Re: [3ds max] biped head and arm rotation
Oof, and the separate tracks e.g. for the arms seem buggy as hell in 2023. No IK blend, but moving, deleting or just settings rotation keys on child keys can mess with keyframes or the interpolation of the parent limbs, sometimes not even visible in the curves, only in the viewport. It's always possible I'm the one doing… -
Re: Substance Painter - Master Thread
tbh I have to ask why bother? the only reason to use vertex colors over a texture mask is that you can't afford the mask texture. if you're doing it in painter then you're not paying for the mask texture - its all getting baked into the exported one. however.. iirc painter's vertex color and material ID bake masking are 1… -
Re: Building an environment - Evil Genius hidden forest base
Hmm! It's been a plan to explore different types of blends but for now while I am moving forward I'll stick with the two blends I'm already using*. I'm not convinced the rocks NEED that sort of texture blend happening on them but if they do, I'll add them in to the material. *Part of my goal was to investigate modulated… -
Re: Large Land Formations
My experience with large terrains: 2 racing games, approx. 8km x 8km map size - the terrain is sculpted as one big piece then chopped up into sections for artists to work on the smaller pieces - I brought the smaller pieces that were adjacent to each other into a file. I would then use a script that automatically blended… -
Re: Morpher in 3ds max problem
Just dragging the slider for the first target to 100 and keying it :) The material blend does work, the normal map is totally on, it's just darkening the whole material during the transition. If you look at the video again it even darkens the specular which is very odd. I managed to find a work around by copying the… -
Re: How to create shifting materials in terrain
this isn't typically handled on the substance side - you don't _usually_ want to be creating a big uber texture with transitions between surfaces etc. It is done, you might want to look into megatexturing, but more typically you create tiling textures that you blend on the mesh via vertex colours for example. I.e the mesh… -
Re: Floating Islands
I know the traditional method, but the thing is that i have a problem with the seams showing up, like in the example you gave on the first post, the rock is noticeble where it meets the terrains, and i really don't like it, i'm looking for a way to disguise blend objects. There should be a way to blend two objects, like… -
Re: [Completed] The Staircase - Environment
Been a while I posted something. I've been learning Substance Designer for the majority of time. I've made a mahogany tileable material and a trim sheet. Now that I'm kind of got familiar a bit more with the software I should pick up momentum (hopefully =) ) Next steps are to finish up plaster material and then dive deep… -
Re: DAY Z : Mod for ARMA II (Zombie Apocalypse Survivalist FPS/RPG)
Lol I am not Shane! ;) The server was set to a harder settings after it rebooted, it seemed. Walkers had much better hearing/vision. I was sneaking through town slowly, then two walkers came at me for no reason (they were behind a building). I had to put them down. Then four more came from the gunfire. Took out two, then… -
Re: Monthly Noob Challenge 7 (Join in!)
@Manticora - Thanks! I knew something was up with that column thing! @joshschmitt - Yea, vertex painting in engine. Here's the textures: The textures were all made in z-brush. I actually learned a lot from this forum. Here's a link to some great tutorials: http://wiki.polycount.com/EnvironmentSculpting I'm not sure what…
