Re: FINAL Daniel Boles - Environment
I worked like crazy the past few days to make the deadline, and then we get an extension. :D I'm glad for it though, because I want to re-sculpt some details on my hero buildings (I textured using substance so swapping in the new highpoly and rebaking will make that a breeze), and I may even add a gargoyle/statue/building… -
Re: European companies, that use...
![[Deleted User]](https://polycount.com/themes/polycount/design/default-avatar.gif)
That's all guys? What about smaller companies, maybe they are more willing to experiment with Houdini and Modo? How you see adoption of Modo beside games industry in your countries? In my country I see many smaller companies that before would jump on 3dsmax instead goind to Modo/Cinema4D now. I do have topic on odForce… -
Re: Do most studios solely use just one 3D package?
Hm, because I'm part of a small company, my coworker and I ended up with very large sets of skills on multiple pieces of software. So we're both jumping in and out of something or other at any given moment. There is just no 1 piece of software that really handles everything within a speedy time frame. Off the top of my… -
Re: [Wip] Combat Knife
Can you show your cage in xN, pls? You must be sure it covers completely the HP mesh ( that is: you should not see any part of the HP mesh in the 3D viewer, just the LP's cage color ). And... sure the "use cage" option is checked in! Also, play a bit with the "ignore back-facing hits" and "use closest hit if ray fails"… -
Re: Bend Of Brothers Discussion (3DsMaxTool)
s1dK: Sorry for the delay but I ran into trouble trying to reactivate my max 2012 license. apparently the 2012 version removes the script from your local folder giving it the error when launched. Go to C: \Users\"your user name"\AppData\Local\Autodesk\3dsMax\2012 - 64bit\enu\UI\usermacros and drop the BendOfBrothers.mse… -
Re: High to low poly baking, I'm in need of some direction.
Make sure when you bake that your low poly is set to be completely smooth. 3dsmax, everthing in one smoothing group. Maya, every edge set to smooth. Without it smooth, substance will create all kinds of hard edges that don't look right. Also triangulate your model before bringing it into substance. The low poly could be… -
Re: Maya guy learning Max, looking for tips
and if max crashes you can usually find an autoback file in the default max directory eg 3dsmax\autoback\autoback_01.max. You can set the frequency they are saved in the preferences. I have autoback's saved every 5 mins and have around 15 of them (they save sequentially). I learnt the hard way that Maya has no default… -
Re: Sculpting cement cracks?
If you want to make something like the right picture, there was a tutorial for doing that in 3dsmax, which was very easy to follow, you just have the different chunks then, but then you could sculpt them. Unfortunately i can´t find it at the moment, but basicaly the chunks were produced proceduraly an then he used a sphere… -
Re: Zbrush 4r7 - How to soften hard edges on low-poly?
This is correct. Zbrush does not use vertex normals to do its smoothing and doesn't use standard 3d shaders like most programs since the model isn't in a 3d environment (no camera, no lights, etc). Low poly models will look faceted, and only appear smoother at higher subdivision levels since the new polygons (while still… -
Re: approach to techy stuff
a smoothing group seam means you have twice the vertices there, as a vertex can always only have one attribute set (normal,uv...). Hence chamfering wouldnt affect vertex count by much, could even be less. So vertex-cost wise there is no real loss. Polygon count indeed goes up a bit, and rasterizers typically dont like…
