Re: A little planning... (Animation and Costumes?)
Off the top of my head, I imagine the new meshes get skinned to a common skeleton and then exported by themselves. Either the bones themselves act as markers or custom tags are used to keep track of the places different kinds of armor can go. Animation data is stored, saved and can be loaded into most skeletons. 3dsmax has… -
Re: How do you rig multiple objects and have their UVs in one combined UV?
@Eric Chadwick Hey, thanks for the insight. Having the eyes on a separate shader makes sense. I have "glass" corneas, so I'll do this. Unless this is uncommon for games. @Mark Dygert Hey Mark, thanks again for the tips! I was getting confused with the UV/shader setup. I did have my UV's done already, but I wanted my eyes,… -
Re: Solutions for sculpting tileable textures (other than bricks) in zbrush 4.
I will need to go all noobie mode on you guys! what I am doing wrong here?: - I make a 2048x2048k document in Zbrush - I frame the basic Zbrush polyPlane - I export this plane to 3DSMax - convert the editable mesh to editable poly and extrude the edges by sight (arbitrary) - I convert the model back to editable poly and… -
Re: Saturday morning Rant. (maya)
Likewise. Ive spent the past decade with 3dsmax. .. though, I still remember that unnerving feeling coming over from XSI to max . I really loved XSI, especially the way they utilize the three mouse buttons for the translate/rotate tool (SO awesome for speedy posing), it's too bad not many game studios that I know of use it… -
Re: Making a thatched roof?
It kind of depends on the tools that you have access to. What you can bake in and how that app treats the mesh/particles/hair but the process is roughly the same. Make your high poly/particle sim/hair, make the low, bake. You might end up making cards or clumps and then baking out those pieces. It all depends on what the… -
Re: MUDBOX beginners question
All my meshes I made in 3dsmax and imported to Mudbox, but there are certain details that would add to many polygons to include in the low poly mesh I am importing. Although not a great example (as you probably wouldn't need to sculpt an object like this) imagine adding the panelling details on this door:… -
Re: [UDK] - Stargate Level 28
Hi, I have tried to bake a NM for a metal fence. I tested baking with multiple version of LP. Normal LP (500 tris) + Smooths groups to 1 Normal LP (500 tris) + Smooths groups to 1, 2 and 3 and Optim LP (256 tris) + Smooths groups to 1 Optim LP (256 tris) + Smooths groups to 1, 2 and 3 It works pretty well, but I have a… -

Re: Attachments or Image hosting for Polycount
I personally don't like attachments just because the way my browser handles them. It opens them in the same window and when I click back any post I was working on is gone. It's killed more than a few critiques I've been working on. It's a pain to right click and choose "open in new tab" bahh... if it eats my post I don't… -
Re: Wish I was a Character Modeler!
Instead of thinking about it like "in order to be a good character modeller i need to know 3ds Max and zbrush really well," I would learn the subject matter. Knowing modelling packages is like understanding how a pencil works, it's required that you have an understanding of how to use them but they are a means to an end -…
