Re: How to bake a clean normal map without split UVs Island on every hard edge
Is there a source of information regarding current best practices when baking maps in Substance Designer/Painter, apart from reading through hundreds of posts spread out over many years? I'm getting back into 3D art after a break, and I literally just watched the video describing Duard's approach this morning, only to now… -

Re: QuakeCon 2011 Keynote
I understood. It was mostly : - theories of megatexture and compromises to get it going on consoles - caching a megatexture - his mic has a bug - The idea of exploiting Intel's onboard for more direct memory access to memory for performance - a proposal to return to PC-side engine experiments in updates, in relation to the… -
Re: Looking for critique on my first UVW Unwrapped model
Yes, when you model the pieces seperately you can unwrap them as such. Each time you unwrap a section, just place off to the side of the 0-1 space. When you are done unwrapping all the pieces, then you can select all of them and apply an unwrap mod to all of them at once. Voila, all the pieces will still be where you… -
Re: Hi to Low scripts
3dsmax2009 has a creative extensions available, they included polycruncher from moo-tools. It does a pretty decent job at preserving UV's and crunching tris. It can make a mess and I mostly use it to optimize props like rocks and trees but it might work well for this also. If you're not on subscription or not on 2009 yet… -
Re: Out of place ads on Polycount
@Lazerus Reborn I don't believe it's caused by anything on my machine. * My AppData folders don't seem to contain anything unusual * I don't have any shady Chrome extensions * I run CCleaner almost daily, it should get rid of most of the cached data Chrome has stored on my machine * I run Malwarebytes quite often as well,… -
Re: Full Blast SHMUP game

Re: This website seems pretty slow
0x10cforum.com (I asked to be unmodded because I do not visit the forums nay more due to University work) and com.puter.tv (community dead basically and they fucked up the database) which was an online division of Tigerdirect. There are many reasons why your website could be slow. If you blame just the traffic.. the main… -
Re: Coming back to 3D. Is it really for me?
The Old - should I do it Question..... I would say just do it - no one can answer your Question really since we arent you nor do we know you or your art. Yes it's hard. Yes you will sacrifice fun time ( probably to an extent where you lose friends/family and even health sometimes ). If it's more then a hobby and a passion… -
Re: Call of Duty series tops $3 billion
Still, you cant really ignore the way they treated the PC market... and the whole PR shit surrounding that is pretty low (to a PC gamer) - I dont know anything about the internal workings of a company but I still find what happened rather frustrating. Also, as much as I like the multiplayer I've played it enough know to…
