Re: NEED TEXTURING HELP- UNWRAPPING..........

Re: To Quadro or not?!
I had a quadro, I wasn't impressed at all either. It would play games just not very well. It dealt with editors and 3dsmax about the same. I couldn't get a decent viewport speed out of it save its life. I also had a lot of trouble testing my stuff out in game. Our engine runs on two rocks and a paper clip but I would get… -
Re: Modeling question
Why not make it easy? http://www.neilblevins.com/soulburnscripts/soulburnscripts.htm Neil Blevins (soulburn) has an awesome spline painting script. You basically pick an object and paint a spline on it. Super great to do things like this. http://graphics.uni-konstanz.de/~luft/ivy_generator/ You can also play around with… -
Re: ZBrush 3.5 Announced
ZSpheres II looks really interesting. Much more like traditional sculpting where your ZSpheres are your armature, and you lay volume on top of that - with the added bonus of being able to adjust your armature from inside easily :) conte: I've used ZMapper before, it is very powerful and has a lot of options, so you really… -

Re: Basic help for a n00b?
3dsmax has some great tutorials included in the help files (Main Menu > Help). Also The Area has some good content but you have to register and log in. Outside of that I would ignore 99% of whats on youtube, stick to sites like http://www.3dtotal.com/ Good luck on the simple passage way, even the visually simple ones can… -
Re: question about shortcut override in Max
Good idea getting tricky with the mouse I like it =) I hear ya about not tripping people up, I've been training two people to do some light animation work and one of them has some crazy (to me) keyboard shortcuts and also some funky transform gizmo's from very old versions of 3dsmax, like R2 or R3, no clue how he installs… -
Re: Gears2 Environment Art
what defines the size of this grid.? In archvis, our 3dsmax units would be mm, and my display unit scale would be in metres. I'm attempting to model 'a church' typical fare for my portfolio, and Ive adopted mm and metres, (since I'm used to it, and its real world scale) Ive kept my model to the max grid as close as poss,… -
Re: Microsoft's Longhorn OS, now 'Vista', announced
[ QUOTE ] the whole reason for not moving to another operating system is that all the software and games work on windows. If you could get max for the mac, and HL2 for the mac, I'd be using one. JKMakowka you mention wine and port in the same sentance, which means you're obviously a raving drunk. [/ QUOTE ] Errmm, I said… -
Re: Noob question on projection mapping
Yea, I kind of see why someone would attempt to use their base mesh as the low poly but so much normally changes its better to start the low from scratch or from the lowest level of the sculpting app. I'm not so sure I would waste time optimizing everything, it might be quicker and easier to just model out some new pieces…
