Re: 3ds max .ini bash
as far as I know mentalRay (company in berlin germany) works internally with the metric system (like many other physic based simulations), the people behind 3dsmax are living in canada and even there metrics are default: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metrication_in_Canada if I am not mistaken some mentalRay materials… -
Already baked model, to new topology? Rebaked.
Is this a bad practice to do? Basically like lod's but baked down from say 300k to a 100k new version? BUT using the would've been lowpoly mesh, 300k, to the new 100k final version & NOT baking the highpoly to new version. Why not? say i couldn't separate the model but the high is separated objects. Another reason not to… -
3DS Max - Using two uv sets to blend tiled materials and non tiled?
Hi, I'm trying to figure out how to set up a material in 3dsmax that does the following: 1) Has 4 tiling materials (with base colour, normal, roughness, and metallic maps) that use tiling UVs in UV Channel 1 2) Has another material that is a colour image that sets the colour for those tiled textures (so if I have a tiling… -
Re: Best 3D program for industrial design animations?
Yeah what PolyHertz said. Maya is the big guy when it comes to character animation. What will be important to you is what you want to use the animations for and how big your budget is. C4D has a great rep for motion graphics and I taught it for years at a local college, but couldn't get used to it. Coming from 3DSMax, C4D… -
Re: Creating A Game Art Environmet
Environment Workflow Modeling For the environment models (buildings), I’m using the Face Weighted Normals technique. I’m going to use the Stairs module to show the pipeline (Image 1). I’m using the Custom Normals Tool for 3ds Max and the Tex Tools scripts. The first step is studying the model to see where I can apply… -
Re: 3DS Max Custom Normals Tool
Hi, @MilleniaGlad to hear you love the tool :) I've tested it in Max 2020.2 it works on my side. Your issue sounds like the utility window is trying to spawn off screen, it can happen if you have recently changed your monitors placement or resolution. Try this: Close Max, open the file Custom_Normals_Tool_Settings.ini… -
Re: 3DS Max, Shift dragging offsets the mesh
It seems to work if you use an orthographic view (top, left, ect). It seems to work if you turn off snaps. I think I see what's going on... Even if you create your object with grid snap turned on your pivot might not land on the grid. It's probably a bug since it works in ortho view just fine so either do that operation in… -
Re: Welcome to CeleryLand!
@ Bonkahe- Thanks, once we launch the actually class we will release the level as an example. @ e-freak- the trees are using Cryengines automated vegitation sprite system. They worked fine in the 3.4 build so I'm gonna stick with that until I find a solution. @ Lo Pan- It was good seeing you too Dan. Good luck on the Arena… -
Re: Normal artifacts mystery. Please help me solve it :/
While it won't make him happy, there are plenty of ways to preserve what he has already done and update the mesh. Source: Am animator, I deal with this all the time, it's not an issue. Make sure the meshes are in the same pose, bind the new mesh to the same bones and copy skin weights from the old mesh. Delete the old… -
Re: High poly modeling workflow questions
I do a block out to get the proportions right, model the high, make a copy, remove the support loops with ctrl + backspace, collapse verts that don't add to the silhouette, UV, and bake. 3dsMax Tips: * Swift loop is your friend, add it to a hot key. * It's OK to terminate loops on your hi poly with a triangle as long as it…
