutely no sense. If it's a closed system, then how did you just add the value of new resources? That contradicts your whole point. Our ecosystem isn't closed either. It's constantly bombarded with solar radiation that provides energy for all life here. We continually are impacted by meteorites that introduce… -
Re: Dark Souls T-shirt CMass Gift In Progress
Cool ideas, I especially like the bonfire one. That sword has such a cool shape to it. The actual flame sits a bit awkwardly on the base though, maybe knocking out some shapes to make it appear as though there are some elements sitting closer might help? As for the hand, the anatomy is looking better although I think the… -
Re: Dhalsim Jam - Late to the BRAWL
Hey guys, sorry for posting right on top of myself, but I was given a crit in WAYWO that has been brought up to me in RL before, but not here in this thread yet, so I'm going to quote the comment and my response here for documentation's sake.. But yea. As I'm moving forward, I will attempt to key on some of the design… -
Re: 3ds max render to texture quality
For the top pipe I'd probably just go one row of pixels over, and drag it over to cover the error. Doing the same thing for the other problems. Quick little fixes like that are pretty common when you bake any kind of capped cylinder with projection. You could try detaching to element the end caps. So it doesn't average… -
Re: That other console that's not made by MS or Sony
AFAIK thew SNES->GBA emus can't emulate the DSP because that'd require too much power. Repairing controllers? That rarely happens nowadays and with consoles you can forget about the thing when one control element is dead, anyway. I doubt anybody cares and I'm sure Nintendo will make those at least durable enough to last as… -
Re: 3ds Max 2010 Is Here...
been watching some of the autodesk GDC 2009 videos and in the 3dsmax2010 part 1 video they said that the Graphite tools are basicly stored as XML :D which puts a big smile on my face as I hope that they will go with that for everything in the future: GUI elements that can be customized and stored as XML files. the videos… -
Re: Texture work troubles.
yup pixeldensity is the key here: Many texture surfaces are just way bigger scaled compared to other elements. Also in my oppinion the body surface texture of the base block are to huge scaled - I think that all those details should be way smaler compared to the 3d model. All in all I think the texture work is to bold and… -
Re: Attitudes about games
hm yeah Strangefate I agree that if you take any element of a game and review it as a book or movie it will fail miserably but I think what ninjas is getting at is that games are experiences, we're living in another world.. a flawed crappily rendered and repettetive world- but all of us should know that feeling when you're… -
Re: Apocalyptic movies. Know any?
What he said. Plus antichrist was not that hard to understand :D (and not at all apocalyptic) On to the list : Mad Max 2: The Road Warrior is one of the good ones. Pitch Black maybe ? Children of Men Last Night ( didn't get to see this one) The Fifth Element War of the Worlds (which i enjoyed) 12 Monkeys Akira ( if in the…
