Re: 3DS Max - Move Along Normal
Hi, local mode switches to the average normal of continuos subobject selection, so for polygons it might be at first a bit counterintuitive. There is Normal constraint which always moves the subobjects along their own normals, you switch it on under Edit Geometry > Constraints > Normal. Extrude moves the polygon along the… -
Re: next gen woes?
The cars will be comprised of 40,000 exterior polygons and 40,000 interior polygons. This is a huge leap when compared to the 10,000 total polygons used on the vehicles of PGR2. http://xbox360.ign.com/articles/636/636132p1.html for anyone working on nextgen titles, is this reasonable/possible polycount or just PR bs to… -
Max Script help
Hello, I've developed a very basic custom exporter for my 3D engine, that simply exports geometry, and also centers the object when it exports etc. However, there a few basic things I need to do, and I'm not sure how to go about them. I've had a gander through the MaxScript help, but can't find what I'm looking for,… -

Photoscan to Zbrush: Can't create subdivisions
Hello, So I've been getting great results from Photoscan and exporting an OBJ for Zbrush. I'm trying to take the mesh, create UVs in UV Master, send the UV mapped OBJ, get Photoscan to kick out a nice texture, then kick it all back to Zbrush for additional painting and model tweaks. Everything works well, but I've hit a… -
Re: How do you decide where to use pure geometry or Normalmaps?
Use Normal Map for fine details like follicles, wrinkles, cavities, veins, hair strands, etc. If your humanoid polygon budget is 3000 polygons, then all your muscle definition detail will be in your normal map (like Skyrim). If your humanoid polygon budget for your humanoid is 27000, then you can add somewhat detailed… -
modo extrude and taper
Dear All, I would like to extrude a polygon via a curve and I want it to be continuously smaller at its end. Like the maya taper option in the extrude function. The way I select the end polygon, make a soft selection and resize the and doesn't work beacuse the soft selection selects more vertexes that are closer to each… -
Re: My RPG -- Early Autumn Woods
Hey try to lower the polycount a bit, what are your poly budget? Here are the File size of polygons- 400000 polygons= 400 KiloByte= 0,4K 999999 polygons= 999 KiloByte= 0,999K Default a game are using around 150000000= 150 MegaByte= 150K and thats just the polycount then its particles, animations, scrips, but you still need… -
Re: Fuzz fur and hair at hipoly? Curls?
Well, in that case as a normalmap is just a texture (it can be either painted or created with a highpolygon template), you do it just as you would do it with any other low-polygon model P.S.: Curls can be made, but real models curls use too many polygons. But it can be faked by using a alpha-mapped 'curls-texture' on a few… -
